Research Hotspots and Development Trends of Reablement From 1999 to 2025: A Bibliometric Analysis

A bibliometric investigation of research trends in environmental, social, and governance research using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny

This study analyses the development, conceptual foundations, and emerging directions of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) research, with particular emphasis on its contribution to business sustainability and financial performance. It aims to map the dominant research themes in the ESG literature, examine the contributions of prominent authors, institutions, journals, and countries, and identify promising avenues for future research. The study adopts a quantitative bibliometric approach based on secondary data drawn from the Scopus database. A structured screening procedure was applied to peer reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and review papers published in English between 2015 and 2025 that explicitly addressed ESG concepts, yielding a final sample of 2,878 publications from 607 journals. Bibliometric indicators, including authorship patterns, citation structures, institutional and country contributions, journal sources, and keyword co occurrences, were examined using VOSviewer and R Studio (Biblioshiny). The findings indicate significant expansion and diversification of ESG research over the study period, organised around six core thematic clusters: sustainable development, business values, corporate social responsibility, ESG disclosure, ESG investment, and corporate strategy. The study identifies the most influential contributors and sources shaping ESG scholarship and points to growing research opportunities in the strategic and financial integration of ESG factors.

Bibliometric Analysis of the B Corp Movement: Implications for Researchers in Türkiye

This study aims to map the intellectual and conceptual landscape of the B Corp movement within the scientific literature through a quantitative bibliometric analysis. Utilising the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database, the research analyses 108 peer-reviewed articles published between 2007 and 2025. Data visualisation and network analysis, including co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence, were performed using the VOSviewer software. The results show that the number of publications has been growing exponentially since 2011, and the majority of the articles are in the business and management field. A total of 282 keywords were evaluated, and “B Corp” (total link strength: 315) and “Corporate Social Responsibility” (total link strength: 92) were identified as central conceptual pillars. The most cited influential work is by Julie Battilana and Alnoor Ebrahim, with 728 citations. Geographic concentration is still strong in the USA and Europe, but research on emerging economies, such as Türkiye, where there are presently 15 certified B Corps, is critically lacking. The results show a conceptual move from general corporate responsibility to specific issues of 'social impact' and 'employee ownership'. The paper concludes with a research agenda for future research that can help bridge the gap between global norms and local institutional contexts, particularly for researchers in Türkiye.

Global research trends on grief intervention: A bibliometric and visualized analysis (2016–2025)

Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on grief interventions that was published between 2016 and 2025. Utilizing CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, the study examined the scientific collaboration networks, knowledge structures, and their evolutionary trends within this field. Methods: The literature data were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Two datasets were constructed: a broad dataset (Query A, 1,833 articles) and a core dataset (Query B, 241 articles). These datasets were constructed using complementary search strategies. This study employed the CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to conduct systematic analyses across a range of dimensions, including authors, countries/regions, institutions, journals, co-cited references, and keywords. Results: The analysis of publication output indicated a consistent increase throughout the observation period, with the broad dataset (Query A) reaching a peak of 294 papers in 2025. Within the core dataset (Query B), Kersting, Anette, emerged as the most prolific author, with eight publications. At the national level, the USA demonstrated the highest publication volume in both datasets and the highest betweenness centrality in Query A (0.21); in Query B, Switzerland exhibited the highest centrality (0.29). Preliminary institutional analysis identified two institutions as the primary contributors: University of London (Query A) and Leipzig University (Query B). A thorough analysis of the journal's content suggested that Omega - Journal of Death and Dying and Death Studies function as pivotal sources of knowledge within the field. The application of co-citation analysis yielded the identification of core knowledge foundations, including prolonged grief disorder and digital health interventions. A subsequent analysis of keywords identified numerous research clusters centered on themes such as prolonged grief, perinatal loss, and bereavement due to suicide, indicating a shift in focus from disease-oriented approaches toward a more expansive humanistic care model. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that grief intervention research has developed a relatively systematic knowledge framework, characterized by extensive international collaboration and diverse, continuously evolving research priorities. Future research should further investigate specific intervention mechanisms and strengthen interdisciplinary, multi-contextual studies. Consequently, content-level systematic reviews will be necessary to translate bibliometric findings into clinical guidance.

Scientific Journey and Global Collaboration in Economic Sustainability: Bibliometric Analysis 1990–2025

Research on economic sustainability has developed rapidly in the last two decades, reflecting global attention to the sustainability of economic development. This study aims to map the landscape of economic sustainability research through bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database in the 1990–2025 period. The analysis includes publication trends, journal sources, most productive writers and institutions, collaboration between countries, and the most commonly used keywords. Economic Sustainability is a keyword used in the title of the article to get metadata taken from the Bibliography Database of Scopus, on Friday, May 9, 2025, 11:40 AM. To develop the analysis, Bibliomagika® is used to conduct frequency analysis and for data visualization. The results showed significant growth in publications since 2019, with the dominance of research from developed countries, especially Italy, the United States, China, and the United Kingdom. In addition, a cluster of the main research themes was found, such as sustainable development, climate change, and circular economy. This finding is expected to provide important insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to understand the development of science and identify the potential for collaboration and the direction of future research.

Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Activity on Stroke Mortality: 1961–2024

Abstract Introduction This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global stroke mortality research, by assessing publication trends, top authors, institutions, countries, and thematic analysis of keywords. Methods We performed a bibliometric analysis using Web of Science data retrieved on December 21, 2024, based on title searches for “Stroke mortality,” “CVA mortality,” “Cerebral infarction mortality,” and “Cerebrovascular accident mortality.” We generated descriptive statistics, investigated publication and citation trends, and performed advanced mappings for keyword frequency and thematic evolution. Results Of 2,261 stroke mortality documents from 636 journals (1961–2024), the annual growth was 1.73%. Each document averaged 37.7 citations, with 46,494 total references. This study included 14,456 authors (48 single‐authored) and averaged 8.89 coauthors per document; 21.32% involved international collaboration. Publication output increased markedly post‐2000, peaking with 1,171 studies in 2017–2024. Stroke (246 articles) was the most productive journal followed by Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases (137); the USA (2,975 articles) and China (2,536) dominated global output. Wang Y led as the most prolific author (77 articles), and Capital Medical University in China produced the highest number of publications (143). Collaboration networks featured strong multinational clusters led by the USA, China, and key European nations. Conclusion This bibliometric analysis showed a steady but modest research growth, with the USA and China leading in output and citation. Thematic shifts revealed movement from clinical risk factors to public health and biological predictors. While strong international collaborations exist, regional partnerships remain limited in areas like Africa and Latin America.
