Using BobCat to Find Literature Journals

One of the best methods of staying current with your field is by browsing the journal literature. Literature journals help you keep up with the latest scholarship and provide potential venues for publishing your own research. The numerous online databases available to you through the library allow you to search through the contents of these journals (and many others), but browsing through an individual journal will allow you the opportunity for more specific topic research.

You can use the advanced search options in BobCat , the NYU Libraries' catalog, to limit the material type to "Journal" while searching for a subject or keyword of your choice. Here are some sample subject searches, limited to journals:

• American literature
• Comparative literature
• English literature -- History and criticism
• Language and literature

Try adding in additional terms to narrow your search down, or use the "Tweak my results" options on the left side of the page if you're getting too many results.

If this method doesn't work for you, you may want to look at a more specialized list of journals (see "Using the MLA Directory of Periodicals" below).

Using the MLA Directory of Periodicals to Find Literature Journals

If you want to look at a list of journals for any topic within literary studies, try the MLA Directory of Periodicals (DOP). Each entry in the DOP provides information about the journal's scope, subject matter, publication schedule, editors, submission guidelines, peer review status, and more. You can access the DoP from within the MLA International Bibliography database, or directly through its own link (below and in the library's Articles & Databases portal).

The video below, from the Modern Language Association, explains the basics of using the DoP.

• MLA Directory of Periodicals This link opens in a new window The MLA Directory of Periodicals provides detailed information on journals and book series that cover literature, literary theory, dramatic arts, folklore, language, linguistics, pedagogy, rhetoric and composition, and the history of printing and publishing. Articles published in works listed in the directory are indexed in the MLA International Bibliography. The directory is a valuable resource for scholars seeking outlets to publish their work

A Sampling of Literature Journals

Here is a small sampling of the literature journals available to you through the library:

• Book History Book History is devoted to every aspect of the history of the book, broadly defined as the history of the creation, dissemination, and reception of script and print. It publishes research on the social, economic, and cultural history of author- ship, editing, printing, the book arts, publishing, the book trade, periodicals, newspapers, ephemera, copyright, censorship, literary agents, libraries, literary criticism, canon formation, literacy, literary education, reading habits, and reader response.
• Contemporary Literature Contemporary Literature covers the whole range of critical practices, offering new perspectives in contemporary literary studies. CL features in-depth interviews with significant writers, broad-ranging articles written by leaders in the field, and book reviews of important critical studies.
• Critical Inquiry In CI new ideas and reconsideration of those traditional in criticism and culture are granted a voice. The wide interdisciplinary focus creates surprising juxtapositions and linkages of concepts, offering new grounds for theoretical debate. In CI, authors entertain and challenge while illuminating such issues as improvisations, the life of things, Flaubert, and early modern women's writing. CI comes full circle with the electrically charged debates between contributors and their critics.
• ELH Since 1934, ELH has published superior studies that interpret the conditions affecting major works in English and American literature.
• Journal of Victorian Culture Journal of Victorian Culture is essential reading for scholars of the Victorian period. It provides an international forum for discussion and debate on all aspects of Victorian history and culture in a diverse range of formats, including articles, perspectives, roundtables and a section of substantial reviews.
• New Literary History New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns.
• Publications of the Modern Language Association of America (PMLA) PMLA is the journal of the Modern Language Association of America. Since 1884, PMLA has published members' essays judged to be of interest to scholars and teachers of language and literature.
• SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900.

• English Faculty Library Training Sessions
• Referencing
• Introduction

A journal is a regular publication (monthly, yearly, etc.) in which you will find academic and research articles. The articles present current research and are critiqued by experts before publication, so you can be confident of their quality. The majority of journals held by the Bodleian Libraries in both physical and electronic formats can be searched via SOLO , as can the individual articles within ejournals.

On this page you will find relevant journals and periodicals, and guidance on how to search for and access print and ejournals.

Definitions

Terms you may encounter in your research.

Journal: A regular publication of academic and research articles.

Serial: A broad term that refers to items published in a series but the items are separate and standalone. Examples include indexes, yearbooks and some journals.

Periodical: A regular publication that includes articles, stories and other text. Magazines and newspapers are examples of these.

Conference proceedings: The published record of a conference.

Full-text: This means you can read the item in full from beginning to end, not just the abstract or summary.

Platform: This refers to the site on which you can find and access the journal.

Finding journal articles

You can search for journal articles via SOLO , if you use the 'Articles' option. You can refine a regular search to articles only via the 'resource type' filter.

If you're interested in searching for articles on a particular topic, it's best to use a bibliographic database like the MLA International Bibliography or ABELL - see the Bibliographic Databases page of this guide for more information.

Electronic journals (e-journals)

• Selected journals

Ejournals are digital versions of select types of regular publications. Broadly speaking they come in two forms: they are either 'born digital' or are digital reproductions of physical works.

The tab at the top of this box lists key ejournals relevant to the study of English Language and Literature.

Members of Oxford University can use ejournals that the Bodleian Libraries have purchased for free. Search for them on  SOLO . They can be read on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, e-reader or mobile phone; you just need your  Oxford Single Sign On  to access them. Individually purchased ejournals are all searchable on SOLO.

Note, some ejournals have restrictive access and usage terms, for example they can only be read by one person at a time.

Some ejournals are acquired via 'electronic Legal Deposit'. These must be read on a library desktop computer in one of the Bodleian Libraries. Further information on how to identify and access electronic Legal Deposit items on SOLO is at the link below.

The tabs at the top of this box list Oxford University libraries with print journals of interest to those studying English Language and Literature. A lot of journals are available online but some are still in print, especially those published before the introduction of computers and online journals, and they have not all been digitised.

Help with print journals

For those wishing to learn more about searching for journals in Oxford, we recommend the following guide:

• SOLO: Search Oxford Libraries Online guide A guide for students and researchers at the University of Oxford, or those visiting, who seek support in using the Bodleian Libraries resource discovery tool, SOLO.
• Bodleian Library

The Bodleian library's extensive collections include many print journals relevant to English Language and Literature. All journal titles can be found via SOLO (using Advanced Search and choosing 'Journals' in the 'Resource Type' menu will refine your search). Most of the Bodleian Library journals are kept off-site in the storage facility. Journal issues or volumes can be called over to a library reading room via SOLO (there are daily deliveries to most Bodleian Libraries reading rooms). A scan of an individual article can requested via the Libraries Scan & Deliver service. The Bodleian's Upper Reading Room accommodates a display of current issues of major English Language and Literature journals. The Gladstone Link  also has runs of selected Humanities print journals.

