This study aims to provide a comprehensive knowledge mapping and extensive analysis of NeuroIS research, elucidating global trends and directions within this field from January 2007 to January 2024. A visual analysis of 256 research articles sourced from the Scopus database is conducted. The knowledge mapping, utilizing CiteSpace (CiteSpace 3.6 R1) and VOSviewer (VOSviewer 1.6.19), illustrates the current research landscape, encompassing collaboration networks, co-citation networks, references exhibiting citation bursts, and keyword analysis. The findings highlight the United States and Germany as leading nations in the exploration of NeuroIS, with the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie in Germany identified as a prominent institution in this domain. René Riedl, Pierre-Majorique Léger, Marc T. P. Adam, and Christof Weinhardt emerge as the most prolific authors in the field. Noteworthy themes that have garnered attention in recent years include customer experience, information systems, and information processing. Document analysis reveals that the study by Dimoka et al. in 2012 is the most cited work, providing a comprehensive overview of global NeuroIS research. Analysis of the document co-citation network identifies electroencephalography (EEG) in the context of technostress, the social impact of information in security alerts, and user experience in human–computer interaction as key areas of focus. René Riedl is recognized as the most cited researcher, while MIS Quarterly is distinguished as the leading journal in this field. Twelve NeuroIS papers exhibit high citation counts, with significant activity noted in 2021 and 2022. The timeline delineates the evolution of topics such as neuroscience, fMRI, cognitive neuroscience, social media, trust, eye tracking, and human–computer interaction. This study pioneers the examination of the current research status of NeuroIS through bibliometric analysis and the latest available data. It advocates for enhanced collaborations among scholars and institutions to improve information systems management and foster the development of NeuroIS. The study underscores the importance of ongoing research and cooperation in NeuroIS to deepen our understanding of how neuroscience can inform information systems design and management, thereby enhancing human–technology interaction. By identifying key trends, influential authors, and prominent themes, this analysis lays the groundwork for further exploration and innovation in this interdisciplinary domain. As technology continues to advance and our reliance on information systems intensifies, the insights derived from NeuroIS research can provide valuable perspectives on enhancing user experiences, optimizing information processing, and applying neuroscientific principles to develop more effective IT artifacts. Through sustained collaboration and knowledge sharing, the NeuroIS community can drive progress and shape the future of information systems management in an increasingly dynamic digital landscape.

The agri-food sector is expanding, driven by growing global demand. At the same time, it faces the challenge of increasing its efficiency and adopting sustainable practices. This study aimed to map scientific production in this field, identifying trends, emerging themes, critical gaps, and future directions for research. A bibliometric analysis was conducted with 5141 papers published between 1977 and 2024, extracted from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. We applied keyword co-occurrence analysis, thematic analysis, thematic evolution, and three-field graphs using the metrics betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and PageRank. The results revealed a significant growth in publications in the agri-food sector, especially after 2012, emphasizing the high centrality and relevance of themes such as sustainability, agri-food, and agriculture. Topics such as bioactive compounds, blockchain, and traceability were identified as areas of growing interest, and the circular economy stood out as an emerging topic. Italy, Spain, and France lead in scientific production and international collaboration. The most prominent journals were Sustainability, the Journal of Cleaner Production, and Agriculture and Human Values. Research in the sector is expanding, focusing on sustainability, the circular economy, and bioactive compounds. International collaborations and high-impact journals are pillars for advances in the sector. Full article

Background: The literature has addressed the negative impact of poor neonatal conditions (NCs) across regions. This has drawn attention to the need to improve NCs, particularly in Africa. NCs research can make an important contribution. However, there is no study dedicated to this topic in Africa. A bibliometric analysis of NCs research can assist scientists in planning ongoing and new NCs research and support those involved in developing and implementing strategies to combat poor NCs. Methods: This study used discipline-specific terms to identify articles on NCs published between 2000 and 2019 and indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) with at least one African author. A bibliometric analysis was applied to determine the volume, visibility, topics, and collaboration activities related to NCs research. Results: The results show that knowledge on NCs increased between 2000 and 2019; NCs research is concentrated in a few African countries (Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kenya), and its visibility is below the world average. In general, maternal mortality is the most researched topic and collaborative activities are frequent, mainly international research collaboration (IRC), with the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) being the main partners (they participated in 57% and 28% of all articles with IRC). The collaboration networks are fragile as 43–67% of all links represent one article in 20 years. Conclusions: Ongoing and new NCs research in Africa should consider the main African players and their partners as important sources of knowledge. There is a need to implement strategies to increase NC knowledge in other African countries, expand and strengthen collaboration networks, and diversify the sources of knowledge. Full article

The digital transformation of museums has elevated their websites from mere informational tools to dynamic platforms that foster cultural engagement, inclusivity, and preservation. This study evaluates the performance of 234 museum websites worldwide, focusing on critical dimensions such as accessibility, usability, SEO, and speed. By employing a comprehensive diagnostic framework of evaluation metrics, the research reveals disparities between mobile and desktop versions, highlights regional variations, and identifies key performance drivers. Generally, desktop sites outperform their mobile counterparts, underscoring the necessity for tailored optimization strategies that strike a balance between fast-loading, visually stable mobile pages and content-rich desktop experiences. A key contribution of this study is the development of an easy-to-adopt and inclusive evaluation framework that unites fragmented approaches, enabling museums of all sizes to enhance their digital presence. Furthermore, the research provides actionable insights for administrators, particularly those in resource-constrained institutions, through a cost-free, user-friendly toolkit that simplifies technical metrics and promotes internal staff capacity building in digital analytics. Ultimately, the findings help empower museums to bridge digital performance gaps while ensuring they continue to function as vibrant cultural hubs in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
