文摘Purpose:This paper reports on a scientometric analysis bolstered by human-in-the-loop,domain experts,to examine the field of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)research.Scientometric analyses reveal the intellectual landscape of a field.The study engaged MOF scientists in the design and review of our research workflow.MOF materials are an essential component in next-generation renewable energy storage and biomedical technologies.The research approach demonstrates how engaging experts,via human-in-the-loop processes,can help develop a comprehensive view of a field’s research trends,influential works,and specialized topics.Design/methodology/approach:Ascientometric analysis was conducted,integrating natural language processing(NLP),topic modeling,and network analysis methods.The analytical approach was enhanced through a human-in-the-loop iterative process involving MOF research scientists at selected intervals.MOF researcher feedback was incorporated into our method.The data sample included 65,209 MOF research articles.Python3 and software tool VOSviewer were used to perform the analysis.Findings:The findings demonstrate the value of including domain experts in research workflows,refinement,and interpretation of results.At each stage of the analysis,the MOF researchers contributed to interpreting the results and method refinements targeting our focus Research evolution of metal organic frameworks:A scientometric approach with human-in-the-loop on MOF research.This study identified influential works and their themes.Our findings also underscore four main MOF research directions and applications.Research limitations:This study is limited by the sample(articles identified and referenced by the Cambridge Structural Database)that informed our analysis.Practical implications:Our findings contribute to addressing the current gap in fully mapping out the comprehensive landscape of MOF research.Additionally,the results will help domain scientists target future research directions.Originality/value:To the best of our knowledge,the number of publications collected for analysis exceeds those of previous studies.This enabled us to explore a more extensive body of MOF research compared to previous studies.Another contribution of our work is the iterative engagement of domain scientists,who brought in-depth,expert interpretation to the data analysis,helping hone the study.
文摘Purpose: The aim of this article is to explore up to seven parameters related to the methodological quality and reproducibility of thematic bibliometric research published in the two most productive journals in bibliometrics, Sustainability(a journal outside the discipline) and Scientometrics, the flagship journal in the field.Design/methodology/approach: The study identifies the need for developing tailored tools for improving the quality of thematic bibliometric analyses, and presents a framework that can guide the development of such tools. A total of 508 papers are analysed, 77% of Sustainability, and 23% published in Scientometrics, for the 2019-2021 period.Findings: An average of 2.6 shortcomings per paper was found for the whole sample, with an almost identical number of flaws in both journals. Sustainability has more flaws than Scientometrics in four of the seven parameters studied, while Scientometrics has more shortcomings in the remaining three variables.Research limitations: The first limitation of this work is that it is a study of two scientific journals, so the results cannot be directly extrapolated to the set of thematic bibliometric analyses published in journals from all fields.Practical implications: We propose the adoption of protocols, guidelines, and other similar tools, adapted to bibliometric practice, which could increase the thoroughness, transparency, and reproducibility of this type of research.Originality/value: These results show considerable room for improvement in terms of the adequate use and breakdown of methodological procedures in thematic bibliometric research, both in journals in the Information Science area and journals outside the discipline.