• English Faculty Library

There are hard copy runs of selected key periodicals for English on the lower floor of the EFL, including ELH: English Literary History, English Studies, English Literary Renaissance, Modernism/Modernity, Shakespeare Survey, Studies in the Age of Chaucer, and more. The EFL also has a collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century periodicals, such as All the Year Round, the Edinburgh Review, the Cornhill Magazine, the Quarterly Review, Bentley's Miscellany, and more. Many of the EFL's nineteenth-century periodicals are digitised and can be accessed via SOLO. Physical volumes are held on closed access and can be requested for viewing in the reading room.

• Taylor Institution Library

The Taylor is the is the University's centre for the study of Modern European languages and literatures (other than English), and also includes collections in Linguistics and Film Studies. It holds approximately 850–900 periodical titles. These include original literary journals dating from the 18th century onwards, and many current subscriptions covering literary criticism and original writing.

Historical periodicals and newspapers

See below for collections of historic newspapers and periodicals. Individual titles can also be found via SOLO.

For more newspapers, see the Newspapers category of Databases A-Z , or search SOLO for individual titles

This database provides access to over 1,270 newsbooks, newspapers, pamphlets and a variety of other news materials published in England, Ireland and Scotland, plus papers from British colonies in Asia and the Americas. The collection is particularly rich in 18th century London newspapers. All the major titles are included, such as the Daily Courant from 1702 to 1735, the first daily newspaper published in London, and the London Gazette from 1665. Periodicals, such as Tatler (1709-1711) and Spectator (1711-1712), are also included.

Also represented are English provincial titles from 1712, Irish newspapers (the earliest being the Dublin Intelligence of 1691), Scottish ones from 1708 onwards, and many 18th century American ones too, including the New England Courant (1721-1723).

Features the newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets and broadsheets that form the Nichols newspaper collection held at the Bodleian Library. All 296 volumes of bound material, covering the period 1672-1737 have been digitized. This collection charts the history of the development of the press in England and provides invaluable insight into 17th and 18th century England.

The nineteenth century was a time of revolutionary change and expansion. Britain was one of the world’s first industrial, urban superpowers and developed a press to feed the demands of its increasingly literate population. The Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals series covers the events, lives, values, and themes that shaped the nineteenth century world. It provides an invaluable, fully-searchable facsimile resource for the study of British life in the nineteenth century—from art to business, and from children to politics. Few of the materials in this extensive collection have ever been reissued, in any format since original publication. Titles included have been identified and selected by leading scholars in nineteenth century studies; their choices reflect the broad scope and thrust of research and teaching in the twenty-first century.

Part I: Women's, Children's, Humour, and Leisure covers the advent of commercial lifestyle publishing in Britain, drawn from the remarkable collections of the British Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Australia, and National Library of South Africa. The series acts as a barometer of literacy and social mobility in the 1800s, with a particular focus on the rarely documented aspects of women, children, humour, and leisure activity in the Victorian age. The rise of magazine publishing is reflected in the selection of publications, spanning publications aimed at and tailored to various audiences, including women and children.

19th Century U.S. Newspapers provides access to approximately 1.7 million pages of primary source newspaper content from the 19th century, featuring full-text content and images from numerous newspapers from a range of urban and rural regions throughout the U.S. The collection encompasses the entire 19th century, with an emphasis on such topics as the American Civil War, African-American culture and history, Western migration and Antebellum-era life among other subjects.

Date coverage: 1800-1900

• African American Newspapers series I (1827-1998) more... less... Chronicling a century and a half of the African American experience, African American Newspapers, Series 1, features 280 newspapers from 35 states, including many rare and historically significant 19th-century titles.
• African American Periodicals, 1825-1995 more... less... African American Periodicals allows users to search more than 170 African American Periodicals published between 1825 and 1995. Created by Readex through a partnership with the Wisconsin Historical Society, African American Periodicals enables researchers to explore African American culture, thought and opinion ranging over more than 150 years of African American life.

The collection provides digital access to the full text of thousands of American periodicals published between 1684 and 1912, digitised from the collections of the American Antiquarian Society. Titles cover a broad range of subjects and interests related to every aspect of American life and culture, from politics to religion, science, law, literature and the arts.

Over 1,100 periodicals that first began publishing between 1740 and 1900, including special interest and general magazines, literary and professional journals, children's and women's magazines, and many other historically-significant periodicals.

The Chicago Defender (1905-1975) offers full page and article images with searchable full text back to the first issue. The collection includes digital reproductions providing access to every page from every available issue.

From the Glasgow Herald to the Graphic, from the Illustrated Police News to the Preston Chronicle, the collection greatly enhances research into the history, society and culture of the UK. The website also offers contextual essays regarding the role of newspapers in the Victorian age, bibliographic head-notes and a chronological overview.

This resource provides access to British Newspaper Archive (BNA) content (except for very small numbers of newspapers).

• British Library Newspapers, Part I: (1800-1900)
• British Library Newspapers, Part II: (1800-1900)
• British Library Newspapers, Part III: (1741-1950)
• British Library Newspapers, Part IV. (1732-1950)
• British Library Newspapers, Part V. (1746-1950)

British Periodicals traces the development and growth of the periodical press in Britain from its origins in the seventeenth century through to the Victorian 'age of periodicals' and beyond. On completion this unique digital archive will consist of almost 500 periodical runs published from the 1680s to the 1930s, comprising six million keyword-searchable pages and forming an unrivalled record of more than two centuries of British history and culture.

Provides access to the full-text of nearly 460 British popular and literary periodicals published from the 17th century to the early 20th century. Includes amongst others the Anti-Slavery Reporter, London Review, Royal Magazine or Gentleman’s Monthly Companion, some religious titles such as The Wesleyan-Methodist Magazine. Topics covered include literature, philosophy, history, science, music, architecture, drama, the fine arts and the social sciences.

This is a digital collection of 18th century journals published between 1693 and 1799, including many rare or ephemeral titles drawn from the Hope Collection at the Bodleian Library and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Centre, University of Texas at Austin. The journals are invaluable to the study of all aspects of the eighteenth century, including crime, sport, advertising, the theatre; fashion; politics, revolution; agriculture; social issues and society life. There are also polemics, poetry, letters to the press, reviews of drama and novels, contemporary adverts and essays on almost every conceivable topic.

