Gamification, which refers to the use of game design elements in non-game contexts, provides similar experiences and motivations as games do; this makes gamification a useful approach to promote positive behaviors. In recent years, the volume of scientific publications focusing on gamification has increased. It has been applied to different fields (e.g. learning and training, mental health, positive behavior and behavior change, personnel selection, employees training, etc.); in this way, the scientific community has spread out over different domains and with different aims. Gamification has turned out to be an excellent method also to provide a sense of community, encouraging social interaction in both present and online contexts, increasing competencies in work and educational settings. This has made gamification also a useful tool during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which it has been used to promote an active and interactive experience in the educational environment. As a useful tool for keeping users motivated, engaged and active, there is a wide interest in adopting gamification solutions for supporting and promoting positive behaviors and behavior change (e.g. quit smoking, ecological behaviors, food choices, civic engagement, mental healthcare, sustainability, etc.). However, the development of this research area has proceeded without a unique theoretical approach or a clear concept of the field; even though several studies analyzing the literature have been made, a literature mapping of gamification applied for behavior change is still missing. In this study, we use the CiteSpace software to examine 447 publications and their 20608 unique references on gamification applied for behavior change. The corpus of studies was downloaded from the Scopus database and refers to studies published between 2012 and 2021. Several methods were used to analyze these data: (1) document co-citation analysis (DCA) was performed to identify the pivotal researches and the research areas; (2) author co-citation analysis (ACA) was performed to identify the main authors; (3) country collaboration and institutions network analysis were performed to identify the countries and institutions that contribute the most; and finally, (4) keyword analysis was performed to detect the most influential keywords and their change over time. Overall, we discuss the findings and the need for a more cooperative and united community, in order to make the use of gamification applied to behavior change more effective, faster and goal-oriented. Hence, we introduce some future challenges to promote an improvement in the quality of publications in this research domain, as well as in other gamification fields.

“…The co-occurrence network analysis is based on a mixed method of clustering and network mapping built for data set mining and the selection of keywords (Okoro, 2023). The clustering technique enables highlighting gaps and key findings and keyword ranking to characterise the research directions and frontiers (Liu et al , 2018). Additionally, the distance-based approach indicated the nodes’ relatedness; the smaller the distance, the higher their relatedness (Van Eck and Waltman, 2014).…”

Purpose Technological change drives transformation in most sectors of the economy. Industry 4.0 technologies have been applied at different stages of a building’s lifecycle. However, limited studies exist on their application in real estate facilities management (REFM). This study aims to assess the existing knowledge on the topic to suggest further research directions. Design/methodology/approach Scopus-indexed literature from 2013 to 2023 was examined and visualised using VOSviewer software to output quantitative (descriptive) results. Content analysis was used to complement the quantitative findings. Findings Findings indicated a concentration of research in China, Norway and Italy. The knowledge areas included three clusters: lifecycle integration and management, data curation and management and organisational and management capabilities. The benefits, challenges and support strategies were highlighted. Research limitations/implications More collaboration is needed across countries and territories on technology integration in REFM. Future research using alternative methodologies is recommended, with a focus on adopting and non-adopting REFM organisations. Further, implications for facility managers, employees, technology suppliers or vendors, training, organisations and management exist. Practical implications Further, implications for facility managers, employees, technology suppliers or vendors, training, organisations and management exist. Originality/value The study reveals the knowledge base on technology use in REFM. It adds to the evidence base on innovation and technology adoption in REFM.

“…Different clusters helped identify groups of journals with shared intellectual interests and contributions by analyzing the frequency of their works being cited together by other publications of different journals. The Blue density area is the largest cluster, which shows out of 297 journals, the majority belong to the blue cluster, which showed that they have been frequently co-cited together and share thematic similarities in their research [53], and green's density area is the smallest, which shows the frequency of co-citation of journals was minimal. The figure shows "Journal of Cleaner Production" in the largest font which depicts that it has been co-cited the most (1,84,954 link strength) with other journals (296 links), followed by "Sustainability" with a co-citation frequency of 1,35,210 and links 296, and "Sustainable Development" with 53,262 co-citation frequencies and 296 links.…”

Sustainable Development Goals advocated by the United Nations in 2015 focus upon five major crucial areas of concern by 2030 i.e., people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. Through a bibliometric analysis, the present study intends to examine the trends, development, and prospects of the Sustainable Development Goals from 2016 to 2023. The study employed VOSviewer, MS Excel, and Biblioshiny (R Studio) to examine data collected from the Web of Science core collection database. In total, 2,814 title-based articles were analyzed and refined. Various methods were employed to identify the multidimensional contribution to the research of SDGs, including analysis of keywords, prolific authors, productive journals, active institutions and countries, and collaborations. The study identified significant clusters of SDG themes, such as environmental sustainability, education and attitude towards sustainability, and improvement in health quality and women's participation. The study also identified the top publications, prominent authors and journals, active institutions, research gaps, and nations contributing to this domain. The results show that high-income nations have a notably higher level of deliberation regarding SDG research. The results revealed significant implications, offering insightful information to stakeholders, researchers, and policymakers to prioritize future research endeavors and resource allocation to best achieve the 2030 SDGs.
