The new Coronavirus (namely Covid-19) discovered in 2019 in Wuhan has sickened more than three million people in worldwide. Because Covid-19 is spreading so fast and killing so many people, it has encouraged researchers to conduct research and publish it in various mass media, including journals. This study aims to analyze the scope of Covid-19 research using a bibliometric review. To obtain information about Covid-19 studies, the Scopus database was used. Topic areas with titles, keywords, and abstract criteria in Covid-19 studies were used as a reference for extracting search results. Search result extraction was done using VOSviewer. After that, the results of bibliometric mapping were analyzed further. A total of 3,513 articles were found in the Scopus database accessed on April 25, 2020. There was a significant increase in the number of publications on Covid-19 from 2019 to 2020. Among all countries, China contributed the most publications. Meanwhile, the keywords coronavirus, pandemic, and impact turned out to be the area's most widely discussed. Through VOSViewer we analyzed how many articles have been published about Covid-19 and its relationships to a topic area. This review certainly can provide a reference point for further research related to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Background: The objective of the present review is to perform the 1st bibliometric analysis of sleep disorders research. Methods: The data was retrieved from Scopus in July, 2020 for detail analysis. Results: The 1st precise document about the sleep disorder was published in 1945. Till 15th July 2020, total 69657 documents were found in Scopus database. Approximately eighty two percent (57013/81.87%) documents are published in the last twenty years (from 2001-2020). We calculated the per year growth rate (GR) of publications (from 2000-onwards). The highest number of documents are published in 2019 (4337/7.90% of 57013) followed by 2018 (4249/7.74% of 57013) and 2017 (3974/7.24% of 57013). Infact the productivity index (PI) for 1950-1960 and 2011-2020 era was found to be 100.21. We also provided the details of the top 50 countries with maximum number of publications (from 1945 to July 2020). The top three (3) countries are USA with 24262 publications (34.83%), followed by UK (5566/8.0%) and Germany (4791/6.87%). We also performed the co-words analysis. Infact total 956643 (0.95 million) keywords were retrieved from 69657 published documents. After critical analysis we categorized them in different groups to show the trend in various domains. In the next phase of the study, only those documents were analyzed which contained the phrase “sleep disorder” in the titles of the publications. Total 3626 documents were found. We calculated the per year growth rate (GR). The continental distribution, the list of top twenty authors, sources/journals, departments or institutes, countries and research documents with highest citations are provided. By VOSviewer analysis, 6752, 36511 and 11473 terms in titles of the manuscripts, abstracts and keywords were recorded, respectively. This may help in describing the overall trend in these publications. Conclusions: The present study provides a detail list of top authors, departments, countries, sources and top 20 most cited documents. The co-words analysis may help in describing the trends in the field of sleep disorders.

The article presents the results of the publications' analysis on the issue of sensory marketing. The study was conducted using bibliometric analysis, and the visualization method was used to visualize the results. In total, to achieve the goal of this study, 182 publications (articles) from the Scopus database for the period from 2004 to 2020 were processed. The search in the Scopus database was performed in the field "title, abstract, keywords". Visualization of the results was performed using VOSviewer programs. The analysis provides the following results. First, the study found that the problem of sensory marketing is quite new and in development. The total number of publications in the field of sensory marketing, as well as the number of citations, is gradually increasing since 2011. The peak of publishing activity was in 2020. Second, one-third of publications are related to such areas of knowledge as business, management, and accounting, while 10% of publications are related to economics, econometrics, and finance, and 10% of publications are related to psychological sciences. Third, scientists from different institutions, countries, and continents work on the issue of sensory marketing. The scientific cooperation becomes deeper. It contributes to the creation of geographical clusters. The three largest clusters are formed around the United States, Great Britain, and France. Fourth, six articles were cited more than 100 times. It indicates their high scientific level. Fifth, the main "critical" areas of research on sensory marketing include sensory marketing, marketing, consumer behavior, color, and music. Around these keywords powerful scientific clusters are formed. Moreover, the research topic of sensory marketing was significantly deepened, moving from the analysis of the relationship between sensory marketing and consumer behavior in articles published before 2015, to a comprehensive approach of the sensory marketing tools use, their impact on product sprinting, storage, etc., starting in 2019 p. The obtained results of the analysis and their graphical interpretation are relevant and form the basis for a better understanding of the issues of sensory marketing. They can help to find the gaps and offer useful guidance for further researches.

