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.

 

 

This study proposes a model to analyze the competitiveness of Brazilian municipalities. The research was conducted in two stages: (i) a bibliometric review, covering the period from 2000 to 2014, to identify the variables adopted in the worldwide literature analyzing factors of municipal competitiveness and regional development; and (ii) a study on which of these factors are available, in a structured form, from official sources in Brazil, in order to collect secondary data and observe the situation at the municipal level. As a result, from the 88 indicators identified in the literature, 64 were available in different data bases in Brazil. The theoretical construct derived from this review is the conceptual basis for the proposed model and consists of six formative analytical dimensions: science and technology, economics, demography, infrastructure, education and health.

 

 

The present study is a bibliometric analysis of publications on interventions based on third generation therapies in children and adolescents during the years 2011-2016. For this, a descriptive study was carried out in which 60 scientific articles from diverse databases were analyzed, such as Proquest, Redalyc, Sage, ScienceDirect and Springer Science, Dialnet, Ebsco Host. It was evidenced that between the years 2012 and 2014 there was an increase in the publications of third generation therapies in Ibero-America and Europe. The International Journal of Behavioral Consultation & Therapy presents the largest number of publications in this field. In relation to the author who presents the most publications, reference is made to Swart, J as the principal. The theoretical review and the quasi-experimental study were the most reported methodology and Mindfulness the most used therapy. As for the country with the largest number of investigations in this area is the United States. This study allows us to conclude that third generation therapies have begun to gain strength in several behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents. However, it is necessary to expand the research in this field since in most articles the degree of efficacy is not quantified.

 

 

This paper characterizes the state of the art in the area of reverse logistics by analyzing publications in the ScienceDirect and Web of Science (WOS) databases through bibliometric and systematic analysis. From a sample of 462 papers, leading journals, authors, research institutions and countries, as well as research partnerships were identified. It was noted that publications on the subject have steadily increased over the years, with the United States having the largest number of publications and partnerships. Brazilian researchers should seek partnerships with foreign institutions, since they have demonstrated the potential to enrich discussions and foster quality publications. This paper identified the main studies in this area, as well as the gaps that could guide future researches.

 

 

This paper presents a bibliometric and systemic analysis of product development, digital manufacturing, and product manufacturing information. The ProKnow-C (Knowledge Development Process – Constructivist) method was used to achieve the aim of this study, for it allows researchers to acquire knowledge and detect relevant studies that can support the theoretical foundation of scientific research. After selection, a collection of relevant papers was subjected to quantitative analysis for identifying the most important authors, journals, and keywords. Thereafter, a systemic analysis was accomplished in order to verify the content of articles in a bibliographic portfolio and identify opportunities, trends, and research gaps. Finally, the main research opportunities in the proposed area of interest of were recognized and hereby presented.

 

 

The aim of this study is to explore the scaling relationship between degree centrality and citation-based performance of countries articles on Strategic Management. The results show a scaling relationship between Impact and degree centrality with scaling exponent of 1,28 +/- 0,07. This result suggests that the Impact of a countries’ articles on strategic management increases non-linearly with degree centrality 2(1,28) o 2,42 times when the country doubles its degree centrality. The results suggest that the increase of the participation of countries in international collaborative networks on strategic management research is a positive strategy to foster the international visibility and impact on strategic management research.

 

 

This paper analyzes the research studies on social entrepreneurship (SE) and maps out the study axes on this subject. A bibliometric method was used in order to analyze 296 scientific papers available in Scopus database, which were published between 1988 and 2016. The study made it possible to verify the evolution of the study of SE throughout the time, authorship and co-authoring, as well as retrieval of similar words. The results yielded four research categories: SE studies, society, education and housing policies. An exploratory factor analysis resulted in six factors that map the study fields in ES. The research study revealed the difficulty to define the notion of SE, the motivations of social entrepreneurs, as well as their traits and competences.

 

 

Objective: to analyze the international scientific production on Zika virus and pregnancy. Methods: a bibliometric survey was carried out in the ISI Web of Knowledge/Web of Science database, using the search terms “Pregnancy”, “ZikV” and “Bibliometrics”, from the export of this data to the HistCite (TM) bibliometric analysis software. Results: 355 publication records were identified and the 11 most cited articles were selected in the Web of Science (global) and those most cited in the selected articles (local) in 207 different journals indexed to the database in question, written by 2,435 authors who had links with 799 institutions, located in 59 countries. Conclusion: obscure aspects remain about the natural history of Zika virus in pregnant women, clinical profile, epidemiology, and lack clarity about the existence of cofactors associated with infection by Zika virus.
