“…After the initial screening conducted by Scopus based on the keywords, the dataset was not further examined for relevance to psychodrama. This is so that the dataset will not be biased in a systematic way upon manual removal of articles deemed to be irrelevant, similar to the practice in Gaggero et al (33), Aryadoust and Tan Hah (42), and Lim and Aryadoust (43). Additionally, Chen (39) recommends to defer the screening for relevance to the analysis stage, for the similar reason that ambiguous terms may or may not be relevant to the search query.…”

Almost a century after Jacob Levy Moreno pioneered the group practice of psychodrama, research in this area has flourished to include different sub-fields of study and psychodramatic intervention for various psychological conditions. By making use of scientometric analysis, particularly document citation analysis and keyword analysis, this study maps out dominant research domains in psychodrama since its inception. From these findings, projections of future research trends and an evaluation of psychodrama research are discussed. Generally, there has been an increased adoption of technology to facilitate psychodrama practice, along with an increasing integration of psychodramatic principles with other psychotherapies. To improve research in this area, this paper recommends greater transparency in the reporting of materials, processes and data used in publications. Finally, we encourage embracing new technological methods such as neuroimaging to provide greater insight into mechanisms of change in psychodrama. The field of psychodrama remains full of potential and innovations to be developed.

“…Overall, the modularity Q index ranges from 0 to 1, and the mean silhouette ranges from −1 to 1. Higher modularity Q index indicates higher reliability, and a higher mean silhouette indicates better homogeneity and vice versa (Lim & Aryadoust, 2021). In the current study, the modularity Q index and the weighted mean silhouette metric for the DCA network were 0.4842 and 0.7743, respectively, indicating a highly acceptable level of reliability and homogeneity for the network.…”

As an important construct in the field of second language teaching and assessment, syntactic complexity is closely related to the language proficiency and language development process of L2 learners. Using the visualization software of CiteSpace, this study conducts an in-depth scientometric analysis of 140 articles on written syntactic complexity published over the past 10 years (2010-2022), thus uncovering the current development and challenges faced by relevant studies. Specifically, a frequency analysis was firstly administrated to describe the overall development in written syntactic complexity research. Furthermore, the current study conducted a Document Co-Citation Analysis (DCA), which enables researchers to conduct a network of co-cited references to identify the underlying research hotpots and future trends. The results indicate that the study concerning automatic essay scoring is the most prominent cluster active from 2010 to 2021. In addition, Norris & Ortega (2009) is the most cited paper, followed by Ortega (2003) and Biber et al. (2011). Meanwhile, the bursts of detected papers demonstrate that McNamara et al. (2012) and Grant & Ginther (2000) generated the strongest citation burst with a burst strength of 3.14 and 3.09, respectively. The findings of the study would have implications for subsequent research on written syntactic complexity in the field of language teaching and language learning.

“…Thus, the resulting network depends on both the citing papers (the ones directly downloaded from Scopus) and the documents cited by them (identified when importing data into CiteSpace) (Chen, 2014;Aryadoust et al, 2021). This type of analysis is grounded on the assumption that clusters of papers frequently cited together represent thematic trends of research in the specific scientific domain of interest (Lim and Aryadoust, 2021;Carollo, Bonassi, Lim, Gabrieli, Setoh, Dimitriou, Aryadoust and Esposito, 2021). A DCA's network is generated by choosing the node selection criterion of interest and setting its scale factor.…”

The world can be represented by two layers of information: how it appears on the outside (appearance) and what it is on the inside (reality). The relationship between appearance and reality has been conceptualised as the convergence and divergence theories of appearance, which posits that appearance is a reliable (convergence) or unreliable (divergence) representation of reality. The current scientometric review examines the literature on culture and the assumptions about appearance and reality. A sample of 4,164 documents was examined with CiteSpace software. An optimised Document Co-Citation Analysis was computed and a network consisting of 3,116 nodes was obtained. Impactful publications were identified and major thematic developments were discussed. Five major clusters were identified, labelled as ‘Cultural Identity’, ‘Social Politics’, ‘Social Constructionism’, ‘Heritage & Memory’, and ‘Contemporary Society’. People's assumptions about appearance and reality emerged to be relevant to the historical and contemporary worlds, with implications from social politics, cultural identity, to how people make sense of their past, present, and future. These implications suggest that the relationship between appearance and reality is more than a philosophical inquiry. Integrating the literature on appearance and reality with cultural psychology work reveals new empirical questions and promising directions for future research. philosophical inquiry.
