A Bibliometric Analysis of Productive Thinking Using Biblioshiny Software

Abstract

This bibliometric analysis aims to identify knowledge trends about productive thinking and new development opportunities for further research. The Scopus database was selected, and the keyword “productive thinking” was used in the search. Found 125 documents from 215 authors that have been published in 110 sources, which are then used as the research database. The documented growth each year is 2.05%, the average quotation for each document is 17.36, and 6.4% of the documents in this research database result from international collaboration. Data analysis used Biblioshiny software from R-tool. This shows that the theme of productive thinking has become a global challenge today. Research collaborations between authors, affiliations, and countries have been mapped, and trends in using keywords have been identified. The intellectual structure of the documents has also been explored so that this study has succeeded in recommending productive authors and selected sources and documents, which can be used as references for further research.
