“…The difference in the citation count among different bibliometrics databases is typical, with Google Scholar more likely to record higher citations, compared to WoS (webofknowledge.com). Google Scholar seems to capture all publications irrespective of the quality (Meho and Rogers, 2008; Lin et al., 2013; Akpan 2020).…”

“…Figure 7 presents the number of documents that make zero, 1–10; 11–100, and 100+ citations (1132: 29%; 1953: 50.02%; 775: 19.85%; 44: 1.13%). The most recent published papers received the least citations because of fewer citable years, although earning citations depends on a combination of several complex factors other than just the citable years (Akpan 2020).…”

“…The use of information visualization techniques enhances a clear and intuitive understanding of country collaborations by a wider audience and provides deeper insights into the results (Akpan and Brooks, 2012; Akpan et al., 2019; Uyar et al., 2020). Several recent studies utilize network analysis to evaluate the global impacts of scholarly productivity (Cobo et al., 2011; de Bem Oliveira et al., 2019; Akpan, 2020). Also, network analysis offers "unprecedented insights" into the research aggregates and impacts (Aria and Cuccurullo, 2017; Akpan, 2020).…”

This study employs Google trends and data from the web of science to evaluate the popularity, growth, and impacts of visual analytics (VA) as a research field and data science technique. The paper undertakes quantitative analyses and visualization of the temporal trends, from VA's emergence in 2000 to the end of 2019. The trend analysis helps to forecast future growth in the research and practice of VA. The study highlights four outcomes. First, there is a robust direct relationship among the variables, including VA's growth on the Google trends, the scientific literature production (SLP), and usage of the published documents. Second, the SLP's growth pattern highlights VA's popularity as an emerging field with an overall annual increase of 17.4%. The high citation counts of the published scholarship indicate a significant impact and a continuous growth of the VA field. Third, VA contributes to diverse disciplines other than computer science and information systems, from business and economics to engineering, healthcare, biomedical and chemical sciences, and arts and humanities. VA helps researchers and practitioners in multidisciplinary fields analyze multidimensional data, enhance data visualization, knowledge discovery, generating insights, and make informed decisions. On the reverse, other disciplines contribute to propelling VA's popularity through research productivity, usage, and citation impacts. Finally, a trend analysis predicts sustained future growth of VA technology in research and practice to dissect and sensemaking of the increasingly massive and complex data structures, which is now the norm in many fields.

The adoption of cutting-edge technologies to steer business activities during community lockdown to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, even if involuntarily, provides evidence that technologies not only offer competitive advantages but also provides a means for survival, by improvising existing business models. In June 2019, we issued a call for papers to address the awareness, adoption, and implementation challenges of technologies that can drive businesses of all sizes in the fourth industrial revolution. We intended to identify as critical elements the "must-have" and a "nice to have" technologies for small businesses and innovation. Then the ongoing COVID-19 global health pandemic struck in December 2019, forcing the need for digitization of business activities and remote operations, which was
