“…Previous studies have, for instance, explored co-citation networks (Rejeb et al , 2022; Sanguri et al , 2020). According to Li et al (2022), a co-citation network represents a knowledge network comprised of two publications simultaneously referenced in a third publication and it indicates the scientific foundation and development trend of a certain research field. Furthermore, co-citation networks are useful for evaluating the semantic similarity between publications or authors (Yang et al , 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure and dynamics of academic articles relating to public procurement (PP) in the period 1984–2022 (up to May). The researchers also intend to analyse how this knowledge domain has grown since 1984. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis was carried out to examine the existing state of PP research. Based on 640 journal articles indexed in the Scopus database and written by 1,247 authors over nearly four decades, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to reveal the intellectual structure of academic works pertaining to PP. Findings Findings reveal that PP research from Scopus has significantly increased in the past decade. Major journals publishing PP research are International Journal of Procurement Management, Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management and Public Money and Management. Results also indicate that authors’ cooperation network is fragmented, showing limited collaboration among PP researchers. In addition, results suggest that the institutional collaboration network in PP research mirrors what is commonly referred to as the North–South divide, signifying insufficient research collaboration between developed and developing countries’ institutions. According to the co-occurrence keyword network and topic modelling, PP revolves around five main themes, including innovation, corruption, sustainable and green PP, PP contracts and small and medium enterprises. Based on these results, several directions for future research are suggested. Social implications This paper provides an increased understanding of the entire PP field and the potential research directions. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first-ever application of bibliometric techniques and topic modelling to examine the development of PP research since 1984 based on scholarly publications extracted from the Scopus database.

“…limited to publications from 2010 to 2022 resulted in a total of 10,000 documents from the CAS Content Collection. Though the retrieval of documents was larger than that of previous bibliometric studies [22][23][24] , the decision was made to broaden the search formula to include microfibers and nanoplastics, to focus on sustainability, environment and health, and to exclude results containing specific words that caused false positives.…”

The growing usage of plastics in their various forms and applications has resulted in an exponential increase and spread of microplastics throughout the environment. We present a review based on a comprehensive analysis of the CAS content collection on the awareness of the underlying detrimental effects of several types of microplastics. The sources of this microplastic pollution are derived from its direct production or the degradation of macroplastics and include items such as personal care products, synthetic textile fibers, and rubber tires. The most frequent polymers observed in microplastic pollution are polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyvinyl chloride. These plastics are frequently mixed or combined with chemical additives such as phthalate and polybrominated biphenyls and are prevalent throughout the atmosphere, water, and in food. When these plastic pollutants are ingested or inhaled, adverse health effects are likely to result. This review reports the current scientific literature on microplastics and aims to analyze the current knowledge regarding their toxicology and potential solutions for the management and remediation of this type of plastic pollution.

“…1,14 Bibliometrics is an interdisciplinary subject that uses mathematical and statistical methods to study the distribution structure, quantitative relationship, change law and quantitative management of document information, and then discusses some structures, characteristics and laws of science and technology. 15 It is a comprehensive knowledge system that integrates mathematics, statistics and philology and focuses on quantification. In particular, the application of information visualization technology means and methods can intuitively display the research development process, research status, research hotspot and development trend of the subject.…”

Background Acupuncture therapy is a unique technology created by the working people in ancient China. It is popular all over the world for its safety, effectiveness and no side effects, especially for the treatment of pain syndrome, it can often have an immediate effect. Tension-type headache is one of them. At present, many literatures have reported that many countries in the world are using acupuncture to treat tension-type headache, but there is no quantitative analysis of the relevant literature on this field. Therefore, This study aims to evaluate the research hotspots and trends of acupuncture treatment of tension-type headache through a macro review of the literature from 2003 to 2022 by using CiteSpace V6.1.R6 (64-bit) Basic. Methods Relevant literatures on acupuncture treatment of tension-type headache from 2003 to 2022 were extracted from the web of science core collection database. CiteSpace was used to analyze the data of publications, authors, institutions, countries, keywords and cited references, cited authors, cited journals. Draw the cited network map and analyze the research hotspots and trends. Results A total of 231 publications were retrieved from 2003 to 2022. In the past 20 years, the annual number of publications has shown an overall growth trend, and the most active journals, countries, institutions, authors, cite references and keywords in the field of acupuncture treatment of tension-type headache were identified. Conclusion This study provides the status and trends of clinical research in the field of acupuncture therapy for tension-type headache in the past 20 years, which will help researchers understand the research hotspots in this field and provide new directions for further research.
