“…Whereas research concerning the Covid-19 pandemic was boosted from 2020, qualitative empirical research was "seriously hampered" due to regulations and restrictions (Otto and Haase, 2022). With this in mind, the drop in article publications since 2020 perhaps indicates that marine social science research is often empirically grounded research and involves "being out there" in the field, pointing to what Bavinck and Verrips called "marine empiricism" (2020, p. 123).…”

Research about ocean-human relations has significantly increased in recent years. Compared to other disciplines in the oceanic realm, the marine social sciences, as an umbrella term for diverse disciplines and research streams dealing with ocean-human relations, however only recently gained more attention. In this light, the UN Ocean Decade stresses marine social science’s pivotal role in assessing future trajectories toward more sustainable ocean-human relations. Our study aims to identify research trends in sustainability-related marine social sciences. Therefore, we thoroughly analyzed the metadata of 1,215 peer-reviewed articles published between 1991 and 2023 and retrieved from the Web of Sciences (WoS) database by applying various bibliometric analysis methods. Our study provides insights into (1) the scientific production of sustainability-related marine social sciences and its evolution (2) the main topics and research streams of sustainability-related marine social sciences, and (3) how these topics developed over time. The findings demonstrate a significant increase in annual scientific production as time progressed, with some countries and institutions contributing more than others. We identified, discussed, and visualized six research streams: (1) Perceptions and benefits of marine conservation; (2) Fisheries, aquaculture, and food security; (3) Climate change and climate change responses; (4) Coastal landscape and land use change; (5) Coastal and marine management; and (6) Development and ocean-human health. Based on those discussions, our study points to four future avenues for research and discussions marine social sciences could potentially build on. These include (1) strengthening the capacity of sustainability-related marine social sciences; (2) enhancing cross-country studies and cooperation; (3) fostering dialogue between marine natural and social scientists; and (4) making (more) sense of sustainability-related marine social science’s epistemic features.

The present study attempted to determine the actuality of scientific research in educational sciences from the perspective of Saudi faculty after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19). The study also revealed the obstacles facing academic science research postpandemic. The study predicted the future of educational science research in Saudi universities postpandemic. The study employed a descriptive survey method on 255 educational science faculty members. The study’s most important outcome is that scientific research is a precondition for professor promotions. Universities (the focus of the study) have a scientific research system and faculty with research skills. The biggest problem for scientific research in educational sciences in Saudi universities during the pandemic was that faculty members were too busy with teaching and administrative tasks to focus on research. Both experts predicted the future of educational sciences research at Saudi universities postpandemic. The researchers recommend that universities offer the infrastructure to facilitate scientific research, minimize teaching loads and administrative work, and increase the relationship between “Research Centers” and “Deanships of Scientific Research.”

Mapping the research landscape of Covid-19 from social sciences perspective: a bibliometric analysis

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

COVID-19 has emerged as a widely researched topic and the academia has taken interest in the effects of COVID-19 in various sectors of human life and society. Most of the bibliometric research addresses scientific contributions in medicine, health, and virology related topics, with very little emphasis on social sciences. Therefore, to address this gap, a bibliometric analysis of research related to COVID-19 in the subject area of social sciences was performed on selected publications from January 2020 to mid-2021. A total of 9289 articles were analysed to identify major emerging themes of Covid-19 and social sciences and how research collaborations between countries have helped in communicating critical issues to academia. The empirical results indicate the dominance of psychology and business economics subjects in the social sciences sphere, with the emerging themes as psychosocial problems among people, economics, the outbreak of SARS, and discussions on the quality of life in terms of surroundings and environment. The study also suggests that more collaborations between social scientists working in different nations is required to explore the less focussed themes addressing the local challenges of poor nations.
