Visualizing the Knowledge Domain in Health Education: A Scientometric Analysis Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to visualize the evidence in the global research on health education to better improve the nation’s health literacy and to guide future research. Method: We searched the Web of Science (Core Collection) electronic databases. The search strategies: topic: (“Health Education” OR “Education, Health” OR “Community Health Education” OR “Education, Community Health” OR “Health Education, Community”) AND document: (Article) AND language:(English). Articles of evidence from January 2011 to December 2021 with those words in the title or abstract or keywords will be included in this review. We used the Citespace 5.6.R5 (64-bit) to investigate and determine the thematic patterns, and emerging trends of the knowledge domain, and presented a narrative account of the findings. Result: We analyzed 10,273 eligible articles. It showed that BMC Public Health displays the most prolific journals. Author MARCO PAHOR is highlighted in health education. The University of Sydney has published the most studies about health education. The USA plays an important role in these studies. Specifically, the visualization shows several hotspots: disease prevalence surveys and a specific population of knowledge, attitude and practice surveys, health intervention, chronic and non-communicable management, youth-health action, sexual and reproductive health, and physical activity promotion. Furthermore, document co-citation analysis indicated that there are 10 main clusters, which means the research front in health education. Meanwhile, by the citation detected, COVID-19, has achieved universal health coverage in related studies, however, public health education and the health workforce might be more popular in the coming years. Conclusion: Health education is an effective measure to shift the concept of public health and improve healthy living standards. The present study facilitates an extensive understanding of the basic knowledge and research frontiers that are pivotal for the developmental process of health education and allows scholars to visualize the identification modes and tendencies.

A Scientometric Review of Grain Storage Technology in the Past 15 Years (2007–2022) Based on Knowledge Graph and Visualization

“…It shows that these three journals ranked top in citation frequency which are important windows to explore the research progress and development trend in this field. Centrality is a measure of the importance of nodes in the network by which the importance of journals is found and measured [ 27 ]. Journal of Cereal Science , PloS One , and Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry are the top three journals in terms of centrality.…”

“…The analysis of posting authors and their collaborative networks can identify the main research teams in a research field, present the collaborative relationships between different researchers, and clarify the core figures in the field [ 27 ]. Based on the CiteSpace visualization tool, the network cooperation analysis was performed by clicking the “Author” function in CiteSpace, and the lines between the nodes represented the cooperation status among the cited authors in the same literature.…”

“…CiteSpace‘s cooperation analysis of keywords and nomenclature in the literature provides access to the hotspots of grain storage technology research [ 27 ]. The keyword cooperation analysis was performed by selecting the “Keyword” function item to obtain a cooperation map of high-frequency keywords and terms, as shown in Figure 6 , containing 491 nodes and 3811 connections.…”

“…In this paper, the Kleinberg burst detection algorithm was used to detect burst words in the literature space and identify several terms that represent the frontiers of research [ 27 ]. The node type was set to “Keyword” and “Timezone”, and the top 30 emergent words were arranged in ascending order of their emergence time together with the keyword time zone map, as shown in Figure 7 .…”

The effectiveness of health promotion using social media on adolescent knowledge about Covid-19 in the work area of Health Center Batu Panjang, Rupat District, Bengkalis Regency

“…Health promotion using social media is more effective increase knowledge about covid-19 compared to Health Promotion by using the official website from the government among adolescents 5.6 (Chen et al, 2022). Health Promotion in adolescents using social media is more effective because millennials use social media more than accessing government websites online (Wong et al, 2014).…”
