Biblioshiny version 3.1.4, a Web-based application included in Bibiliometrix package developed in R-language (Aria and Cuccurullo, 2017), was used to examine: the most prominent articles, journals, authors, institutions and countries and to understand the thematic evolution and to elicit trends through the synthesis of knowledge structures including conceptual, intellectual and social structures of the field.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000Motor themes, basic transverse, niche and emerging and declining themes were identified using (Callon, 1991) strategic thematic map.
