Personalized nutrition has emerged as a revolutionary paradigm in nutritional science, shifting from traditional “one-size-fits-all” approaches to tailored dietary recommendations. We conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis through a systematic search strategy capturing various conceptualizations of personalized nutrition. The analysis identified 3,159 publications demonstrating three distinct phases: an inaugural phase with minimal activity, a developmental phase showing gradual growth, and a maturation phase exhibiting exponential growth. Five distinct research clusters emerged: clinical nutrition applications for special populations, nutrigenomics and personalized dietary recommendations, metabolic health and weight management, gut microbiome and functional nutrition, and precision nutrition with multi-omics integration. Temporal analysis revealed a clear evolution from genetic foundations toward microbiome research, metabolomics, and computational approaches. Citation analysis highlighted landmark studies that established individual variability in dietary responses, the gut microbiome’s role in personalization, and technology-enabled intervention systems as foundational to the field. The convergence of microbiome research, metabolomics, artificial intelligence (AI), and clinical applications creates promising directions for advancing personalized nutrition science. Future research must bridge the gap between mechanistic elucidation and clinical application, leveraging AI-driven predictive models and precision delivery systems to translate biological insights into effective public health strategies.

Adolescent cyberbullying has evolved into a significant public health and governance challenge in digital environments. This study provides a systematic bibliometric mapping of 1,202 peer-reviewed articles published between 2001 and 2025, examining the intellectual structure and thematic development of the field. By using Scopus for data retrieval and VOSviewer for co-occurrence analysis, the study identifies publication trends, influential contributors, institutional patterns, and six dominant thematic clusters. Findings indicate a sustained growth in research output, particularly after 2015, with a strong concentration on mental health outcomes, victimisation, and psychosocial risks. Emerging themes include minority vulnerability, cyber dating violence, artificial intelligence-based detection systems, and digital prevention strategies. However, governance constructs such as platform accountability, regulatory oversight, and algorithmic transparency remain comparatively peripheral. The study highlights the need for stronger integration of organisational, institutional, and socio-technical perspectives to complement individual-level research and inform coordinated policy, educational, and platform-based interventions.

This article offers the first systematic assessment of environmental studies (ES) on Turkey over the past decade (2013–2023), situating its development against the backdrop of intensifying ecological crises and shifting academic paradigms. Drawing on a dataset of 585 journal articles and book chapters indexed in the Web of Science, complemented by manual coding and interviews with scholars across disciplines, we map the thematic, methodological, and institutional trajectories of the field. Our findings reveal a significant growth in ES, with climate change, sustainability, and energy emerging as dominant themes, and gender representation among scholars showing relative balance. Yet this expansion is uneven: research remains clustered in a few universities, more reliant on quantitative approaches, and largely shaped by economics, management, and political sciences. Critical perspectives, particularly those engaging grassroots mobilizations, environmental justice, and post-anthropocentric frameworks exist, but cannot dominate. Interviews further highlight the persistent ambivalence of scholars toward ES as a disciplinary identity, raising questions about whether the field is coalescing or persisting as fragmented conversations. By charting both the advances and enduring oversights of ES on Turkey, this study contributes to global debates on the institutionalization of environmental knowledge and points toward more inclusive, interdisciplinary, and justice-oriented futures.

Using citation and co-word analysis with VOSviewer software, we identified emerging themes, dominant trends, and critical knowledge gaps. Our review highlights (1) the most cited articles, (2) the most prolific authors, journals, countries, affiliations and (3) the major clusters or themes of research. The results provide practical insights for management and suggest future research directions to strengthen the strategic relevance of pay satisfaction in organizational contexts.

This article explores how and to what extent revenue diversification and concentration strategies affect financial performance, particularly financial capacity and vulnerability, in nonprofit organizations. Using a sample collected from a systematic literature search of all major databases, we first conducted a bibliometric analysis of 86 existing studies to visualize the clusters of major topics in this area and to explore the connections between existing studies. We then employed a meta-analysis to quantitatively synthesize 258 effect sizes from 23 existing empirical studies. We found that diversification had little effect on financial vulnerability, but it had a slightly negative effect on financial capacity. The article finally uses a meta-regression to discuss some of the theoretical and practical reasons why there is inconsistency in the results across existing studies and calls for more discussion of the assumptions and effectiveness of revenue diversification among nonprofit scholars and practitioners.

