A great amount of negative influence on human existence and environmental protection has been brought on by heavy metal pollution in agriculture soil. Thus, major awareness has been diverted to the evaluation of heavy metals (EHM) in agricultural land, which is used to improve the environment and ensure people’s health. Based on 3759 publications collected from the Web of Science Core CollectionTM (WoS), this paper’s aim is to illustrate a comprehensive bibliometric run-through and visualization of the subject of EHM. Contingent on influential authors, top institutions, keywords are discussed in detail. Afterwards, the ruling publications and focal assemblage of EHM and leading publications are analyzed to discover the main research topics, according to citation analysis and reference co-citation analysis. The main motive of the paper is to assist research workers interested in the area of EHM determine the ongoing potential research opportunities and hotspots.

The present study used bibliometric methods to analyze the literature regarding the biochar effects on soil that are included in the Web of Science Core Collection database and quantified the annual number of publications in the field and distribution of publications. Using CiteSpace as a visual analytic software for the literature, the distribution of the subject categories, author collaborations, institution collaborations, international (regional) collaborations, and cocitation and keyword clustering were analyzed. The results showed the basic characteristics of the literature related to the effects of biochar on soil. Furthermore, the main research powers in this field were identified. Then, we recognized the main intellectual base in the domain of biochar effects on soil. Meanwhile, this paper revealed the research hotspots and trends of this field. Furthermore, focuses of future research in this field are discussed. The present study quantitatively and objectively describes the research status and trends of biochar effects on soil from the bibliometric perspective to promote in-depth research in this field and provide reference information for scholars in the relevant fields to refine their research directions, address specific scientific issues, and help scholars to seek/establish relevant collaborations in their fields of interests.

Vegetable sprouts are a food source that presents high content of bioactive compounds which can also be enhanced through elicitation mechanisms. To better understand the scientific production and research trends on this topic, a bibliometric analysis by means of the Web of Science database was carried out. The results showed significant growth in research on the elicitation of edible plants sprouts. The three most productive journals were the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, followed by Food Chemistry and LWT-Food Science and Technology. The co-occurrence of keyword analysis of the different authors showed that the main research topics in this domain were ‘germination’, ‘antioxidant activity’, ‘sprouts’, ‘glucosinolates’ and ‘phenolics‘. The countries with the highest number of scientific publications were China, followed by India and USA. The productivity patterns of the authors conformed to Lotka’s law. This study provides an overview of research on elicitation to enrich bioactive compounds in sprouts, and the need to review and update the trends on this subject.

Web 2.0 provides richer user experiences by allowing online collaboration and sharing among users. We gleaned from science citation index expanded (SCI-EXPANED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database on web of science, concerning advances in collaboration research in Web 2.0. The result indicates that the number of citation literature on this topic mainly distributes in recent 7 years, reaching climax of 4 in 2012. The main research territory is China, accounting for 22.222%. Accordingly the organization is city univ Hong Kong. And from the analysis of research area, research on information science library and computer science account for more than 50%. Overall, the related research topics can be classified into Web 2.0 in education, Web 2.0 in research, collaborative product development, climate reconstruction, public value in E-Government.

Until now, learning is still focused on thecognitive realm only. One aspect that is often neglected issocial attitudes, which are part of the affective aspect thathas an essential role in social life. The limited number ofresearchers who touch on this area makes referencesources of social attitudes still limited. This study is aSystematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMAmodel. This model is considered a reasonablycomprehensive model because it has four main stages:identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion.Researchers collected data from various open access datasources such as Google Scholar, Web of Science (WoS),Scopus, ERIC, Researchgate.net, Academia.com, andSciencedirect.com. Furthermore, the data were analyzedusing content analysis techniques in obtaining anoverview of trends and implications of research oneducation and learning social attitudes over the past tenyears. The results showed that there were only 14 articlesthat met the criteria for further analysis. The fourteenarticles discuss several main research topics, such as (1)improving students' social attitudes through learningmodels/approaches/methods, (2) learning social attitudesin the context of inclusive education, (3) developing andvalidating social attitude instruments, and so on other.These findings indicate the need for further and morecomprehensive research on learning social attitudes sothat this aspect is increasingly understood by variouselements of education as an aspect that is as important asthe cognitive aspect.

ABSTRACT The Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting (JETA), an American Accounting Association journal, reached its ten-year milestone in 2013. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric and comparative analysis of the 66 main research articles and citations of the contributions, which were published from 2004 to 2013. The analysis of the characteristics of the articles comprises the research methodologies and accounting areas as used in the Brigham Young University Accounting Research Rankings, novel classifications based on an expansion of the Brown and Vasarhelyi (1994) accounting research taxonomy, and the AACSB A7 data terms, artificial intelligence, contributing authors, and institutions. The citation analysis reports and compares scholarly and patent results. Some major differences between the citations in Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus came to light.

This paper examines the evolution of research in Entrepreneurship published in Web of Science, a reference database. A bibliometric content analysis has been carried out as part of this investigation, allowing for a longitudinal study of the main research topics dealt with over time, ranging from classic topics such as its conception to more recent realities that include Social and Sustainable Entrepreneurship. This paper locates research trends by studying the evolution of citations and by incorporating use metrics. The results point to the existence of seven cognitive fronts that have marked the field’s growth and conceptual evolution. Furthermore, evidence is presented that shows how innovation has historically been the thread that links all the core themes. The topics and trends detected contribute specially to advancing the current discussion on entrepreneurship and coordinating future research efforts.

This paper has retrieved 979 literatures in the field of visualization of cultural heritage information between 2000 and 2020 from Web Of Science core collection. With the keys words as the unit of analysis, cluster analysis and co-word analysis as the research methods and SciMAT as the tool, it has identified research highlights and evolution paths in different periods. The research has found that research topics vary a lot in different periods. Part of the thematic studies are strongly related in sequence, the evolutionary relations between topics gradually become complex in the middle and latter period, and 5 evolution paths are presented in general. System is the main research interests and will continue to be the research highlights. Museum becomes a fundamental topic with great potential in the field after continuous integration and regeneration. 3-D visualization, with the largest time span and various research contents, is the fundamental topic in the field.
