The application VOS viewer displays a plot a relevance distance-based map along with keyword relevance clusters derived from the reference sections (Khalil & Crawford, 2015). From information from Figure 4, it can be observed that the topmost frequent data extracted from the total references conducted between the years of 1990 to 2018 by KeyWords plus illustration.…”

Purpose: The recent decades were witnessed such a rapid rise in wellbeing researches on the field of psychology. Social psychology intervention (SPI) has a strong impact on individual mental health and remarkable achievement in education domain. In this context, subject development within the last years could be illustrated through a bibliometric approach. This research aimed to analyze the scientific productivity while considering global trends of psychological intervention. Methodology: Web of Science Core Collection databases were selected in the period from 1990 to mid-2018. By thoroughly scrutinizing the objects which came to this attention, the trend of documents, publication date, geographic contribution to the field, relevant authorship and most cited articles, as well as frequent keywords from more than thousand references, were investigated. Main Findings: The results clearly indicate that the United States of America dedicates itself with the highest level of attention in the area of social psychology intervention. Whereas, lower attention was focused on the research criteria in Asian continent, except China. Although the majority of the studies on SPI approach is from USA, but performed analysis highlight the vast research potential to validate without any specific considerations to certain region settings or cultures. Implications/Applications: Despite advantages of SPI, the majority of the existed researches has been carried out predominantly in United States. Whereas, from defining the unit of analysis, the hypothesis might worthily be studied by practitioners to generalize the issue over various frameworks.

“…In the studied literature there is a diversity of articles that use bibliometric techniques to analyze scientific productions, without being restricted to a specific area, according to the works developed by Kozak, Bornman, and Leydesdorff [2014], which dealt with how research was affected by the demise of the Soviet Union; Romanelli et al [2018], who presented analyzes on ecological restoration; and Sweileh [2018], who dealt with the use of drugs related to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Bibliometric techniques are known to be used to analyze scientific branches, but these analyzes are not considered infallible [WANG et al, 2014;KHALIL;GOTWAY CRAWFORD, 2015]. The lack of perception by databases in the case of the same words and acronyms, that is, the same words with only different spellings, is one of the limitations of bibliometrics that must be circumvented by careful analysis of the data collected in search of synonyms.…”

“…The lack of perception by databases in the case of the same words and acronyms, that is, the same words with only different spellings, is one of the limitations of bibliometrics that must be circumvented by careful analysis of the data collected in search of synonyms. Another problem linked to the indicators used in bibliometric studies refers to the fact that the analysis of these indicators is quantitative, so they do not provide a qualitative analysis of the contributions of each work to the literature [KHALIL;GOTWAY CRAWFORD, 2015;OKUBO, 1997]. In this context, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the use of the Delphi method in scientific articles with authors with affiliations in Brazilian institutions.…”

The Delphi method is a technique used to reach consensus among specialists in an area who will be able to predict demands or analyze conjunctures about strategic themes. Within this context, the present work consisted of a bibliometric evaluation performed in the Scopus database with the aid of VOSviewer software, prioritizing journals with an affiliation of Brazilian institutions and that made use of the Delphi method for the development of their research. Data collection went through validation stages, and the results obtained showed that this tool was used in several areas of knowledge, with great emphasis on health, more specifically in Medicine, Nursing, and Public health. Together, these three areas accounted for more than 60% of publications made available.

BackgroundThe Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a network of health-related telephone surveys--conducted by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and participating US territories—that receive technical assistance from CDC. Data users often aggregate BRFSS state samples for national estimates without accounting for state-level sampling, a practice that could introduce bias because the weighted distributions of the state samples do not always adhere to national demographic distributions.MethodsThis article examines six methods of reweighting, which are then compared with key health indicator estimates from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) based on 2013 data.ResultsCompared to the usual stacking approach, all of the six new methods reduce the variance of weights and design effect at the national level, and some also reduce the estimated bias. This article also provides a comparison of the methods based on the variances induced by unequal weighting as well as the bias reduction induced by raking at the national level, and recommends a preferred method.ConclusionsThe new method leads to weighted distributions that more accurately reproduce national demographic characteristics. While the empirical results for key estimates were limited to a few health indicators, they also suggest reduction in potential bias and mean squared error. To the extent that survey outcomes are associated with these demographic characteristics, matching the national distributions will reduce bias in estimates of these outcomes at the national level.
