“…In line with the standard and established scientometric procedures [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], publications were downloaded from Scopus using the following search string TITLE-ABS-KEY (“prostate cancer” AND (“sleep” OR “insomnia”) AND (LIMIT-TO (LANGUAGE, “English”). The limitation of the search to English publications was used to allow for a more standardised and rigorous analysis of the work, as it will be built on the scientific literature on an international scale [ 24 ].…”

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United Kingdom. While androgen-deprivation therapy is the most common treatment for prostate cancer, patients undergoing this treatment typically experience side effects in terms of sleep disturbances. However, the relation between prostate cancer and sleep and the way in which sleep interventions may benefit oncological patients is underinvestigated in the literature. The current study aims to review in a data-driven approach the existing literature on the field of prostate cancer and sleep to identify impactful documents and major thematic domains. To do so, a sample of 1547 documents was downloaded from Scopus, and a document co-citation analysis was conducted on CiteSpace software. In the literature, 12 main research domains were identified as well as 26 impactful documents. Research domains were examined regarding the link between prostate cancer and sleep, by taking into account variations in hormonal levels. A major gap in the literature was identified in the lack of use of objective assessment of sleep quality in patients with prostate cancer.

“…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 ( Carollo et al, 2021a , b ; Lim and Aryadoust, 2021 ; Lim et al, 2023b ). In CiteSpace, DCA is created by modeling documents as single nodes and their co-citation as links.…”

IntroductionPeople represent the world in terms of two constructs: how something appears on the surface (appearance) and what it is underneath that surface (reality). Both constructs are central to various bodies of literature. What has not been done, however, is a systematic look at this collection of literature for overarching themes. Motivated by this research gap, the present scientometric review aimed to identify the common themes that penetrate through a century of scholarly work on appearance and reality. In doing so, this review also sketched a scientometric outline of the international network, pinpointing where the work was carried out.MethodsWith CiteSpace software, we computed an optimized document co-citation analysis with a sample of 4,771 documents (1929–2022), resulting in a network of 1,785 nodes.Results and discussionWe identified impactful publications, summarized major intellectual movements, and identified five thematic clusters (“Perception of Counseling Services”, “Appearance and Reality in Sociocultural Evolution,” “Cultural Heritage and Identity,” “Media and Culture,” and “Cultural Identity”), all with theoretical and pragmatic implications which we discuss. A deeper look at these clusters reveals new empirical questions and promising directions for future research.

“…Results presented in the main manuscript were obtained using the newest version of the software, while results obtained with the verison 6.1.R2 are presented in the Supplementary Materials. The same procedures as in previous studies from our team [24,27] were followed to download the articles. The downloaded articles from Scopus were imported into the software where there were 11,373 (97.36%) valid references out of a total of 11,681 references cited by the 302 articles (Figure 1).…”

The Japanese term hikikomori was first used to describe prolonged social withdrawal in the 1990s. Since then, research across the world have reported similar prolonged social withdrawal in many countries outside Japan. This study systematically analyses the evolution of literature on hikikomori in the past 20 years to gain a better understanding of the development of the knowledge base on hikikomori since it garnered attention in Japan. Findings from the scientometric review indicate many perspectives on the etiology of hikikomori including cultural, attachment, family systems and sociological approaches. However, similarities with modern type depression, a novel psychiatric syndrome, have been proposed and there are signs of a recent paradigm shift of hikikomori as a society-bound syndrome rather than a cultural-bound syndrome unique to Japan. As research into hikikomori continues to grow, results from the review also highlight the need for a more universally shared definition of hikikomori in order to better consolidate cross-cultural research for meaningful and valid cross-cultural comparisons which can help to promote evidence-based therapeutic interventions for hikikomori.