This resource provides online access to 57 women’s magazine and journal publications covering the late eighteenth century to the 1930s. The material allows researchers to explore the role of women in society and the development of the public lives of women as the push for women's rights (woman suffrage, fair pay, better working conditions, etc.) grew in the United States and England. Some of the titles in this collection were conceived and published by men, for women; others, conceived and published by male editors with strong input from female assistant editors or managers; others were conceived and published by women, for women. It is therefore also useful for the study of the history of women’s publishing. The strongest suffrage and anti-suffrage writing was done by women for women's periodicals. Suffrage and anti-suffrage writing, domesticity columns, and literary genres from poetry to serialized novels are included in these periodicals. Thus this resource provides a wide array of views for study. The collection contains overwhelmingly English and US publications, with 4 German, 1 French periodical and 1 Icelandic periodical.

An online archive of digitized, full-image journal articles, Periodicals Archive Online (formerly PCI Full Text) offers unprecedented access to international, scholarly literature in the humanities and social sciences disciplines from 1802 to 2000. Many journals are non-English. Oxford has access to Collections 0–9, Jisc Collection and Jisc Collection 2. Contents includes The Spectator from 1828 to 2000.

Note that Periodicals Archive Online is separate from other ProQuest databases such as British Periodicals.

Journal articles are the academic's stock in trade, t he basic means of communicating research findings to an audience of one’s peers. That holds true across the disciplinary spectrum, so no matter where you land as a concentrator, you can expect to rely on them heavily. 

Regardless of the discipline, moreover,  journal articles perform an important knowledge-updating function .

Textbooks and handbooks and manuals will have a secondary function for chemists and physicists and biologists, of course. But in the sciences, articles are the standard and  preferred publication form. 

In the social sciences and humanities , where knowledge develops a little less rapidly or is driven less by issues of time-sensitivity , journal articles and books are more often used together.

Not all important and influential ideas warrant book-length studies, and some inquiry is just better suited to the size and scope and concentrated discussion that the article format offers.

Journal articles sometimes just present the most  appropriate  solution for communicating findings or making a convincing argument.  A 20-page article may perfectly fit a researcher's needs.  Sustaining that argument for 200 pages might be unnecessary -- or impossible.

The quality of a research article and the legitimacy of its findings are verified by other scholars, prior to publication, through a rigorous evaluation method called peer-review . This seal of approval by other scholars doesn't mean that an article is the best, or truest, or last word on a topic. If that were the case, research on lots of things would cease. Peer review simply means other experts believe the methods, the evidence, the conclusions of an article have met important standards of legitimacy, reliability, and intellectual honesty.

Searching the journal literature is part of being a responsible researcher at any level: professor, grad student, concentrator, first-year. Knowing why academic articles matter will help you make good decisions about what you find -- and what you choose to rely on in your work.

Think of journal articles as the way you tap into the ongoing scholarly conversation , as a way of testing the currency of  a finding, analysis, or argumentative position, and a way of bolstering the authority (or plausibility) of explanations you'll offer in the papers and projects you'll complete at Harvard.

Social innovation and higher education: evolution and future promise

Introduction.

Educational technology in education applications like digital visual learning media has revolutionized conventional learning mechanisms (Shen and Ho, 2020 ). Digital visual learning media in education has become a trend in recent years. Comics, animations, and cartoons are visual learning media with similar characters. A comic is a single-panel illustration that depicts a story or journey (Alousque, 2020 ). Comics are increasingly prominent in entertainment, industry, culture, and the arts (Yamanishi et al. 2021 ). The students get simulant to discuss material or topics through the cartoons (Hansen and Skeiseid, 2022 ). Comics are a kind of animation that aims to amuse readers by introducing characters and telling a tale in a sequence closely tied to the image (Riwanto and Wulandari, 2018 ). Furthermore, animation is an illusion created by images and displayed on a computer screen (Cevahir et al. 2022 ).

Cartoons are frequently used in education to assist students in developing their knowledge and improving their problem-solving skills (Gokkurt-Ozdemir et al. 2021 ). Cartoons are practical tools for reducing misconceptions among students in science classes. Then, comics can help students improve their literacy, language skills, and awareness of social issues (Das and Singh, 2022 ). Cartoons and animation have several educational benefits, including attracting attention, motivating students, and presenting information and explanations visually, making teaching more appealing (Appiah et al. 2022 ; Cevahir et al. 2022 ).

Much research about digital multimedia has used the ADDIE model and focused on the scope of education. Digital cartoons, animation, and comics have been widely employed in education since the development of digital technology and the internet within the educational system. Much research explains the practical implementation of digital multimedia. Digital cartoons as visualization media can explain course topics well, so the students make courses enjoyable and increase their interest in course learning (Gokkurt-Ozdemir et al. 2021 ). Animation is frequently used in education, especially in Augmented Reality (AR). Science subject materials such as mathematics, chemistry, and physics-based animation with AR technology can increase students’ motivation and achievement levels. Digital comics are straightforward and feasible to increase students’ literature and motivation (Karlimah et al. 2021 ; Arafik et al. 2021 ). Digital technology is used in education as a media that significantly contributes to increased learning outcomes and 21 st -century skills such as critical thinking, analytical thinking, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills (Arafik et al. 2021 ; Yıldız et al. 2017 ).

Over the past ten years, digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons have progressively become a part of learning media in humanities and social sciences research. This study aims to analyze the trends and recommendations of visual media education. In detail, this research uses bibliometric analysis to track the development of digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons in education. Data is taken from the Scopus database to answer the following research questions:

Regarding research characteristics and features, what were the location, type of documents, sources, and authors of digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons in education research?

In terms of application, what were the dominant subject areas and what are the contributions and differences between digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons in education research?

Materials and Methods

Scientific mapping uses bibliometric analysis to assess and quantify publications in a specific research field. The analysis results can help future researchers to understand the patterns and trends of research and find out the novelty (Kulakli and Osmanaj, 2020 ; Suprapto et al. 2021 ; Yang et al. 2017 ; Yanuarti and Suprapto, 2021 ; Zakhiyah et al. 2021 ).

Data were collected from the Scopus database because it is one of the most significant sources of scientific kinds of literature, such as conference papers, book chapters, books, articles, and notes (Suprapto et al. 2021 ; Xie et al. 2020 ; Yanuarti and Suprapto, 2021 ; Zakhiyah et al. 2021 ).

Data Collection

The data were collected in October 2023. The authors input the keywords on the title and abstract: TITLE-ABS-KEY (digital AND comic OR animation OR digital AND cartoon) . The authors found 466 documents. Then, the data were collected from 2013–2023, and 288 documents were documented in .csv and .ris format.

