Trends and Gaps in Prescribed Burning Research

Despite the growing importance of eating disorders in society and academic literature, only a few bibliometric review studies using bibliometric analysis were available. Hence, this study aimed to explore and uncover hidden research topics and patterns in articles in terms of eating disorders over the last 30 years. In total, 4111 articles on eating disorders were analyzed using bibliometrics, network analyses, and structural topic modeling as the basis of mixed methods. In addition to general statistics about the journal, several key research topics, such as eating disorder (ED) treatment, ED symptoms, factors triggering ED, family related factors, eating behaviors, and social factors, were found based on topic correlations. This study found the key research variables that are frequently studied with EDs, such as AN, BN, BED, and ARFID. This study may help clinicians comprehend important risk factors associated with EDs. Moreover, the findings about key ED research topics and their association can be helpful for future studies to construct a comprehensive ED research framework. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use topic modeling in an academic journal on EDs and examine the diversity in ED research over 30 years of published research.

Knowledge mapping in the field of health science is very important to do because it helps the lives of many people. The large number of scientific articles published by Universitas Padjadjaran lecturers in the health sector has not been accompanied by mapping of research topic trends. The aim of this research is to determine trends in research topics in scientific articles by lecturers at the Faculty of Health, Universitas Padjadjaran and to determine the position of research topics that have been conducted on health topics in the world and in Indonesia. The research method used is the bibliometric method with a quantitative approach using Co-word analysis based on the presence of keywords available in each scientific article. The research results show that the trend of research topics in scientific articles by health faculty lecturers in 2016-2020 is Children, Knowledge, and Breast cancer. The research focus of health faculty lecturers in 2016-2019 was on the health of children, women or mothers, and adolescent health, then the research focus shifted in 2019-2020, namely regarding the Covid-19 virus. A small number of research topic trends carried out by health faculty lecturers are in line with world and Indonesian health topics according to the World Health Organization. Trends in research topics and research topics that are still little discussed can become references and recommendations for further research in the health sector.

We map the topic structure of psychology utilizing a sample of over 500,000 abstracts of research articles and conference proceedings spanning two decades (1995–2015). To do so, we apply structural topic models to examine three research questions: (i) What are the discipline’s most prevalent research topics? (ii) How did the scientific discourse in psychology change over the last decades, especially since the advent of neurosciences? (iii) And was this change carried by high impact (HI) or less prestigious journals? Our results reveal that topics related to natural sciences are trending, while their ’counterparts’ leaning to humanities are declining in popularity. Those trends are even more pronounced in the leading outlets of the field. Furthermore, our findings indicate a continued interest in methodological topics accompanied by the ascent of neurosciences and related methods and technologies (e.g. fMRI’s). At the same time, other established approaches (e.g. psychoanalysis) become less popular and indicate a relative decline of topics related to the social sciences and the humanities.

The transformation of city centers is crucial for enhancing sustainability and livability, as urban environments face increasing challenges from rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. As urban areas continue to expand and evolve, the need for sustainable practices becomes increasingly urgent. The city center, often the heart of urban life, plays a pivotal role in shaping social interactions, economic activities, and environmental impacts. The transformation of city center and their public open spaces is a multifaceted process that requires careful consideration of design, community engagement, and accessibility. By prioritizing these elements, urban planners and policymakers can create vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban environments that enhance the quality of life for all residents. This research aims to see Research Trends and Future Direction using the method of A systematic Literature reviews with databases derived from Scopus and WOS (Web of Science) and in data management and data analysis using Bibliometrix, R-Studio and Biblioshiny applications. This research looks at reviews several documents related to the most productive authors and the most cited articles. In addition, it also looks at topic trends, theme mapping and method research formed to see trends in research topics and future research. After processing the data, the results obtained that “Public Space” is most keyword used and is also still an opportunity in research. In addition, the themes of City Center, Tourism and Urban Regeneration are future themes that need to be discussed more in the city center public open space transformation.

This includes the distributions of authors by country, the percentage of authors who are new, the percentage of new authors who return, and the distribution of authors by affiliation (acedemia, industry, and government). To derive these statistics, a database of papers, authors, and topics was developed. >

This chapter provides an overview of developments in the field from its formation in the late 1960s to the turn of the 21st century, including theoretical shifts and trends in research topics. In the 1970s, organizational communication theory and research were focused on understanding organizational communication processes scientifically with a structural-functionalist approach and a managerial bias. The 1980s brought an interpretive turn, accompanied by an enduring attention to culture and the mutual influence between self and society. The 1990s saw a groundswell of critical theory, with an accompanying period of self-reflection of the field itself. The chapter covers a number of theoretical traditions and conceptual trends, including structural-functionalism, systems theory, sensemaking, organizational culture, critical theory, and narrative. Important paradigmatic turns (i.e., interpretive, critical, and naturalistic) are discussed.

