“…Web of Science Core Collection is widely used as a basic data source in bibliometric analysis and research evaluation (Li et al, 2018 ; Zhu & Liu, 2020 ). At the same time, many scholars have begun to raise concerns about bibliometric analysis and the appropriate use of databases (González-Alcaide, 2021 ; Hicks et al, 2015 ; Liu, 2019 , 2021 ; Liu et al, 2020 ). For de Gouveia and Inglesi-Lotz ( 2021 ), we suggest the authors details the search strategy to retrieve climate change-related literature.…”

Climate change and global warming have attracted more and more attention from countries all over the world. A recent study published in Scientometrics has evaluated the changing dynamics of climate change-related research publications via a bibliometric analysis and further probed the relationship between climate change-related research output and carbon dioxide emissions. We try to re-evaluate the bibliometric analysis section of the mentioned study and provide three improvement suggestions related to data source, search field and search query respectively. Besides, some new explanations have also been offered for the abnormal increase of research outputs indexed by Web of Science Core Collection in specific years such as 1991. These suggestions and explanations will provide important references for future various bibliometric analyses and research evaluation.

“…Bibliometrics is a field of information and library sciences that studies the bibliographic data of an extracted review corpus using statistical methods (González-Alcaide, 2021; Pech and Delgado, 2021; Wang et al , 2021), and the evaluation outcome using available bibliometric software is either a tabular synthesis or graphical representation of a review corpus to demonstrate the evolution of a research field of interest (Varma et al , 2021; Yan and Li, 2020). The use of bibliometric analysis in the subject domains of business management and social science is becoming more prevalent, with most published work of this sort including analysis of coverage patterns, extensive introspection and impartial findings (Baker et al , 2021; Lim et al , 2022c; Sigala et al , 2021).…”

Purpose The Journal of Product and Brand Management (JPBM) has a 30-year long history. To commemorate the journal’s 30th anniversary, this research paper aims to present a retrospective overview of JPBM. Design/methodology/approach This research examines the performance of the research constituents, social structure and intellectual structure of scholarly publications produced by JPBM between 1992 and 2021 using bibliometric analysis. Findings This research sheds light on the growing influence of JPBM through four major knowledge clusters (themes): strategic brand management; consumer behavior; product development and innovation management; and brand engagement. A temporal analysis of decade-by-decade cataloguing of the JPBM corpus revealed another set of three distinct knowledge clusters (themes): retailing and pricing strategies; marketing communications; and relationship marketing. Research limitations/implications Though the state-of-the-art overview herein offers seminal and useful insights about product and brand management research curated by JPBM, which can be used by the editorial board and prospective authors to curate and position the novelty of future contributions, it remains limited to the accuracy and availability of bibliographic records acquired from Scopus. Originality/value This research advances the internal review and subjective evaluation of the evolution of brand management thinking in JPBM by Veloutsou and Guzmán (2017) with an objective retrospection on the performance and scientific evolution of product and brand management research in JPBM.

“…Bibliometrics and visual analysis can effectively support information integration to improve the understanding of research activities [ 21 ]. Over the recent years, bibliometric indicators are increasingly used to evaluate and manage research activities [ 22 ]. Bibliometrics is a method of quantifying the research object, which is often used to determine the law of literature.…”

In the pathogenesis of melanoma, NF-κB is a key signaling pathway. Appling bibliometric analysis, we identify the frontiers and hotspots about NF-κB in melanoma, as well as distinguishing features of scientific research and output all over the world during the past 22 years. 2226 publications published from 2000 to 2021 and related information were retrieved based on Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-expanded) of Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). VOSviewer and Citespace were used to analyze bibliometric indicators and visualize the hotspots and research trend of studies on NF-κB in melanoma. The results indicated that despite fluctuations, the number of publications (Np) related to the research of NF-κB in melanoma per year increased over the past 22 years. The USA had the most publications. H-index and the number of citations (Nc) of the USA were also in the first place. PloS One was the most productive journal, and League of European Research Universities (LERU) was the most productive affiliation. Recently, the keywords “NF-kappa-b,” “melanoma,” “apoptosis,” “expression,” “activation,” “cancer,” and “metastasis” appeared most frequently. Our study suggested that articles associated with NF-κB in melanoma tend to increase. In this field, the USA was an influential country and a big producer. Most publications focused on clinical and basic research in the past 22 years, and keywords “tumor necrosis factor” and “trail induced apoptosis” had the highest burst strength.