This research aims to develop a deeper insight into the development of political science from the bibliometric perspective by analysing peer-reviewed journal articles (n = 1117) indexed in the Scopus database and published by authors from fifteen Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in the period 1996–2013. Results indicate that the majority of articles (84%) by CEE authors have been published in international journals and in the English language. The visibility of these articles in international journals, measured by the mean number of citations, is 5.2 per paper, while the same indicator for CEE journal articles amounts to 0.2. Authorship analysis indicates a gradual but continuous increase in co-authorships. Additionally, there are significant differences in citations between single-authored and co-authored articles, both in international and CEE journals. Co-authorship among CEE authors is present in only 1% of the analysed articles, confirming weak collaboration between political scientists in CEE countries.

The underrepresentation of women and gender minorities in certain STEM fields remains a persistent issue, despite decades of research and outreach. Existing research has explored this disparity through lenses such as barriers to participation, whether there are differences in ability or competence, and the misalignment of individual goals with the affordances of STEM fields. This framework introduces a novel perspective by investigating how gender differences may influence the nature of research itself. We propose a coding protocol for systematically analyzing stated goal alignment through the lenses of social relevance, goal type (communal or agentic), and goal function (advancing or fortifying). The protocol was iteratively developed through a coding analysis of research papers from a major design engineering conference and journal (N = 297). The protocol is demonstrated through coding two papers, including one from the International Conference on Engineering Design. Use of this protocol will help researchers demonstrate how published research portrays social relevance and communal focus and thus improve understanding of the participation of women in STEM.

With a growing body of research exploring how employees perceive and respond to human resource management (HRM) practices, the strategic HRM field faces the challenge of assessing how insights have evolved and which theoretical perspectives have shaped them. This study presents a bibliometric review of 292 empirical research on employee perceptions of HRM practices, focusing on (1) the major research interests explored, (2) the theoretical perspectives applied, and (3) their evolution over the last 25 years. The analysis reveals a reoccurring emphasis on performance-oriented variables, such as engagement, suggesting a tendency to rely on quantifiable outcomes while sidelining alternative constructs like employee well-being. It also highlights the dominance of a limited set of theoretical perspectives commonly applied, with alternative perspectives remaining underutilised. By mapping how topical areas and theories intersect, this study refines the classification of theoretical perspectives and contributes to a more critical understanding of the strategic HRM field. Potential implications are discussed to outline actionable recommendations for future research.

The gastrointestinal microbiota of mammals plays a crucial role in host health, influencing nutrient absorption, lipid metabolism, and immune system regulation. This study examines the current state of research on gut microbiota in pinnipeds and cetaceans, significant indicators of ocean health. To this end, a bibliometric and an in-depth analysis was conducted using the Scopus database. A total of 83 articles published between 1994 and 2023 were found on this topic. In this period, publications showed a 6.9% annual increase, reflecting a growing interest in this field. The USA and China lead in research output, reflecting their high investment in research funding. Study topics were classified in characterization, characterization and comparison, bacterial isolation, and others. Regarding the origin of the samples, faecal samples predominated over gastrointestinal tissues and oral swabs. The most abundant bacterial phyla were Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria, and Bacterioidetes. The research also highlights the presence of pathogenic bacteria underscoring the need to better understand the health implications for these species. The analysis also reveals that studies focus on a few species, such as Phoca vitulina (Harbor seal) and Tursiops truncatus (Bottlenose dolphin), reflecting a bias towards more accessible and studied species. To advance in this area, it is recommended to broaden the range of species and countries studied, improve sampling methodologies, and foster international collaborations. Research on marine mammal gut microbiota remains an expanding field, offering significant insights into the biology and ecology of these animals.

This paper is a bibliometric analysis of research of adolescent obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in developing nations. An analysis of 4,807 papers was conducted to show trends in these areas. The most significant research came from developed countries – with the United States and England having the most publications and the strongest citation strength. However, developing countries play an important role in the development of OCD research because of how they deliver different perspectives into the field given their more distant associations with developed nation’s research. This study will use multiple indicators of bibliometrics, most notably bibliographic coupling and citation strength, to draw conclusions to show the various contributions of different nations to the field of adolescent OCD.

To mitigate plastic pollution, Resolution 5/14 of the United Nations Environment Assembly established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) tasked with negotiating the Global Plastics Treaty, an ambitious treaty expected to take effect in 2025. This treaty’s success in effectively reducing plastic pollution will depend on the ongoing work of the committee and the existing literature. Herein, I review the literature on the Global Plastics Treaty based on a search of the Web of Science. The data were analyzed, mapped and discussed in depth. The literature indicates an interdisciplinary nature, where Environmental Sciences/Ecology and Government Law are the subject areas with the highest contribution. Plastic pollution is a prominent emerging trend and research topic. Notable gaps include the need for stronger connections among the various directions in the literature and limited collaboration among authors. This work may serve as a basis for other researchers aiming to enhance the literature on the Global Plastics Treaty.