The NERAM International Colloquia series is a program of five annual meetings involving scientists, regulators, industry representatives, and other stakeholder groups to improve the linkage between emerging scientific evidence on the population health impacts of exposure to particulate matter and clean air policy decisions. Health and Air Quality 2001, the first meeting in the colloquium series, focused on the findings of prospective cohort studies of particulate air pollution and mortality and implications for risk management. A further objective of the colloquium was to identify research directions to reduce information gaps and uncertainties faced by policy makers. This article discusses priority themes for future research to generate evidence in support of policy decisions to improve air quality and population health. These research themes include development of population health indicators to characterize the public health burden of air pollution; individual exposure and outcome studies to the currently available database on the association between air pollution and adverse health effects; identification of sensitive subpopulations; techniques to assess the independent effects of individual pollutants on population health; comparative risk assessment; methods for characterization and communication of uncertainty in risk estimates; effectiveness of policy interventions to guide allocation of limited population health protection resources; improved predictions of the benefits of interventions through appropriate economic analyses: targeted interventions; and approaches for effective stakeholder engagement in risk management policy decisions. Future meetings in the NERAM Colloquium series will provide a forum for discussion of the current state of knowledge and policy implications of findings associated with these key research themes.

Nowadays organizations are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable solutions for material handling and management due to growing environmental awareness. This drive has spurred advancements in innovative technologies, optimizing logistic processes to reduce energy usage and emissions, and enhancing overall supply chain sustainability. This approach extends to internal material handling with forklifts and the emerging use of drones for last-mile operations. Despite the importance of sustainable logistic practices, the literature lacks a comprehensive review of research on forklifts and drones in logistic activities. Through a Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), this paper addresses this gap by conducting a comparative analysis of two bibliometric reviews: one on forklifts’ sustainable logistic applications and the other on drones’. This analysis aims to identify key contributors, countries, journals, and research themes in both areas. The SLNA results seek to highlight existing literature, productive countries, influential authors, and research themes. This paper provides theoretical contributions by identifying gaps in the current literature and highlighting key research themes related to sustainable logistic practices. Furthermore, it offers practical insights to industry stakeholders on integrating these practices using forklifts and drones, while also laying the groundwork for future research through a comparative analysis.

This study provides a quantitative overview of contemporary consumer behavior research in the 21st century (2001–2020) to inform future research directions in consumer behavior research. Using co‐citation analyses, this study identifies the most cited authors, publications, and academic journals in consumer behavior research in each of four 5‐year intervals in 2001–2020 to profile research themes and relationships among different research clusters. Key research themes are then mapped based on co‐citation matrices. The results show that major research themes in consumer behavior research in the last two decades have shifted from the focus on fundamentals of consumer behavior, consumers' decision‐making process, development of more robust measures and analytical methods to the focus on service quality and consumer satisfaction, online consumer behavior and virtual communities, sustainable consumption, as well as the experiential aspects of consumer behavior. The findings help map the invisible knowledge network embedded in contemporary consumer behavior research and shed light on future research agenda in consumer behavior studies.

The present research employed bibliometric analyses to systematically examine empirical washback studies published in applied linguistics journals over the past three decades (1993 to 2023). The research identified the distribution of washback scholarships globally and in Asia, the key research themes, and their evolution over time. The primary studies were retrieved from three established databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and ERIC and supplemented by tracking the reference lists of recent publications. Only journal articles of empirical studies written in English were included in the final collection (N = 243). The analysis focused on the distribution of research contexts, most productive journals and authors, prominent research themes, and their evolution over time. The 243 washback studies published in 149 journals were conducted in 40 educational contexts worldwide by 386 researchers. They showed pronounced distribution characteristics, with Asian countries and regions leading this line of research and also exhibiting differences from the research outside of Asia in research foci and methods. The topmost productive and impactful journals, authors, and references of washback research of the past 32 years, alongside the evolving basic, niche, and motor research themes, provide valuable information to understand where we have been and should go.
