Augmented reality is an emerging technology that has gained great relevance thanks to the benefits of its use in learning spaces. The present study focuses on determining the performance and scientific production of augmented reality in higher education (ARHE). A bibliometric methodology for scientific mapping has been used, based on processes of estimation, quantification, analytical tracking, and evaluation of scientific research, taking as its reference the analysis protocols included in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses for Protocols (PRISMA-P) matrix. A total of 552 scientific publications on the Web of Science (WoS) have been analyzed. Our results show that scientific productions on ARHE are not abundant, tracing its beginnings to the year 1997, with its most productive period beginning in 2015. The most abundant studies are communications and articles (generally in English), with a wide thematic variety in which the bibliometric indicators “virtual environments” and “higher education” stand out. The main sources of origin are International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED) Proceedings and Education and New Learning Technologies (EDULEARN) Proceedings, although Spanish institutions are the most prolific. In conclusion, studies related to ARHE in the WoS have become increasingly abundant since ARHE’s research inception in 1997 (and especially since 2009), dealing with a wide thematic variety focused on “virtual environments” and “higher education”; abundant manuscripts are written in English (communications and articles) and originate from Spanish institutions. The main limitation of the study is that the results only reveal the status of this issue in the WoS database.

The Impact

Background: Virtual reality (VR) experiences (through games and virtual environments) are increasingly being used in physical, cognitive, and psychological interventions. However, the impact of VR as an approach to rehabilitation is not fully understood, and its advantages over traditional rehabilitation techniques are yet to be established. Method: We present a systematic review which was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). During February and March of 2018, we conducted searches on PubMed (Medline), Virtual Health Library Search Portal databases (BVS), Web of Science (WOS), and Embase for all VR-related publications in the past 4 years (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018). The keywords used in the search were “neurorehabilitation” AND “Virtual Reality” AND “devices.” Results: We summarize the literature which highlights that a range of effective VR approaches are available. Studies identified were conducted with poststroke patients, patients with cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and other pathologies. Healthy populations have been used in the development and testing of VR approaches meant to be used in the future by people with neurological disorders. A range of benefits were associated with VR interventions, including improvement in motor functions, greater community participation, and improved psychological and cognitive function. Conclusions: The results from this review provide support for the use of VR as part of a neurorehabilitation program in maximizing recovery.

The bibliometric method has proven to be a powerful tool for the analysis of scientific publications, in such a way that allows rating the quality of the knowledge generating process, as well as its impact on firm´s environment. This article presents a comparison between two powerful bibliographic databases in terms of their coverage and the usefulness of their content. The comparison starts with a subject associated to the relationship between resources and capabilities. The outcomes show that the search results differ between both databases. The Web Of Science (WOS), has a greater coverage than SCOPUS has.  It also has a greater impact in terms of most cited authors and publications. The search results in the WOS yield articles from 2001, while Scopus yields articles from 1976, however, some of the latter are inconsistent with the topic being searched. The analysis points to a lack of studies regarding resources as foundations of firm´s capabilities; as a result, new research on this field is suggested.

Objective. In this study, the current state of research on traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) through a bibliometric analysis of research documents located in the Web of Science (WoS) database was assessed. Methods. The WoS database was searched on September 2021 with the keywords “traditional Mongolian medicine.” Publications on TMM scientific research were included in this study, without any language limitations. Bibliometric data from such publications were retrieved from the WoS database. Full records with cited reference lists were descriptively analyzed. To assess trends in TMM research topics, authors’ keywords were analyzed. A thematic evolution map based on coword analysis was suggested. To analyze research networks among co-authors, affiliations, or countries of the authors, collaboration networks were evaluated. The Bibliometrix R package (3.1) was used for the analysis. Results. A total of 234 scientific publications were included in the analysis. The top three countries of origin of the corresponding authors were China (n = 153), Japan (n = 28), and South Korea (n = 9). The top three relevant affiliations of the authors in the included publications were “Inner Mongolia Medical University,” “Inner Mongolia University of Nationalities,” and “National University of Mongolia.” “Flavonoids,” “cytotoxicity,” “NMR,” and “Tibetan medicine” were the most frequently used keywords in the included documents. Most publications focused on the chemical analysis and mechanism of effects of Mongolian herbal medications. There were few publications on nonpharmacological interventions such as bloodletting or TMM diagnostics, which should be promoted in future publications. Conclusion. There were only a limited number of publications on TMM identified through a search of the WoS database, using the keywords “Traditional Mongolian medicine.” More improved strategy for searching for TMM publications must be established. Research publications on TMM, especially regarding nonpharmacological interventions, need to be promoted. In addition, collaboration with researchers worldwide needs to be encouraged in the future.