Data Analysis

VOSviewer used .ris metadata to visualize the network and determine the association between authors, documents, and keywords (Guleria and Kaur, 2021 ; Olandinrin et al. 2023 ; Van Eck and Waltman, 2020 ). Then .csv metadata used Microsoft Excel to categorize and plot the data about nation, affiliation, language, year of publication, and other data from the.csv file. VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel are all software used to analyze the data in bibliometric research (Prahani et al. 2022 ; Setyaningsih et al. 2018 ). Microsoft Excel was used to analyze RQ 1, using Microsoft Excel results, and RQ 2 was solved using VosViewer.

Results and Discussion

Research question 1—research characteristics and features, year-publication, language, and type of documents distribution.

Figure 1 shows the year publication distribution of digital comic, animation, and digital cartoon research. Over the last decade, this research has fluctuated with no extreme decline. The average publication was 26 documents, and five years received publications above the average. The most recent publication year of digital comics, animation, and digital cartoon research was 2022, with 38 documents (see Fig. 1 ). The second-largest distribution, with 36 documents, occurs in 2020. There was a rapid spike in publications - doubling - in the first year of the pandemic, namely 2019 and 2020. The percentage of total documents (%TD) and total citations (%TC) is also illustrated in Fig. 1 . In 2020, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, and there was a change in the learning system to online distance learning. Several institutions and grades use digital visual media and technology to support learning activities (Irfan et al. 2020 ).

Year-wise distribution of documents.

Animation is an adequate distance teaching method and increases student motivation and participation (Azlan et al. 2020 ; Inangil et al. 2022 ). Digital comics are a popular source of reading history and science subject material that can increase students’ reading skills and motivation (Damopolii et al. 2021 ). Digital cartoons become increasingly popular during the pandemic, and several researchers use cartoons for their ADHD children (Jena and Devi, 2020 ). In addition, 2018 and 2020 were the top cited years. Citation on publication documents from 2021 to 2023 has the lowest percentage and declines yearly. Therefore, this research requires an increase in quantitative publications. Through the trends discussed above, future research can focus on digital technology that can be combined with visual media to measure student skills.

English is the most common language, accounting for 270 documents or 93.75%. Chinese was used in digital-visual media research with five documents and a percentage of 1.74%. Each document in French, Russian, and Turkish gets three documents published. Dutch, Italian, and Spanish were used in a small percentage of the document (less than 1%) (see Fig. 2 ). Many sources and publishers used English as their standard international language. For example, Springer and Taylor & Francis Ltd published their English document. However, many sources-publisher used another language to publish their research document: Chinese-Editorial and Publishing Board of JIG, Italian-Universita degli Studi di Milano, Turkish-AVES, Portuguese-Research Centre in Education, Russian-Russian Psychological Society, Spanish- Fundacion para la Investigacion Social Avanzada , and Dutch-Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde .

Language used in documents.

There are 288 digital comic, animation, and digital cartoon research documents, including 159 articles, 82 conference papers, 18 book chapters, 12 books, six conference reviews and reviews, and five documents of other types (see Fig. 3 ). The research documents were published from several sources (see Fig. 3 ). All articles and ten conference papers were published in the journal, and 61 were published in conference papers, books, and book series. Two documents were published in the trade journal.

Type of research document and sources.

The source publishing and subject area of digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons

40% of the top sources in visual media education research are journals and conference papers (see Table 1 ). The remaining 20% is published through a book series with Springer Verlag as publisher. Top cited documents in journal sources have the highest number of citations: ACM Transaction on Graphics (21 citations) and Multimedia Tools and Applications (14 citations). Two journals have many scopes of research that represent the implementation of digital visual media education (see Fig. 4 ). In this journal, researchers discuss several topics like distance and interactive learning (Guo et al. 2020 ) and implementing multimedia in learning activities (Li and Lu, 2023 ). However, the top cited authors in this source are not included among the top authors list (see the following subsection).

Aims and sources of ACM Transaction on Graphics and Multimedia Tools-Applications.

Figure 5 represents several subject areas in digital visual media research related to computer science. Computer science is the subject area in top sources (89 documents) and top author (see following sub-section). Other research has concreated in social sciences (66 documents), engineering (40 documents), art & humanities (31 documents), and other subject areas: medicine, mathematics, decision sciences, psychology, BMA, physics-astronomy. The development of digital visual learning media has a significant impact on education. Research has impacted science, engineering, artificial intelligence, and other fields. Computer science is more closely related to mathematics, engineering, and science than many scientific fields. While social computing investigates the relationship between social behavior and computational systems, computational social science applies computer science theory to the social sciences.

Subject area of digital visual media research.

The productive author, affiliation, and countries of digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons research

The top ten authors with publications in digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons are listed in Table 2 . China and Hong Kong are all research-intensive countries with many publications. China has over 4600 animation industries and creates several scientific films, promoting scientific knowledge and ideological statements with animation effects and cartoons (Zhuang, 2023 ). Four Chinese researchers and three Hong Kong researchers from different affiliations participated in digital visual media education research. Li, D. from China has published more than other researchers (3 documents). Yu, Y from Hong Kong got the top citation and the highest h-index, and Wang W. from the US got the first rank for his publication documents. Several researchers got their gold publication years in the last decade. 2022 is the top publication year; two authors from China and the last one from the US participated (see the previous sub-section). In addition, 80% of affiliations’ top authors are included in the top ten affiliations. The University of Tokyo ranks second in top affiliations (see Table 3 ).

Furthermore, there are three cluster co-authorships in this scope of research: Xu’s cluster (blue), Wu’s cluster (red), and Zhang’s cluster (green) (see Fig. 6 ). The largest cluster (red and green) contributed are related to the smallest cluster (blue). China-Hong Kong authors dominated three clusters. Xu and Wu researched computer graphics and deep learning.

A network visualization of co-authorship.

There are four affiliations and three top authors are listed in Table 3 . In addition, China’s affiliation dominated this scope of research. On the other hand, Duke University and the University of Southern California have the top citations. Based on the discussion in this sub-section, the four biggest countries contributed to digital cartoons, animation, and digital comics: the US, China, Hong Kong, and Japan. The US and Japan are the top animation, cartoon, and comics industry makers. Many products from these countries were imported to China and Hong Kong.

