“…Scopus has been shown to have considerable overlap with WoS in many scientific areas; more than 90% (Mongeon and Paul‐Hus, 2016; Cascajares et al ., 2021). Therefore, it can be seen in the literature that it has been used for a large number of bibliometric studies in various areas such as engineering (Zapata‐Sierra et al ., 2021), medicine (Garrido‐Cardenas et al ., 2018a, 2018b; Salmerón‐Manzano et al ., 2020) or social sciences (Salmerón‐Manzano & Manzano‐Agugliaro, 2019; Muyor‐Rodriguez et al ., 2019). Most of the worldwide bibliometric works are based on one of these two databases; therefore, Scopus has been used to carry out this research.…”

Research on Neanderthals is a topic of growing interest and it may even be considered that this subject will get more attention in the future. The demise and diets of the various Neanderthal populations are controversial issues that promote heated debates. In this work, a bibliometric study of all the publications contained in the Scopus database until 2021 has been conducted, analysing more than 3800 of them. The main authors, institutions and countries researching this subject have been identified, and their future development. Furthermore, the links between the authors, the countries and the topics researched have been analysed through communities detection. The most frequent keyword on this topic is ‘fossil’. Three clearly focused research clusters in this area have been detected: those focused on molecular evolution, those focused on Neanderthal biology, and those focused on palaeoanthropology. Furthermore, it has been noted that the most central countries to the networks of collaboration are the United States, Spain, France and Germany. Research on Neanderthals is in its infancy and the appearance of new clusters is expected, such as those related to the diet and the demise of Neanderthals, considering the growing number of works recently developed on these topics.

“…There are two large scientific databases-Scopus, and WoS (Web of Science). Scopus has been proven to overlap in many scientific areas by a large percentage with WoS (Web of Science) [39,40], and has been successfully used for a large variety of bibliometric studies in specific areas such as medicine [41], social sciences [42] or engineering [43]. Therefore, Scopus has been used to conduct this research.…”

Photogrammetry as a New Scientific Tool in Archaeology: Worldwide Research Trends

et al. 2021

Archaeology has made significant advances in the last 20 years. This can be seen by the remarkable increase in specialised literature on all archaeology-related disciplines. These advances have made it a science with links to many other sciences, both in the field of experimental sciences and in the use of techniques from other disciplines such as engineering. Within this last issue it is important to highlight the great advance that the use of photogrammetry has brought for archaeology. In this research, through a systematic study with bibliometric techniques, the main institutions and countries that are carrying them out and the main interests of the scientific community in archaeology related to photogrammetry have been identified. The main increase in this field has been observed since 2010, especially the contribution of UAVs that have reduced the cost of photogrammetric flights for reduced areas. The main lines of research in photogrammetry applied to archaeology are close-range photogrammetry, aerial photogrammetry (UAV), cultural heritage, excavation, cameras, GPS, laser scan, and virtual reconstruction including 3D printing.

“…This narrative has shaped how researchers and policymakers approach the topic. For example, attention has been directed toward diagnostic tests to determine the age of minors who do not have birth records in order to prevent plausible abuses of the system (Salmero ´n-Manzano & Manzano-Agugliaro, 2019).…”

“…In this paper, we use the term unaccompanied youth to refer to immigrant youth of all ages and types of legal status. Many other terms are used to refer to this population in different contexts including “child,” “minor,” and “alien.” Our choice of this term reflects the reality that the majority are in their teens (Salmerón-Manzano & Manzano-Agugliaro, 2019) and therefore not “children,” whereas the term “minor” is a particular legal category that varies by nation and circumstance and does not apply uniformly to young people crossing multiple borders. Instead, the term “youth” describes the life stage between childhood and adulthood, which more accurately represents the developmental stage of these young people.…”

Migration of unaccompanied immigrant and refugee youth has increased around the world in the last decade, peaking in 2014 in the United States and in 2015 in Europe. Youth are pushed to migrate without parents or guardians to escape war, persecution, gang violence, and extreme poverty in their country of origin. Youth are vulnerable to violence and abuse at the hands of smugglers during their journeys but show great courage and strength as they embark on their journey to a better life. The goal of this literature review is to provide a synthesis of empirical literature concerning this population. Thirty-one studies were included: 13 used qualitative methods, 13 quantitative, four mixed methods, and one used participatory methods. This body of research documents the stages of youths' immigration journeys from the decision to leave, to the migration process, to arriving in the new country and the resettlement experience. The migration journey was the overarching model in this review, and it describes the youth's complete journey, which continues after resettlement. We describe the four stages in the migration process identified in the experience of unaccompanied youth and their journey in this review: making the decision to migrate the experience during migration; psychological distress and coping upon arrival; and adaptation, acculturation upon arrival in the resettlement country, and impact of social support and social networks in the resettlement country. We end by offering recommendations for future research and immigration policy based on what is known and not yet known about the experiences of these courageous young people. Public Policy Relevance StatementLittle is known about the migration experience of unaccompanied immigrant youth from an ecological and resilience perspective. This review documents the gaps in the current literature and the importance of accurate representation of unaccompanied immigrant youth to promote inclusive and culturally receptive policy about placement, services, and granting of permanent legal status. We highlight the importance of a strength and resilience-based focus to shift the deficit-based narrative that currently informs migration policy for unaccompanied immigrant youth. aaa M igration of unaccompanied youth, including refugees and asylum seekers, has increased around the world in the last decade, peaking in 2014 in the United States (U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 2021) and in 2015 in Europe (Lems et al., 2020; The United Nations High Commissioner forRefugees, 2020). UNHCR defines an unaccompanied child as "a person who is under the age of eighteen, unless, under the law applicable to the child, age of majority is attained earlier, and who is separated from both parents and is not being cared for by an adult who by law or custom has the responsibility to do so" (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 1997, para. 1). The large flow of unaccompanied youth continues. UNICEF (2019) reported that in 2018, 18,098 unaccompanied children applied for asylum across E...
