In this digital age, consumers have embraced online shopping, whereby the group buying (GB) strategy has been widely applied in online shopping. Therefore, it is noteworthy to decipher the global development trend of GB within the online platform. As such, this study evaluated the global research trends in GB based on publication output, co-authorship between authors and affiliated countries, as well as co-occurrence of author keywords. By deploying the bibliometric method on Scopus database, 349 journal articles published between 1957 and 2020 were retrieved. The results revealed that since 2011, the publications of GB began to increase rapidly, while the number of publications prior to 1999 was only 54, of which 38 were related to the medical field. Interestingly, researchers from China and the US contributed about 50% of the world's publications. Meanwhile, author keywords showed that vast research work had higher assertions with online GB (OGB) marketing and Internet technologies.

The demand for innovative approaches applied to productive sectors is a reality present in the circular economy and open innovation is a relatively new concept that has revolutionized the literature about innovation management. Since the concept appeared in 2003, many articles have focused on its development and application. Although some studies have connected open innovation with sustainability, the relevance of this current on the global literature about open innovation is still unidentified. In this context, this paper tries to cover this gap with a bibliometric analysis focused on the evolution of the open innovation paradigm and the relevance of sustainability in this field of research. A sample of 3087 papers published between 2003 and 2019 in the Scopus database was obtained. The analysis revealed the main topics and the most prolific journals, authors, institutions, and countries, in terms of productivity, citations, and h-indexes. Besides of these contributions, keywords analysis reveals that, in recent years, sustainability and ecosystems are decisive variables in open innovation research.

Background: This study was designed to analyze the global research on Lophomonas spp. using bibliometric techniques. Methods: A bibliometric research was carried out using the Scopus database. The analysis unit was the research articles conducted on Lophomonas spp. Results: Totally, 56 articles about Lophomonas spp. were indexed in the Scopus throughout 1933-2019 ( 87 years ) with the following information: (A) The first article was published in 1933; (B) 21 different countries contributed in studies related to Lophomonas spp.; (C) China ranked first with 16 publications about Lophomonas spp.; and (D) “Brugerolle, G” and “Beams, H.W.” from France and the US participated in 4 articles respectively, as the highest number of publications in the Lophomonas spp. network. Discussion: After 87 years, Lophomonas still remains unknown for many researchers and physicians around the world. Further studies with high quality and international collaboration are urgently needed to determine different epidemiological aspects and the real burden of the mysterious parasite worldwide.

E-commerce industry has witnessed a phenomenal growth globally due to the sudden spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the advancement of mobile Internet technology, with fast adaption of online shopping technologies by the customers. Previously, online shopping was only available in a few product categories and to a select group of consumers. The COVID-19 guidelines related to safety, physical distancing, closure, lockdown, and other restrictions have insisted that consumers shop online. Because of e-commerce growth, the grocery (FMCG) industry is also equipped with advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and block chain technology. This paper analyzes the UTAUT2 model and its influence on perceived risk and consumer trust in online purchase intention of grocery categories of products among Indian customers. We tried to analyze the growth potential of new technologies in grocery retail and formulated the hypotheses. The results showed that the spread of COVID-19 pandemic had a significant influence on the online shopping behavior of Indian customers. The outcome of the study partly assists businesses in understanding the impact of the factors of consumer adaption of technology, perceived risk associated with online transaction, consumer trust in online technologies and consumer online purchase intention of grocery products. To promote e-commerce in India, the current study suggests that marketers should try to develop consumer trust and lowering the perceived risk associated with online shopping. Some management implications and future area of study based on empirical findings are also highlighted in the present research work.

The process of globalization and digitization has continuously increased customer requirements for logistics costs and services. Issues related to the development of logistics and supply chain has received great attention. However, considering the factors of timeliness and systemic, previous studies could no longer meet the latest needs. To fill these gaps, this article reviews the 833 articles collected from the Web of Science (WoS) database from 1989 to March 2020 and mainly analyzes annual trends, top organizations, top published countries, author keywords, and main sources and disciplines, using the concepts of system thinking and knowledge-intermediary to summarize the research results. The results show that the research on logistics and supply chain is in a period of rapid development, and presents a decentralized and diversified development trend. These data and images provide a comprehensive picture of the development of the digital business economy, aiming to help researchers, funding agencies, policymakers, and industry professionals grasp the timely situation about the discipline, thus establishing a systematic understanding.
