Abstract

Despite the need to track research on gamification for the development of environmental awareness, little attention has so far been paid to the scientometric description of this fast-growing research field. This paper explores through scientific visualizations, intellectual structures and developments by means of a cross-sectional analysis of the scientific literature within this field of knowledge, based on metadata extracted from WoS Clarivate.

To this end, the examination of citations and patterns expressed within cocitation analysis is used to identify both the patterns of highly cited topics, documents, journals and authors, which constitute the basis of this field of knowledge, as well as emerging trends in gamification research for environmental awareness.

As a result, an overview of the research field is obtained from the construction of topic maps, the recognition of disciplines and institutions that are the source of the most influential contributions and the structure of the intellectual networks that connect the main journals and authors within invisible schools. VOSviewer is used to characterize the links within scientific research networks.
