Anthocyanins: Biosynthesis, Distribution, Ecological Role, and Use of Biostimulants to Increase Their Content in Plant Foods—A Review
2021
In the past century, plant biostimulants have been increasingly used in agriculture as innovative and sustainable practice. Plant biostimulants have been mainly investigated as potential agents able to mitigate abiotic stress. However, few information is available about their ability to influence fruit quality or change fruit phytochemical composition. In particular, very little is known about their effects on anthocyanin synthesis and accumulation. Due to the increasing demand of consumers for healthier foods with high nutraceutical values, this review tries to fill the gap between anthocyanin content and biostimulant application. Here, we elucidate the chemical structure, biosynthetic pat…
Essential oils and their applications in agriculture and agricultural products: a literature analysis through VOSviewer.
2022
In agriculture, more attention has been paid to limit the amount of chemical plant protection products. A potential alternative solution has been found in essential oils (EOs), which appear as promising candidates for their properties (safe, bioactive, biodegradable products) in managing plant diseases in agriculture. Therefore, a co-occurrence analysis was carried out on the available literature on Scopus database, through network maps created by VOSviewer software in order to identify the EOs used in agriculture, agricultural products and their target application. USA and India appeared as the most productive countries in terms of documents and citations followed by Iran and Italy. The co…
Facility layout problem: Bibliometric and benchmarking analysis
2019
Facility layout problem is related to the location of departments in a facility area, with the aim of determining the most effective configuration. Researches based on different approaches have been published in the last six decades and, to prove the effectiveness of the results obtained, several instances have been developed. This paper presents a general overview on the extant literature on facility layout problems in order to identify the main research trends and propose future research questions. Firstly, in order to give the reader an overview of the literature, a bibliometric analysis is presented. Then, a clusterization of the papers referred to the main instances reported in literat…
Beyond the “ivory tower”. Comparing academic and non-academic knowledge on social entrepreneurship
2021
The increasing relevance of societal challenges has recently brought social entrepreneurship to the fore due to its capacity to leverage entrepreneurial processes to achieve social value while ensuring profits. In this study, we apply an experimental research method to analyse the concept of social entrepreneurship comprehensively. More specifically, we develop bibliometric analysis and web crawling techniques to gather information related to social entrepreneurship from Scopus and Wikipedia. We conduct a comparative network analysis of social entrepreneurship’s conceptual structure at academic and non-academic levels. This analysis has been performed considering scientific articles’ keywor…
Partial/Asymmetrical Information sharing in Supply Chain: A bibliometric analysis
2016
The importance of Information Sharing (IS) between an enterprise and its customers or cooperating companies has been long recognized in Supply Chain (SC) research literature. In this paper we perform an exploratory analysis of the current state-of-art and challenges in the field of partial/asymmetrical IS in SC. To fulfil our objective we carry out a bibliometric analysis by adopting BibExcel and Gephi tools. We identify 115 articles and generate several co-citation maps. Our results show that the concepts of partial and asymmetrical IS in SCs are not well defined in literature.
INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORK AND INNOVATION: A BIBLIOMETRIC REVIEW OF PAST STUDIES AND A RESEARCH AGENDA
2013
This paper aims to provide a systematic overview of studies performed on the relationship between interorganizational networks and innovation in an attempt to isolate the origin of innovation networks. We assess strengths and weaknesses of existing research body, provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of business actors’ goals on innovation networks and clarify how a partial convergence of interests among the key network actors may influence the development, adoption and diffusion of innovation. On the basis of a bibliometric investigation, we shall manage to visualize a map of extant literature, discuss novel trends, and propose an agenda for the future research.
Entrepreneurial universities: A bibliometric analysis within the business and management domains
2021
Abstract This study presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications investigating entrepreneurial universities in the business and management fields. The authors collected 511 documents from the Web of Science and analysed them using Bibliometrix, an RStudio package for performance analysis and science mapping. The study aims to provide an overview of the evolution of research about this topic and describe the structures (i.e., conceptual, social, and intellectual) characterising it. It discusses the results to identify the main areas addressed so far and highlight gaps in the literature, offering avenues for possible future research. The results show that publications on entrep…
Livelli e fattori della produttività scientifica della psicologia accademica. Una analisi bibliometrica
2015
The survey concerns the bibliometric analysis of the scientific productivity of the 8 Scientific Areas in which the Academic Italian System of Psychology is subdivided (Settori Scientifico-Disciplinari, SSD). To this end, data were retrieved from the Scopus (available at March 2012), one of the most internationally representative scientific databases. Results shows that the Scientific Areas differ from each other with respect to productivity but they tend to show similar rates of growth. Moreover, the Scientific Areas show different organizational characteristics (extension of the collaborative networks, language of publication, number of the international co-authorships); these characteris…