Se ha buscado analizar la producción científica sobre el término Open Government en la base de datos Web of Science durante el período de 2010 a 2016, usando como filtro de búsqueda los títulos de los artículos en todas las lenguas y considerando la dispersión de la producción intelectual internacional. La investigación seleccionó las revistas más relevantes del área de ciencias sociales aplicadas, observando el impacto de esas revistas en esta área de conocimiento. La investigación es de carácter cuantitativo, pues se analizó la producción científica a través del acceso en línea a la base de datos Web of Science que alcanzó hasta 3.165 registros totales. Para hacer el análisis de la dispersión de la literatura afectada se aplicó la ley bibliométrica de Bradford. Se empleó como herramienta de hoja de cálculo para analizar los datos obtenidos en la minería, así como para tabularlos y tratarlos. El trabajo revela que, a lo largo de los años, las publicaciones muestran una aparición no lineal, registrándose un aumento significativo en la producción relativa al contexto internacional. De acuerdo con el núcleo de la ley de Bradford, se demuestra que el término Open Government muestra calidad en las publicaciones científicas en las que se difunde, pero que aún se encuentra en una fase de lucha por su espacio en las publicaciones científicas dentro de una ciencia actual en transformación. The objective of this study was to analyze the scientific production of the term Open Government in the Web of Science database from 2010 to 2016, using as search filter the titles of articles in all languages, considering the distribution of international intellectual productions. The research retrieved the most relevant journals in the area of applied social sciences, observing the impact of these journals to this area of knowledge. The research has a quantitative character, as it was analyzed the scientific production with online access of the Web of Science database covering a total of 3,165 documents. One of the main laws of bibliometrics was applied, Bradford's law for this analysis. If you used a spreadsheet tool for mining analysis, tabulation and data processing. The work reveals non-linearity in publications over the years recording a significant increase in production in an international context. It is concluded that the term Open Government has quality in scientific productions according to the core of the law of Bradford demonstrated in that study, however, the term is still gaining space in scientific publications nowadays in a society in transformation. Objetivou-se analisar a produção cientifica sobre o termo Open Government na base de dados Web of Science no período de 2010 a 2016, usando como filtro de busca os títulos dos artigos em todas as linguagens, considerando a distribuição das produções intelectuais internacionais. A pesquisa recuperou os periódicos mais relevantes da área de ciências sociais aplicadas, observando seu impacto para esta área de conhecimento. A pesquisa tem caráter quantitativo, pois analisou-se a produção cientifica com acesso online da base de dados Web of Scienceabrangendo um total de 3.165 registros. Aplicou-se uma das principais leis da bibliometria, a lei de Bradford para essa análise. Utilizou-se uma ferramenta de planilha para análise da mineração, tabulação e tratamento dos dados. O trabalho revela a não linearidade nas publicações ao longo dos anos registrando um aumento significativo na produção em um contexto internacional.

La mediación educativa en el ámbito de la Educación No Formal y de las industrias culturales es, cada vez más importante, especialmente a la hora de llegar con eficacia a los públicos y la ciudadanía por parte de las instituciones vinculadas al patrimonio, el arte y la creatividad. De forma específica, los museos requieren de una formación y capacitación en la función mediadora y educativa. Este trabajo, basado en una revisión bibliográfica de artículos en revistas de impacto, analiza las publicaciones científicas en la Web of Science (WOS) vinculadas a la formación de educadores en museos. El análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de las características principales de estos contenidos nos lleva a afirmar que la educación en museos y patrimonio es una línea emergente de investigación, aunque se trata de un sector en el que existen dificultades para trasladar al mundo académico e investigador la riqueza y diversidad de la educación en museos. En concreto, la WOS no cuenta con un contenido destacado en la temática general de mediación en museos y, particularmente, de la formación de ese colectivo profesional. En la selección final de 51 artículos, las publicaciones procedentes de universidades o instituciones españolas tienen un peso destacado. En resumen, es imprescindible apostar por la presencia de la realidad profesional de los museos en los circuitos de investigación, mejorando la reflexión y el análisis sobre la preparación y capacitación de estos profesionales. Educational mediation in non-formal education and cultural industries contexts is increasingly important, especially when institutions of heritage, art and creativity try to reach effectively the public and citizenship. Specifically, museums require training and instruction in mediation and the educational role. This work, based on a bibliographic review of articles in impact journals, analyses the scientific publications on the Web of Science (WOS) linked to the training of educators in museums. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the main characteristics of these contents leads us to affirm that education on museums and heritage is an emerging line of research. Although it is a sector in which there are some difficulties translating the richness and diversity of education in museums to the academic and researcher world. In particular, the WOS does not have a prominent content in the general theme of mediation in museums and, in particular, the training of these professionals. In the final 51 articles selected, the publications coming from Spanish universities or institutions have an outstanding weight. In summary, it is necessary to support the presence of the professional reality of museums in academic research circuits, improving reflection and analysis on the preparation and training of these professionals.
