Chatbots and ChatGPT: A Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review of Publications in Web of Science and Scopus Databases

This chapter surveys the range of themes that constitute the ‘state of the art’ in present rural criminology in Europe. Through this thematic lens, as opposed to an analysis of criminology in the regions of Europe, we map out the strengths, limitations, opportunities and prospects for rural criminology on the continent. We undertook a bibliographic review of rural criminology in Europe, first by searching the literature using Google Scholar with some simple and obvious search terms of crime, rural, criminology, policing, crime prevention, criminal justice, research and names of European countries. Publications in Web of Science, Scopus and JSTOR databases were automatically included. To organise the discussion, the chapter broadly adopts a thematic structure to capture writing on rural crime in various dimensions: criminal justice institutions, but with a particular focus on rural policing, and reflecting on theorising in rural criminology, based upon rural cases.

Cancer poses a major global health challenge, and immunotherapy, known as the third revolution in cancer treatment, has brought new hope to patients. The emerging field of immunometabolism has further enhanced the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy. Over the past two decades, this field has rapidly evolved in oncology, leading to numerous significant findings. This review systematically examines the literature on immunometabolism in cancer, visualizing research trends and identifying future directions. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases, covering publications from January 2000 to December 2023. We employed tools like Citespace, VOSviewer, and RStudio for visual analysis of publication trends, regional contributions, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords. A total of 3320 articles were published by 8090 authors across 1738 institutions, involving 71 countries. Leading contributors were China (n=469), the United States (n=361), and Germany (n=82). Harvard University was the most influential institution, while Frontiers in Immunology had the highest number of publications. The top research areas included glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, the tumor microenvironment, and immune cell regulation. International collaboration and interdisciplinary efforts are advancing the field of cancer immunometabolism. Future research will likely focus on the interplay between metabolism and immunity, metabolic markers, immune cell reprogramming, and tumor-immune metabolic competition.

Bibliometric analysis provides an accurate report of the quantity and quality of research affiliated with a specific country. We aimed to use bibliometric analysis to evaluate previously published dermatology-related studies from Saudi Arabia (SA). We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases to retrieve all SA-affiliated dermatology research from the databases' respective dates of conception to July 9, 2021. The number of publications was determined by the total number of articles, the number of times an article was cited, publishing journals, and affiliated institutions. The Hirsch index (h-index) was used to describe the quality of the articles. In total, SA-affiliated dermatologists published 1,319 articles in WoS and Scopus. Approximately half (n=603) of these articles were published in the past six years. According to WoS, the total number of citations was 9,285 with more than half of all citations also occurring in the past six years. The International Journal of Dermatology was associated with the highest number of publications, followed by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. SA had the second-highest number of publications in the Arab world. Our area has recently experienced rapid growth in dermatology publications. We encourage the use of data from the current study to identify the strengths and weaknesses of such publications, to direct researchers and funds to enhance the national growth of dermatology research, and to conduct periodic bibliometric analyses with the aim of assessing the quality and quantity of SA-affiliated publications over time.

This study was conducted to perform a bibliometric analysis of research in the field of green accounting. In this context, publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database were examined. As of March 30, 2024, a search was conducted in the WoS database using the keyword “green accounting”, with all WoS Core Collection criteria selected. The search results revealed no studies related to green accounting prior to 1992, while 250 studies were identified between 1992 and 2024. The highest number of publications was recorded in 2013. Among the analyzed studies, economics was found to be the most prominent research field, encompassing 118 publications. In terms of country-based contributions, the United States led the field with 61 studies. The World Bank was identified as the institution contributing the most to green accounting research. Additionally, Nicholas Z. Muller and Robert Mendelsohn were determined to be the most highly cited authors in the field. Furthermore, the study conducted co-authorship, institutional collaboration, and country collaboration network analyses, along with keyword mapping, bibliographic coupling of texts, and co-citation analysis of authors. Based on these analyses, visual mappings were created, and the discussion and conclusions were presented.