Figure 7 shows the distribution research worldwide. The dominant countries are China (48 docs) and the US (47 docs), which have top authors. In addition, The University of Tokyo and Zhejiang University contributed 23% to this scope of research. 8.64% of each document is from Hong Kong, the US, the Netherlands, and the UK. Based on Fig. 7 , it is known that research on comics, animation, and cartoons still needs to be improved. For example, in the Asian region, East Asia has significantly contributed to research - South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. In the Southeast Asia region, only three countries participated, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, with each publication having six documents. In addition, the only South Asian region is India, with 15 published documents.

Research Question 2- The visualization of co-occurrence-keywords of digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons

The first top-cited document from the United Kingdom (the Queen Mary University of London and the University of Edinburgh) is about sketch images, DG methods, and deep learning. Five top-cited documents discuss various points of view and studies regarding visual media (see Table 4 ). Two papers discuss how to make digital visual media, such as DG methods and auto-painter. According to Li et al. ( 2017 ), implementing DG (Domain generalization) methods with photos, sketches, cartoons, and paintings presents a significant challenge for future research. Besides, Bleiker ( 2018 ) uses the cGAN model and Wasserstein distance to overcome model collapse and outperforms other image-to-image methods on various sketch datasets. Other research discusses another function of visual media, especially in politics, medicine, and disaster. Visual global politics has the function of visualizing and exploring several international events and politics as a resource to enhance students, scholars, and practitioners’ understanding (Liu et al. 2018 ). Bossu et al. ( 2018 ) conducted EMSC websites or the LastQuake app to reduce anxiety by providing timely information and services to eyewitnesses, potentially contributing to immediate global seismic risk reduction. The study conducted by Volante et al. ( 2016 ) suggests that virtual human appearance can affect critical emotional reactions and users’ perceptions of the virtual interlocutors. In other words, there are several clusters in visual media learning research.

In Fig. 8 , six related clusters are visualized, while Fig. 9 presents the distribution of keywords used in research over the last ten years. In short, the latest research on visual media still needs to discuss more research regarding the implementation of digital technology to help create visual media and its benefits for students (changes in skills and measurement of knowledge) as users of visual learning media.

How to Create Visual Media (Red)

Currently, the animation is created using a computer. The animation looks more modern and has more volume (three-dimensional), high accuracy, and natural character element visualization thanks to interactive computer graphics (Wiana et al. 2018 ). As multimedia, text, audio, graphs, visual effects, sound effects, image texture, and interaction are all included in the animation, by the time the animation is produced, the shareability of co-participants experiences has already been established (Cantarutti, 2022 ). Interactive multimedia has the potential to accommodate users with a variety of learning styles and internet-based education.

Figure 10 illustrates one method of creating motion graphics in visual media and e-learning (Wiana et al. 2018 ). 3D modeling software (Pillen and Matthews, 2022 ), MappleSim Software (Tsegay et al. 2022 ), Blender (De Vries et al. 2022 ), 3D printers, Sketchfab (Aristov et al. 2022 ), and other applications and software are frequently used to create digital cartoons, digital comics, and animation. In the previous discussion, we explained several examples of methods used by world researchers in creating their visual media. Factor and method animation, such as textures, decomposition, compression, and color, were part of the red cluster (Ding and Xie, 2020 ). The digital cartoons, animation, and digital comics are all types of images that require an algorithm and application or software to create (Wiana et al. 2018 ; Pillen and Matthews, 2022 ; Tsegay et al. 2022 ; De Vries et al. 2022 ; Aristov et al. 2022 ).

Characteristics of Research Sample (Green)

This cluster is focused on research sample characteristics such as adult, female, child, and male keywords. Visual media learning was used in behavior research and social science-humanities (see Fig. 11 ). For example, Volante et al. ( 2016 ) examines the interrelationship between visual media and social-emotional variables. The findings show that while harmful affect levels were much lower in the visually realistic condition, male participants showed higher arousal levels in all circumstances. Participants had varying responses regarding social-emotional variables such as shyness, presence, perceived personality, and enjoyment-joy. In addition, research focused on children, females, adults, and other characteristics around 2020. This cluster is also related to technology implementation and education in the next cluster.

Technologies to support research (Dark Blue)

In 2020, research focused on factors that go into creating digital multimedia, such as animation, cartoons, digital devices, AI and VR (see Fig. 12 ). Both can combine real-time and interactive visualization concepts (Chen et al. 2019 ; Prahani et al. 2022 ). Virtual reality can be applied to visualization and e-learning (Pangaribuan and Zulkarnain, 2021 ). Animation, comics, and cartoons are linked to deep learning, human-computer interaction, and education (see Figs. 13 and 14 ). As a type of multimedia digital learning, they have enabled students to use digital learning to learn anywhere and at any time (Cantarutti, 2022 ).

Type of research (Blue) and learning systems (Green)

Students’ participation, activity, and understanding can increase using digital visual media such as digital comics, animation, or digital cartoons (Suprapto et al. 2021 ; Yanuarti and Suprapto, 2021 ). That is related to the current condition in which devices and human activity users are integrated into technology (Prahani et al. 2022 ). There is currently game-based learning or gamification (Sukstrienwong, 2018 ). Digital visual media is also related to behavioral integrated surveys (see Fig. 15 ). Behavioral surveys are self-reported, subjective accounts of individual actions affecting well-being (Moss et al. 2023 ). They are crucial for identifying community issues, improving public awareness, and identifying potential solutions.

Cartoon and the making process.

Digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons are most used in education research. It has recently been used as visual-digital media that increased multiple intelligence and literacy (Utomo and Ahsanah, 2020 ; Febriani et al. 2021 ; Kumar et al. 2019 ; Martzoukou, 2020 ). When learning combined with visual media, learners enjoy and are interested in watching digital media (digital cartoons, animation, or digital comics) so learners directly provide factual knowledge (Kühl, 2021 ). Implementing of digital media, such as digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons, is becoming more widespread (Ding and Xie, 2020 ). Digital comics are made in several stages to produce high-quality and compact comics. Bold colors can express more information and enhance the human visual experience (Chen et al. 2019 ; Chen et al. 2022 ). Liu et al. ( 2018 ) use visual media to improve the knowledge and awareness of students, academics, and practitioners of international events and politics.

