“…This study indicated that Lotka's generalized inverse square law using "full productivity" of authorship is not applicable to virtual worlds literature of SSCI. Since virtual worlds are still in the early stages of development (Hua and Haughton, 2009), future research should be directed towards understanding authorship distributions within various sub-fields of virtual worlds, authorship patterns in monographs and other publication types, collaborative authorship, author affiliation, oriental name headings, etc.…”

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the internet has provided a much more dynamic platform, becoming more visual and allowing users to interact with each other in communities and share information in real time. The new Internet is a social media, and online communities are taking on a new dimension, quite literally, in the form of immersive 3D virtual worlds, such as such as Active Worlds, OSGrid, and Second Life. Surprisingly, 80% of active internet users have a registered account in virtual worlds which are playing an increasingly important role in the lives of many adults, teens, and children. Indeed, virtual worlds are believed to have implications that go beyond how we play, to also include how we buy, work, and learn. In recent years there has been increased behavioral research in virtual reality and virtual worlds. As a result, the subject of virtual world has become a major research area in recent years. To shed light on virtual worlds' trends, and contributions, a historical review and Bibliometric analysis are included in this research. The Bibliometric analytical technique was used to examine this topic in SSCI journals from 1991 through 2011. Also, the study investigated whether author productivity conformed to Lotka's Law, to understand author distributions within the field of virtual worlds and to elucidate the distributions of the core authors.

“…Privacy, safety, and security are vital aspects of online transactions. Security can be regarded as a company's capability to prevent clients' personal information and transaction information from being stolen during online transactions [34]. Customers may perceive certain risks if they are at risk of suffering a potential loss due to the misuse of their personal information [35].…”

“…Customers may perceive certain risks if they are at risk of suffering a potential loss due to the misuse of their personal information [35]. Some studies have indicated that security may be more influential in terms of online purchase behaviors than factors pertaining to perceived ease of use or perceived usefulness [34,36]. Along with the frequent use of mobile devices and wireless applications, customers may perceive risks if there is a high possibility of loss caused by the disclosure of personal information and security issues [16].…”

Emerging technologies have made tremendous changes in people’s daily lives, and they have profoundly influenced their economic and consumption activities. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has also drastically increased individuals’ usage of contactless payment technologies, such as mobile and facial recognition payments, which has accelerated the transformation of digital transaction services in China. In this study, the findings show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and service security can affect the perceived value and user satisfaction of using contactless payment. Moreover, a higher perceived value and satisfaction level may encourage more post-adoption behaviors, such as continuous and habitual usage of contactless payment methods or encouraging others to use contactless payment methods via word-of-mouth; however, perceived value did not have a direct effect on continuous usage. In addition, there are certain differences in user behavior depending on whether facial recognition payment or mobile QR-code payment is used. For QR-code payment users, overall, their satisfaction and post-adoption behaviors are more strongly bonded with each other compared with the behaviors of facial recognition payment users. This study has generated more information and insight into the transformation of digital payment and can help managers align their strategies more efficiently in the post-pandemic era.
