Bibliometric Analysis and Co-word Mapping of the Knowledge Graph Field: A Review-Style Study Charts the Domain's Knowledge Base and Thematic Structure
The article titled "Bibliometric Analysis and Co-word Mapping: The Field of Knowledge Graphs" organizes and reviews literature on the knowledge graph research field using bibliometric and co-word analysis, with references spanning knowledge graph definitions and surveys, embedding methods, completion and refinement, domain-specific graphs, educational applications, and scientometric and co-word methods themselves; however, the text available here is only the reference list, and the body, figures, and specific bibliometric results are not included.
Modelling regional energy poverty in England: a three-level intersectional framework finds similar poverty levels can arise from different combinations of conditions
Addressing the assumption in European energy poverty research that drivers are separate and additive, this study develops a three-level modelling framework that operationalises intersectionality as a mediating structure linking socio-economic characteristics to energy poverty, and uses regional data for England with combined statistical and machine learning methods to identify underlying patterns, finding that similar levels of energy poverty can emerge from different combinations of conditions: a socio-economic gradient related to labour market position, education, and health plays a dominant role, while additional intersectional patterns capture life-stage differences and energy system characteristics, particularly heating types.
A Scientometric Mapping of Global 'Strategizing' Research: Loaded Text Contains Only a Reference List, With No Reported Findings
The work is titled 'Mapping and Analysis of Global Research Trends on Strategizing: A Scientometric Approach' and sets out to map and analyze global research trends on strategizing using scientometric methods; however, the loaded text is only a reference list containing strategy-as-practice scholarship by Whittington, Jarzabkowski, Vaara, and Seidl alongside methodological sources such as Aria & Cuccurullo's Bibliometrix and Zupic & Čater's bibliometric methods review, with no abstract, data source, search strategy, sample size, results, or conclusions, so what the study actually did and found cannot be extracted from this text.
African exporters combining direct and indirect modes innovate more than single-mode exporters
Using a Penrosian framework and World Bank Enterprise Surveys data on 4,254 African exporters surveyed between 2011 and 2020, the study tests whether pursuing direct and indirect exporting simultaneously yields stronger innovation than either mode alone, and finds that firms combining both modes innovate significantly more on product and process innovation, with the relationship robust across specifications and estimation techniques, while the four moderators tested only partly match theoretical predictions.
Interviews with 10 virtual elementary teachers show generative AI brings efficiency and instructional gains, but requires weighing misinformation, privacy, and ethics
This qualitative phenomenological study interviewed 10 virtual elementary teachers of kindergarten through fifth grade at a large elementary virtual school and used Creswell and Poth's (2018) data analysis spiral to derive four themes—efficiency, preservation of the teacher role, instructional enhancement, and AI literacy—showing that teachers simultaneously weigh efficiency and enhanced instructional quality against misinformation, privacy protection, ethical concerns, and misuse, and view generative AI as a dynamic tool whose value depends on thoughtful, informed, and human-centered application.
Survey of 100 scientometrics and research-evaluation respondents in Tehran finds new-technology use explains 73% of variance in evaluation accuracy, 64% in fairness, 70.2% in transparency, and 61.1% in responsiveness
Using a convenience sample of 100 scientometric experts, data analysts, university research-evaluation unit experts and managers, and representatives of scientific databases, reference libraries, and scientometric service companies in Tehran, the study collected data with a researcher-designed Likert-scale questionnaire based on English-language articles and tested hypotheses with simple regression in SPSS 26, finding that the use of new technologies in the scientometric process is positively associated with increased accuracy in scientific evaluation (the coefficient of determination shows 73% of the variance in accuracy explained by new-technology use), that technological innovation within scientometric frameworks promotes fairness (64% of variance in fairness explained), that new-techno
A TAM-based survey and structural equation model show that AI application significantly and positively affects leather product designers' curiosity, imagination, risk-taking, and challenge, while perceived usefulness does not significantly mediate the risk-taking dimension.
Framed by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study treats perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness as mediators and, following Williams' creativity theory, divides professional creativity into curiosity, imagination, risk-taking, and challenge; using a structured questionnaire with leather product designers and testing via confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling, it finds that AI application has a significant positive influence on all four creativity dimensions, that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly mediate the curiosity, imagination, and challenge dimensions, and that for risk-taking only perceived ease of use is a significant mediator while the effect of perceived usefulness is not statistically significant.
Study combines Saussurean semiotics, brainstorming and AIGC to generate 20 leather bag splicing designs, with B27 scoring highest satisfaction
Taking splicing methods in leather bag design as its object, the study first used Saussurean semiotics to analyze the symbiotic relationship between "signifiers" such as material, technique and element splicing and their corresponding "signifieds" of function, aesthetics and connotation, then determined target demand and style positioning through market research, constructed signifier-signified relationships with brainstorming and structured them into AIGC prompts to batch-generate 20 series of leather bag schemes, and finally ranked and selected the best through a CSAT satisfaction survey; results show that the individual alpha values of the 20 bags all exceed 0.80, KMO=0.8664 with a significant Bartlett sphericity test (P<0.001), average overall satisfaction ranges from 3.34 to 3.
Legate-Yang and Massenkoff build a robot exposure index: robots can already do 74% of US physical tasks but are cost-competitive for just 0.3% of work
Using Claude to score roughly 19,000 O*NET task descriptions across about 900 occupations by how controlled an environment a robot needs, the authors build a robot exposure index and find that today's robots can perform 74% of US physical tasks (34% of working hours) but are cost-competitive for only 0.3% of work, while a backtest since 1977 shows jobs with higher exposure later saw wage and employment declines.