Table 5 informs the similarities and differences between digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons. Overall, there are similarities in several studies on digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons, such as using the same learning model. Several international researchers use (Problem-Based Learning) PBL and inquiry learning with digital visual media. They use a visual concept of digital media based on contextual problems with different dependent variables (indicators of students’ skills and knowledge). Many studies also report RnD research using pre-posttest design, interviews, and questionnaire models to analyze student responses using comics, animation, and digital cartoons. Jamal et al. ( 2019 ) reported using cartoon concepts in problem-based learning. Many international authors provide a scenario for students to discuss everyday life problems, but the cartoonization of these scenarios is not explicitly provided. The content activity in modules is similar but with different scenarios.

Conclusions

This study can complement future research by providing new information for librarians, researchers, educators, digital developers, and policymakers to advance digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons and create a Scopus document. The most recent research on digital comics, animation, and cartoons was published in 2022, primarily in China, and authored by Dong Hao Li. Zhejiang University is the most productive affiliation. The primary source for this research is the Journal Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons are different in their functions, devices, packaging, types, content, and access.

Further research can be developed based on the scope of computer science and social sciences, especially research on student behavior. Further research can also develop and integrate this product into various technologies such as AI, AR, and others. From 2013 to the present, studies about digital comics, animation, and digital cartoons have been conducted in education. Future researchers can collaborate with Google Scholar or the Web of Science data for in-depth analysis.

Various factors have been found responsible for the increment in ecological footprint resulting difficulties in maintaining environmental sustainability. This has been noticed through a modeling perspective. Identifying the factors affecting Ecological Footprint helps policymakers to formulate policies regarding sustainability. However, studies conducted based upon systematic reviews on Ecological Footprint through modeling are still limited. Objective: This study intends to identify influential factors associated with ecological footprint through a systematic review. Methods: ProQuest, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were used to search literature systematically. Particular keywords and Boolean operators were applied to dig out relevant studies for the review. Peer-reviewed research articles published in the English language till September 13, 2023, were incorporated for the analysis. Following the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), 1011 articles were identified from four different databases and only 37 research papers were eligible for this study. These articles were assessed and relevant information was extracted and then amalgamated into the systematic review. Results: Gross domestic product, urbanization, energy consumption, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, natural resources, bio-capacity, human capital, foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial development were observed as key factors of the ecological footprint. Conclusion: Factors known to influence ecological footprint need to be addressed properly for environmental sustainability including widespread use of renewable energy.

Introduction During the last decade the Quebec Public Health Care System (QPHCS) had an important transformation in primary care planning activity. The increase of the service demand together with a significant reduction of supply in primary care may be at risk of reducing access to health care services, with a negative impact on costs and health outcomes. The aims of this systematic literature review are to map and aggregate existing literature and evidence on the primary care provided in Quebec, showing the benefits and limitations associated with the health policies developed in the last two decades, and highlighting areas of improvement.

Methods and analysis PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and CINAHL will be searched for articles and government reports between January 2000 and January 2022 using a prespecified search strategy. This protocol adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis for Protocols and has been registered with PROSPERO. A wide range of electronic databases and grey literature sources will be systematically searched using predefined keywords. The review will include any study design, with the exclusion of protocols, with a focus on the analysis of health care policies, outcomes, costs and management of the primary health care services, published in either English or French languages. Two authors will independently screen titles, abstracts, full-text articles and select studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A customised data extraction form will be used to extract data from the included studies. Results will be presented in tabular format developed iteratively by the research team.

Ethics and dissemination Research ethics approval is not required as exclusively secondary data will be used. Review findings will synthesise the characteristics and the impact of the reforms of QPHCS of the last two decades. Findings will therefore be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and through discussions with stakeholders.

Strengths and limitations of this study

This systematic review protocol follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols guidelines.

The search algorithm was developed by an experienced librarian and customised to four large databases, including any type of grey literature.

The certainty of the evidence of this systematic review may be limited by the limited number of studies available and the possible low quality of the individual studies.

We aim to create the most comprehensive systematic review providing a comprehensive view and analysis of the primary care in Quebec Public Health are System and its impact on costs, outcomes, accessibility, equity and health organisation.

The systematic literature review will consider only studies published from 2000 onwards and those published in French and English languages.

Primary health care services represent an important element in public health care systems. As reported by the WHO ‘Primary Health Care (PHC) is a whole-of-society approach to health that aims at ensuring the highest possible level of health and well-being and their equitable distribution by focusing on people’s needs and as early as possible along the continuum from health promotion and disease prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care, and as close as feasible to people’s everyday environment ’ . 1 PHC is the most inclusive, equitable, cost-effective and efficient approach to enhance people’s physical and mental health, as well as social well-being. A strong primary health care presents lower health costs, better population health, higher patient satisfaction, fewer inappropriate and unnecessary hospital admissions, better rates of screening and early detection of chronic diseases, better patient follow-up for patients, a better management of patients with multimorbidity and finally greater socioeconomic equity. 2–8

The PHC services include the general practitioners (GP) or family physicians, who represent generally the first point of contact of individuals with the healthcare system, and focus care on the individual within the community, delivering services across the entire spectrum of care (eg, mental health, preventive medicine, respiratory diseases). They play an important role in health promotion and illness prevention, coordinating care with other specialties and health professionals and advocating on behalf of their patients with respect to the care and services they need in all parts of the health care system. The importance of GPs for patients is highlighted in the international literature. 9–14 The physician’s personal commitment to the patient is one of the most important determinants of the patient’s sense of safety, and it has a large impact on the patient’s decision to consult a specialist or to access an emergency department (ED). 15

Canada has a decentralised and universal publicly funded health care system with the funding and administrations of health care primarily managed by the 13 provinces and territories and the entire country. Each province has its own insurance plan and each province receives money and assistance from the federal government on a per-capita basis. Each system is managed publicly and it is accessible to any citizen (universally). Each provincial government is responsible for the management, organisation and delivery of health care services for Canadians. The insurance plans developed by each province must meet the standards of the Canadian Health Act to access federal funds.

Two reforms were introduced in the early 2000s (Family Medicine Group in 2003 and Bill 20 in 2015) aimed at maximising medical and financial resource use in order to improve the patient access in primary care. 16 17 However, actually the accessibility to primary care for patients still represents a public health issue in Québec ( online supplemental material S1 ). In addition, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemics, the accessibility to primary health care worsened. 18 This problem was already reported previously 19–22 and it still represent a challenge for the government. 23 24

Supplemental material

The aim of this work consists in studying, through this systematic literature review, the last two decades of the Quebec Public Health Care System (QPHCS) primary care and the impact of the reforms developed on health organisation, costs, health outcomes, accessibility, equity and services, considering health care system perspective.