Coagulation tends to be one of the most widely used techniques in the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater and drinking water; however, its high cost and acquisition tend to be a disadvantage. The present investigation carried out a bibliometric analysis of reference to the use of coagulants of natural origin for the treatment of water for human consumption. For the bibliographic analysis, we worked with the Scopus and Web of Science databases, considering articles and reviews published in the period from January 2011 to September 2021. The cooccurrence and co-citation maps were carried out using the use of VOSviewer software. As a result, 678 investigations were obtained for Scopus and 1273 for Web of Science. For both databases, the subject area with the highest number of publications was "environmental science", and the country with the highest number of publications on naturally occurring coagulants in Scopus was India and in the web of Science China. In addition, it was identified that coagulation and flocculation were the most used technologies for water treatment, with Moringa Oleifera being the natural coagulant with the highest efficiency and with the most studies. Finally, it is concluded that the use of natural coagulants is favorable since they have a low cost and are friendly to the environment.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease with acquired neuromuscular junction transmission disorders. In the last two decades, various pathogenesis, application of immunosuppressive agents, and targeted immunotherapy have been significant events. However, extracting the most critical information from complex events is very difficult to guide clinical work. Therefore, we used bibliometrics to summarize and look forward. Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was identified as a source of material for obtaining MG-related articles. Scimago Graphica, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and bibliometrix were utilized for bibliometric analysis. Knowledge network graphs were constructed and visualized; countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords were evaluated. In addition, GraphPad Prism and Microsoft Excel 365 were applied for statistical analysis. As of October 25, 2022, 9,970 original MG-related articles were used for the bibliometric analysis; the cumulative number of citations to these articles was 236,987, with an H-index of 201. The United States ranked first in terms of the number of publications (2,877) and H-index (134). Oxford has the highest H-index (67), and Udice French Research University has the highest number of publications (319). The author with the highest average number of citations (66.19), publications (151), and H-index (53) was Vincent A. 28 articles have remained in an explosive period of citations. The final screening yielded predictive keywords related to clinical trials and COVID-19. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 9,970 original MG-related articles published between 1966 and 2022. Ultimately, we found that future MG research hotspots include two major parts: (1) studies directly related to MG disease itself: clinical trials of various targeted biological agents; the relationship between biomarkers and therapeutic decisions, pathogenesis and outcome events, ultimately serving individualized management or precision therapy; (2) studies related to MG and COVID-19: different variants of COVID-19 (e.g., Omicron) on MG adverse outcome events; assessment of the safety of different COVID-19 vaccines for different subtypes of MG.

With the population aging, there is an associated rise in the prevalence of adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS). However, limited data were found to elaborate the trend of ADS research. Our study aims to investigate the global trend of ADS research in this decade. ADS-related publications from 2010 to 2019 were extracted from the Web of Science and Medline database. Excel 2016, GraphPad Prism 6, and VOSviewer software were adopted to analyze the search results for number of publications, citation, and H-index. A total of 1282 papers were included and were cited 16,770 times. The USA accounted for 40.41% of the articles, 60.35% of the citations, and the highest H-index of 51. China ranked second in total number of articles, third in citation frequency (1373), and fourth with an H-index of 18. The journal Spine (IF = 2.903, 2019) had the highest number of publications. Shaffery CI published the most articles in this field (40). Key words of ADS research were classified into three clusters: "Surgical technique," "Mechanism," and "Radiological parameter." The "Radiological parameter" cluster became the most popular, and it came with the latest hot spots of "slope," "cervical lordosis," "mismatch," and "PI-LL." Literature growth in ADS was rapidly expanding in this decade. The USA was the most productive country and also had a largest quantity of top authors and institutes, so that scholars can keep following and cooperated with. Radiological parameter was an emerging topic and might also be a hot spot in the near future.

One of the indicators that symbolize the success of an academic field is its academic publications in well-established citation indices. This article first explored the bibliometric characteristics of publications on “teachers' emotional labor” (TEL) in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), two prestigious citation indices available in the Web of Science (WoS). Search with the term “teacher emotional labor” retrieved 173 publications that included this term in their titles, abstracts, or keywords in the WoS database between 1900 and 2020. The bibliometric characteristics pertaining to numbers of publications, document types, research categories, research areas, authors, journals, universities, and countries were reported. Then, CiteSpace was utilized to visualize TEL research and to obtain insights into its research focuses and its future directions. The findings will contribute to TEL research by informing scholars in the fields of L2 research and psychology and others.
