SOCIAL ENTERPRISE IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LAST 10 YEARS

Leer artículo

 

 

The term social enterprise has gained notoriety since 2006, when Muhammed Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with Grameen Bank, resulting in a new business concept and the proposal of a new capitalist model. Social enterprises are focused on solving social, economic and environmental problems that have long plagued humanity, such as hunger, disease, pollution and homelessness. Due to the growing literature on social enterprises and the fragmentation of theories and concepts surrounding this term, this study investigates and shows that research on social enterprises develops over time. The research consists of a bibliometric analysis based on citation data from articles, books, and other materials available in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. This study analyzed 1063 articles on social enterprises dating from 2008 to 2018, noting that the number of publications on social enterprises changes over time.

Thirty-five years of strategic management research. A country analysis using bibliometric techniques for the 1987-2021 period

Leer artículo

 

 

As a significant field of study, thirty-five years of strategic management research has accumulated a substantial amount of knowledge. This bibliometric study explores whether the unlimited flow of knowledge and the globalization of education & research in this time period, could drive away (or deter) the identification and specific interest of research in phenomena of national importance. Using bibliometric techniques and visualization of similarities (VOS) procedures of citation and co-citation analyses, this Paper explores research trends at the country level over 35 years using data from the Web of Science database. The aims are to identify: 1) the most visible and prominent actors at the country, regional, and global-level; 2) the evolution of the subjects of research into strategic management at the country, global, and supra-regional level; and 3) the evolution of journals publishing strategic management research articles by location. Findings suggest that common research subjects coexist at higher levels of aggregation, establishing the “paradigm” or general agreement about the field’s boundaries. Additionally, findings show that at the country level, rather than following a global trend, there is an enduring diversification of research agendas that bow to national and supranational factors from geographically close places.

Leer artículo

 

 

The maximum cadmium tolerance standards were established by the European Union in 2014, for the importation of cocoa-based products, causing concern in the countries. Global studies on Theobromo cacao research related to cadmium activity in the atmosphere were analyzed. Bibliometric analyses in R and VOSviewer programs were used to examine 64 documents published tr The Scopus database according to keywords. We identified 811 keywords in the co-occurrence of terms, 5 thematic groups in the bibliographic coupling, 20 institutions as most important affiliations, 20 countries of origin of corresponding authors, 112 institutions in co-authorship network of which 5 are in primary documents, and two groups in thematic similarity in co-citation of documents. The United States leads the scientific production with 11 papers, followed by Colombia (8) and Ecuador (7). In 1996, the first scientific article was registered for the network, with increases of up to 11 publications by 2020. In conclusion, the need to strengthen and create more research networks between countries, institutions, authors, and co-authors is evident. It is hoped that the results will allow a comprehensive unraveling of the cadmium-cocoa research trajectory, while at the same time yielding new prospective research.

Leer artículo

 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of society. Researchers worldwide have been working to provide new solutions to and better understanding of this coronavirus. In this research, our goal was to perform a Bibliometric Network Analysis (BNA) to investigate the strategic themes, thematic evolution structure and trends of coronavirus during the first eight months of COVID-19 in the Web of Science (WoS) database in 2020. To do this, 14,802 articles were analyzed, with the support of the SciMAT software. This analysis highlights 24 themes, of which 11 of the more important ones were discussed in-depth. The thematic evolution structure shows how the themes are evolving over time, and the most developed and future trends of coronavirus with focus on COVID-19 were visually depicted. The results of the strategic diagram highlight ‘CHLOROQUINE’, ‘ANXIETY’, ‘PREGNANCY’ and ‘ACUTE-RESPIRATORY-SYNDROME’, among others, as the clusters with the highest number of associated citations. The thematic evolution. structure presented two thematic areas: “Damage prevention and containment of COVID-19” and “Comorbidities and diseases caused by COVID-19”, which provides new perspectives and futures trends of the field. These results will form the basis for future research and guide decision-making in coronavirus focused on COVID-19 research and treatments.

The use of Teaching Competencies during the period 1990-2019 from the point of view of a bibliometric meta-analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Nowadays societies, education is a crucial element in social and economic development. More specifically, with the creation of the European Higher Education Area, it acquires a central position as an element that unities society and the working environment, leading to the skills learning model. As a consequence, a systematic and thematic review of scientific production in teaching skills during the period 1990-2019 in the Scopus and WOS databases is proposed as the objective of the research. The sample consists of 1704 documents. Results show that WS has the highest production period in 2015-2018 while Scopus is 2016-2019. Similarly, Scopus allows you to get quote for articles much faster than WOS. The field of work has a great international dissemination since the most producing countries must spread their knowledge. On the other hand, the work teams are usually between 2 and 3 authors demonstrating that it is a growing field and finally there is no nigh diffusion in high quartile journals due to the high overlapping percentages. As future lines of work it is proposed to use Bibliometrix or Vosviewer computer software to study other bibliometric indicators such as word co-occurrence or trending topic within the field.

Researchers’ interest in finding practical applications for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies has increased as new devices have become cheaper and more accessible, being used in entertainment, healthcare, and rehabilitation fields, among others. This study aims to provide an overview of the current state of scientific literature related to VR, AR, and physical activity (PA). A bibliometric analysis of studies published between 1994 and 2022 was conducted using The Web of Science (WoS), applying the traditional bibliometric laws and using the VOSviewer software for data and metadata processing. The results revealed an exponential increase in scientific production between 2009 and 2021 (R-2 = 94%). The United States (USA) was the country/region with the most relevant co-authorship networks (72 papers); the most prolific author was Kerstin Witte, and the most prominent was Richard Kulpa. The most productive journal’s core was composed of high-impact and open access journals. A great thematic diversity was found according to the most used keywords by the co-authors, highlighting concepts such as rehabilitation, cognition, training, and obesity. Then, the research related to this topic is in an exponential development phase, with great interest in the rehabilitation and sports sciences fields.