Methods and analysis

This protocol has been prepared using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guidelines, 25 as shown in PRISMA-P checklist ( online supplemental material S2 ). Important amendments made to the protocol will be documented and published alongside the results of the systematic review.

Research question

This systematic literature review will synthesise the scientific literature on interventions that have been developed in QPHCS, focusing on primary care and GPs activities, together with a collection of the evidence for assessing health outcomes, costs, equity and accessibility for Quebec adult population.

Eligibility criteria

The criteria for the study selection will be based on studies that will explicitly analyse the impact of any policy implementation or activity provided where GPs or family doctors are included, together with the information about corresponding health outcomes, costs, accessibility or performance on system organisation.

Study design/characteristics

Target studies will include meta-analysis, systematic review, randomised controlled trial, cohort study (prospective observational study), case-control study, cross-sectional study, case reports, series, quasi-experimental design, difference in difference analysis, natural experiments, regression discontinuity design that show the impact of GP activities on health outcomes, costs, accessibility, health organisation and management, services in QPHCS. We will also consider summary papers, government and public health reports and other analyses to identify relevant primary papers. Study protocols will not be considered in this systematic literature review.

Information sources

A research of academic databases including: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) will be performed by an author experienced in conducting systematic reviews (FB). The search will look for potentially relevant articles using predefined strategies ( online supplemental material S3 ). A manual search of the reference lists of the studies will be performed in order to check for any additional possible relevant articles. The manual search will be based on backward snowballing search that will involve search of the reference list of the articles selected and identified. In addition, for some of the relevant journals a hand search will be performed to ensure a saturation of the literature. Grey literature will be included in order to explore all the available documentation published. Studies will be excluded if they do not investigate on QPHCS.

Search strategy

The search strategy ( table 1 ) will be reviewed by the first (PL) and the second (J-DL) author, together with the supervision of the third author who is a medical librarian able to provide the support and the guidance on search terms and strategies (FB). The search strategy will combine MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms and free text words such as (Primary Health Care OR Primary Care OR Primary Healthcare OR Family Physicians OR Family Practitioner OR General Practitioners OR General Practice AND Health Services Needs and Demand OR Health Services Accessibility OR Delivery of Health Care OR Health Care Reform OR Health Policy OR Appointments and Schedules OR Mass Screening/organization and administration OR Outcome and Process Assessment, Health Care OR Quality Indicators, Health Care OR Waiting Lists OR Health Policy OR Healthcare Policy OR National Policy OR Healthcare Delivery OR delivery of care OR Health access OR Healthcare access OR Health Care Reform OR primary care demand OR Health demand OR care demand AND Quebec). The search strategy will have filters limiting studies to 2000 onwards, and studies published in English or French. The time limitation is chosen as by the early 2000s, the Family Medicine Groups were introduced as a new primary care model. The literature review searches will be updated at the end of the search process. In addition, using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Timing and Study design strategy, 26 27 we elaborated the guiding question of this review to ensure the systematic search of available literature: ‘What is the impact of last two decades of primary health care reforms for GP activities on health outcomes, costs, equity and accessibility for Quebec adult population?’.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Screening, data collection and extraction

The abstracts and full-text articles retrieved from the search strategy will be undertaken using Covidence ( www.covidence.org ), 28 an online systematic review tool recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration, and duplicates will be removed. Two authors (PL and J-DL) will independently assess titles and abstracts of records, and exclude articles that will not meet eligibility criteria. Disagreements between the selected papers made by the two authors will be resolved by discussion or by a third author SAK, J-BG, AC, MR or ET). Four authors will independently extract and record data from included studies using a predefined data extraction form (PL, J-DL, J-BG and MR).

The authors will pilot the data extraction form with a sample of a limited number of papers (10) and amendments will be made as necessary. After the evaluation of piloting, the data extraction will be developed and completed. The data extraction form will include the information reported in the online supplemental material S4 . Other additional information will be included during the review process. If additional information will be required from the studies, study authors will be contacted. At the end of data extraction, four authors (PL, J-DL, J-BG and MR) will resolve any discrepancies that will be present by applying a consensus-based decision, or if necessary, discussion with a fifth author (AC).

Data synthesis will be undertaken through a narrative approach, providing detailed written commentary on the data extracted previously. This will help in the understanding of the impact of GPs activity to the delivery of care and the related issues. In addition, summary tables will be used to present data in a structured format. We will use a convergent synthesis design to synthesise qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method results. 29 Thus, using a thematic synthesis procedure, we will synthesise the evidence from the selected studies.

Quality assessment

Two independent authors (PL and J-DL) will assess the methodological quality of eligible studies. Two independent authors will score the selected studies and disagreements will be resolved by a third author (SAK, J-BG, AC, MR or ET). For quality assessment we will use the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), which is a critical appraisal tool that is designed for the appraisal stage of systematic mixed studies reviews that include qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods studies. It enables the appraisal of five categories of methodologies such as qualitative research, randomised controlled trials, non-randomised studies, quantitative descriptive studies, and mixed methods studies ( online supplemental material S5 ). 30

Cumulative evidence

We will use the MMAT approach to assess the certainty of the evidence for each study, and will present the data results on the MMAT rating tables.

To our knowledge, this systematic review will be the first to synthesise the available evidence on the impact of the last two decades’ reforms on primary health care organisations in Quebec evaluating several dimensions (eg, costs, health outcomes, services accessibility, equity). The results of this review will also inform policymakers and leaders of Quebec public health. Our results may highlight gaps in knowledge and guide future research concerned with the primary health care organisation in Quebec.

Patient and public involvement

Patients were not directly involved in the design of this study. As this is a protocol for a systematic literature review and no participant recruitment will take place, their involvement in the recruitment and dissemination of findings to participants was not applicable.

Ethics and dissemination

This study does not require the ethical review as it is a systematic literature review. The objective is submitting this work and its future development to a peer-reviewed journal and presenting the main findings at Quebec government, national and international meetings and conferences.

Artificial neural network application in construction and the built environment: a bibliometric analysis.

1. Introduction

• A quantitative analysis identifies the critical authors and journal articles from emerging regions that have had the most significant influence on ANNs in construction and the built environment over the past two decades.
• Identify the key growth areas in research on ANNs in the built environment.
• Recognize the structure of the knowledge base on ANNs in the built environment.
• Reveal the areas that need further investigation by identifying the gaps in knowledge.
• Identify the directions of future research.