The main aims of the present review are to provide a bibliometric analysis of the research published on the nutrition of the exercising horse from 1970 to 2010 and to determine whether this research has had any practical impact on feeding practices. In addition, we evaluated whether some of the key nutritional questions posed at the beginning of the 1980s have in fact been answered. Less than 300 publications were published in the period 1970-1980, but a large increase in the number of publications was observed between the period 1981-1990 and the period 1991-2000. Most papers were published in the Equine Veterinary Journal and American researchers, universities or institutes were particularly productive. The majority of the publications were in the areas of fluid balance, fat and glucose metabolism. Using information from field studies, there appears to have been a trend for a reduction in the amount of starch rich concentrates fed to performance horses from 1979 to 2007 and an increase in the use of oil supplementation. Whilst there have been several significant advances in our scientific knowledge of nutritional practices over the past few decades that have become routine practice in the field, others have not cascaded down. Unfortunately, we have not really fully answered any of the questions posed in the early 1980s and whilst it is possible that such questions can never be fully answered, there is also a concern that lack of sufficient funding, especially for the fundamental pieces of information needed to underpin our nutrition advice, will hamper progress in the future.

BACKGROUND: For augmentation and sustainability of Human Systems Management (HSM), it is significant to analyse and reposition journals, which is very well done by bibliometric analysis. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to provide the retrospective of HSM between 1980– 2019. METHOD: Scopus database has been employed to bibliographic indicators for the representation of available data for forty years. By utilising the VOSviewer software, bibliographic materials being drawn from keywords, graphical visuals, bibliographic coupling & co-citation analysis have been done. RESULTS: Results enabled to establish that the average number of publications remained almost the same throughout forty years, tinting the journal has been as vital in 2019 for researchers as it was in 1980. Citations originated drastic mounting with recently published documents in comparison with earlier production. CONCLUSIONS: Authors and researchers are suggested to cover knowledge and knowledge management related articles. This study suggests management to ensure the inculcation of more related areas in the scope by announcing special issues to broaden the journals’ scope as it remained the main reason for limiting HSM from gaining as much attention as it deserved.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyse physics on photography research and see its trends to find the opportunity for further research. A bibliometric analysis was used in this study. The search results from the Scopus database were extracted using the VOS viewer software. A total of 432 documents related to physics of photography were analysed and mapped. The results mapped the trend of documents across years, language, countries, affiliation, type, sources, authors, and key words. The results have also indicated two major clusters and one minor cluster in researching on physics of photography. The first cluster (green colour) was photography as an application. The second cluster (red) was photography specified into high-speed photography and modern photography. The third cluster (blue) was technology of photography in connecting with competition. A proposed model for future research is also illustrated. Thus, it can be an opportunity for further researchers to conduct research related to this area.

The article presents a bibliometric review of the array of the of the most actively cited Russian publications in the Scopus database for the period 2010-2020. The criteria for studying the array of publications with the highest citation were the following: frequency distribution of publications by type; determination of the share in open access; frequency distribution of documents by quartiles of publications; frequency distribution by SciVal topics; frequency distribution by the degree of relevance of topics (percentiles); analysis of publications by the number of co-authors; Influence on field-weighted citation (FWCI); determination of the share of publications made with and without foreign participation; determination of the list of countries with which the greatest amount of work was carried out; distribution of publications by shares in various fields of knowledge; determination of the average number of co-authors per 1 publication; determination of leading organizations by the number of publications included in the top 550 by citation for the period 2010-2020.It was found that the vast majority of publications with the highest citations were issued by major international organizations, and most of them are concentrated in journals with a high open access rating, mainly in the first CiteScore quartile. The leading fields in terms of the number of most cited documents are Medicine, followed by physics and astronomy, as well as biochemistry, Genetics and molecular biology. It is shown that it is preferable to use SciVal themes, rather than the thematic area of journals. It is shown that when ranking publications by citation, one should focus on the influence of citation weighted by field, but not on the overall citation. The greatest citation of Russian publications is observed in works performed within the framework of MegaScience projects in international mega-co-authorship. The study of the array of the most actively cited Russian scientific publications is important both for monitoring the dynamics of their significance level and for developing a strategy to increase it.
