Evinced E-Learning published research in scopus database from 2007–2016: The scientometric study

The Co-Authorship and Subject Areas Network in MOOCS’ Scientific Production in Web of Science

“…In fact, by specializing in science, it is impossible for authors to be satisfactory specialized in all areas. Literature related to scientometrics in e-learning also indicates that authors tend to connect with 1 or 2 authors, which is not in concurrence with the nature of multidisciplinary disciplines; even though it is assumed that in any field of science, there must be a wide co-authorship network with numerus connections (Gupta & Chohda, 2018;Tibana-Herrera et al, 2018). Indeed, scientific collaboration is introduced as one element for developing a field of science.…”

“…The network structures shows a variety of fascinating features of scientific societies (Wang, Wu, Pan, Ma, & Rousseau, 2005) in which the indicators of social network analysis are used. There are various studies that use this method in analyzing co-authorship in different subject areas such as e-Learning in scopus database (Gupta & Chohda, 2018), e-learning scientific domain (Tibana-Herrera, Fernandez-Bajon, & de Moya-Anegon, 2018), collaboration rate of authors in e-Learning (Mohammadi, Asadzandi, & Malgard, 2017), Zoology (Vimala & Reddy, 2017), journals' level (Santos & Santos, 2016), Korea and China co-authorship (Park, Yoon, & Leydesdorff, 2016), Consumer Behavior Scholars (Neil Bendle, 2016, human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and Human papillomavirus (HPV) areas (Vanni et al, 2014), Evidence based Medicine (Shen et al, 2011), History andPhilosophy (Osca-Lluch, Velasco, Lopez, &Haba, 2009) and Bioinformatics (Malin & Carley, 2007).…”