2. Methodology: Multi-Stage Critical Literature Review

2.1. phase 1: data collection, 2.2. phase 2: quantitative analysis stage, 2.3. phase 3: qualitative analysis stage, 3. quantitative analysis and scientometrics, 3.1. authorship analysis, 3.1.1. active countries, 3.1.2. co-authors analysis, 3.2. citation analysis, 3.2.1. journals citation analysis, 3.2.2. articles citation analysis, 3.3. authors’ keywords analysis, 3.3.1. co-occurrence analysis, 3.3.2. thematic clusters.

• Cluster one—“Red”: the largest cluster has 42 keywords. It is more related to the basics of the artificial neural networks within the early years of ANN integration in the AEC section, as it refers to research themes between 2007 and 2016 [ 13 , 15 ]. It includes keywords related to themes such as the construction industry and numerical models for data analysis. The construction theme focuses on construction management, concrete strength analysis, demolition waste estimates, labor productivity, and personnel issues on site. The second theme includes studies that use ANN algorithms for the prediction analysis for cost, behavior, and risk assessment. It includes keywords for fuzzy logic/sets, regression analysis, decision support systems, ensemble algorithms, genetic algorithms, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS).
• Cluster two—“Green”: this cluster (34 keywords) has one major theme that includes the typical hierarchy of artificial intelligence, including machine learning, deep learning, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). On the other hand, it includes a construction safety theme [ 55 , 56 ]. The CNN theme is connected to all computer vision, remote sensing, and semantic analysis [ 57 , 58 , 59 ]. CNNs are also for building/urban extraction studies, the newest study fields in urban and built environments [ 60 , 61 ]. The second theme is an extension of the construction industry that shifted more towards construction safety [ 62 , 63 ] and cost estimations [ 64 , 65 ] within different project phases, not only the initial or conceptual phases.
• Cluster three—“Blue”: the cluster has three main themes: energy consumption, thermal comfort, and occupant behavior [ 66 , 67 ]. They are interconnected with keywords such as BMS, IoT, smart/intelligent, and homes/grid [ 37 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. The interrelation between the three themes aligns with the significance of a holistic approach to serve each other towards adequate, sustainable, and energy-considered “building design” [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ].
• Cluster four—“Yellow”: this cluster shows a greater focus on energy management and modelling systems based on HVAC controls. This cluster focuses on a group of algorithms such as long short-term memory (LSTM) [ 75 ], pattern recognition [ 76 ], recurrent neural networks [ 77 ], and random forest [ 78 , 79 ].
• Cluster five—“Grey”: the highest co-occurrence and length strength in this cluster is “energy efficiency” and then “data-driven” models. It refers to the set of publications that were published between 2018 and 2020. It ensures the track of development within this area using ML and ANN through models such as multiple regression analysis, support vector regression, and transfer learning. Thus, it helped to improve the energy models’ simulation efficiency and prediction accuracy.
• Cluster six—“Cyan”: this seems to be the smallest cluster with only 18 keywords; however, it was considered the core cluster in this analysis. It includes the primary keyword ANN together with major concepts of deep neural networks, genetic algorithms, digital twins, life cycle assessment, and sustainability [ 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ].
• (2007–2014); represents the start of the integration of the ANN models into the AEC sector depending on the numerical models for data management, analysis, and forecasting over very considered phases of the construction project feasibility study or energy consumption analysis.
• (2014–2018); the intermediate phase, which followed the evolution of the concept of the IoT and publications, appears to integrate ANN, ML, and deep learning with three main themes: demand response within smart buildings, energy models, and the integration with BMS as a complementary approach for the IoT.
• (2018–Present)In recent years, the rate of trial experiments on the various core themes mentioned has been increasing in alignment with digital transformation. There is a paradigm shift that makes use of the development of remote-sensing technologies, which impose CNN and its related applications, such as computer vision, image processing, and semantic analysis.

4.1. Energy Management in Buildings

4.1.1. predicting energy consumption, 4.1.2. improving energy performance, 4.2. occupant comfort in buildings, 4.2.1. thermal comfort of occupants, 4.2.2. modelling occupant behavior, 4.3. design & construction optimization, 4.3.1. building design optimization, 4.3.2. construction material optimization, 4.4. cost prediction, 4.5. health and safety in construction, 4.5.1. safety of workers, 4.5.2. safety of structures, 4.6. soil mechanics, 5. discussion, 5.1. broadening the application ranges of ann into the current construction 4.0 technologies.

• Robotics: To date, limited research has addressed artificial intelligence applications in robotics and automated systems in construction. It is a fertile area for future study as ANNs exhibit capabilities such as adaptive learning, pattern recognition, and real-time operation [ 26 ]. These ANN capabilities can help to develop advanced robotic systems to perform several tasks in the construction industry. The findings derived from the scientometric analysis suggest a lack of studies addressing and assessing the risks faced by construction workers. Section 4.5 in the qualitative analysis shows how the safety of workers in construction sites is monitored using ANN applications, with a need for studies on using these applications in robotic systems that can replace workers in performing arduous and dangerous tasks.
• 3D Printing: Another possible area of future research would be to investigate applying ANN in 3D printing due to its capability to process large datasets and its powerful computational ability. 3D printing technology has more potential for application with BIM development [ 222 ]. Although this technology is still in its infancy in the construction industry, it would be interesting to investigate the association between ANNs and BIM technology to produce 3D-printed buildings from a BIM model in future studies.
• Digital Twins: Digital twins are identified as a “digital copy of a physical asset, collecting real-time data from the asset and deriving information not being measured directly in the hardware” [ 223 ]. This is a potentially abundant research area as the models of existing structures can be enriched dynamically by incorporating the capabilities of ANNs into training existing building data linked with real-time IoT data. Also, the current shift from building-centered to human-centered approaches adds more complexity to the application capabilities of this technology [ 224 ].
• VR Applications: Future studies can explore the combined advantages of machine learning and VR applications to develop an intelligent system that assists in various tasks in the construction industry to improve design and safety.

5.2. Constructing ANN Applications Research in Developing Countries

5.3. potential areas for improvement in the application of neural networks.

• Prevention of overestimation in ANNs: a limitation of developing ANN models is that ANNs build the models automatically after being fed raw data. This leads to the potential risk of overestimation due to the pseudorandom nature of trained datasets [ 225 ]. Further research areas can delve into the avoidance of overestimation.
• Selection of datasets: an additional weakness is the selection of adequate training datasets. Future studies, including dataset inclusion criteria, would be worthwhile.

6. Future Perspectives
