Figure 6 Journals clustering through Bradford’s law. According to Bradford’s Law, the logarithm of the number of ranked journals (Source log(rank)) is the horizontal coordinate, and the corresponding number of papers (Articles) is the vertical coordinate.

Figure 7 (A) The network of co-cited references. (B) The network of co-cited references clusters. Cluster size in graph (A) indicates the number of citations, reflecting the degree of attention the clusters have received. The size of the nodes in the graph (B) reflects the centrality of the article, centrality depicts the node establishing a bridge between 2 unrelated nodes, with a high mediated centrality highlighting the importance of the node in the knowledge structure.
