Abstract

Purpose This study aims to present recent trends in touchscreen research through scientometric analysis. Devices with touchscreen are powerful tools for performing specialized operations. The touch screens of tablets, smartphones, laptops and television play an important role in teaching, learning and research. Design/methodology/approach The data was collected from Web of Science database from 2011 to 2021 and analysed using MS-Excel and VOSviewer software. After analysing 389 research papers, the authors identified the high impact journals, collaboration of countries, institutions, authors and growth trend of publications. Analysing the most used keywords, country-wise distribution of publications and research collaboration between institutions will help interpret the research trends in the selected time span. Findings The publications show an increase in number over the years from 2011 to 2021. Among the countries, USA has the highest number of 127 articles published, followed by England (61) and Canada (30). The results showed that the multiple authorship pattern in touchscreen publication is high when compared to single authors. The institutional analysis indicated that the organizations publishing more than five documents in the area were mostly from United Kingdom, Australia, USA and Korea. Timeline visualizations identified prominent keywords like touchscreen, performance, operant platform, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. in the subject. Interdisciplinary research is dominant in the subject, as seen from the most preferred journals and keywords. Research limitations/implications The analysis does not include a comprehensive coverage of the research output, as only Web of Science database from 2011 to 2021 in a 10-year period is included. Practical implications The study would benefit stakeholders, including manufacturers and researchers alike, to know the future of touchscreen research. Social implications This study is pertinent to socio-psychological fields because touchscreen technology encourages social connection among older persons and may help foster early literacy skills. Originality/value This paper will provide an understanding of the global developments in touchscreen research with recommendations for future research.
通过科学计量分析可视化触摸屏研究的发展历程
目的 本研究旨在通过科学计量分析介绍触摸屏研究的最新趋势。带触摸屏的设备是执行专门操作的强大工具。平板电脑、智能手机、笔记本电脑和电视机的触摸屏在教学、学习和研究中发挥着重要作用。设计/方法/手段从 Web of Science 数据库中收集了 2011 年至 2021 年的数据,并使用 MS-Excel 和 VOSviewer 软件进行了分析。在分析了 389 篇研究论文后,作者确定了高影响力期刊、合作国家、机构、作者和出版物的增长趋势。对使用最多的关键词、出版物的国家分布以及机构间的研究合作进行分析,将有助于解读选定时间跨度内的研究趋势。在各国中,美国发表的论文数量最多,达到 127 篇,其次是英国(61 篇)和加拿大(30 篇)。结果表明,与单个作者相比,触摸屏出版物的多作者模式较高。机构分析表明,在该领域发表五篇以上论文的机构主要来自英国、澳大利亚、美国和韩国。时间轴可视化发现了该主题中突出的关键词,如触摸屏、性能、操作平台、老年痴呆症等。研究的局限性/意义该分析并不包括研究成果的全面覆盖,因为只包括 2011 年至 2021 年这 10 年间的 Web of Science 数据库。社会意义本研究与社会心理领域相关,因为触摸屏技术鼓励老年人之间的社会联系,并可能有助于培养早期识字技能。原创性/价值本论文将使人们了解触摸屏研究的全球发展情况,并对未来研究提出建议。

期刊介绍: Information Discovery and Delivery covers information discovery and access for digital information researchers. This includes educators, knowledge professionals in education and cultural organisations, knowledge managers in media, health care and government, as well as librarians. The journal publishes research and practice which explores the digital information supply chain ie transport, flows, tracking, exchange and sharing, including within and between libraries. It is also interested in digital information capture, packaging and storage by ‘collectors’ of all kinds. Information is widely defined, including but not limited to: Records, Documents, Learning objects, Visual and sound files, Data and metadata and , User-generated content.
