This paper presents a bibliometric analysis examining investment patterns in diverse economies and their relationship with global financial transformations. The study spans from 1964 to 2024, utilising data from the Web of Science (WoS) and analysed with R Studio and CiteSpace to identify trends and shifts in academic focus on investment strategies. A dataset of 1595 articles from 554 sources was processed, revealing key trends and shifts in investment patterns across different regions. The research highlights a notable rise in academic interest since 2015, with an 8.46% annual growth rate in publications. Methodologically, thematic evolution and network visualisation techniques were used to track collaboration patterns and emerging topics. For instance, 40.94% of the articles involved international co-authorship, emphasising global interest in investment dynamics. The study reveals critical insights into foreign direct investment (FDI) trends, particularly in developing and transitional economies, and how various global financial events influence investment behaviours. The average citation rate of 2.7 per article further underscores the significance of this field. The analysis confirms that investment patterns are crucial to understanding global economic transformations, providing a foundation for policymakers to craft economic strategies aimed at promoting balanced and sustained investment growth.

The study deals with the important question of how educational reforms affect healthcare competitiveness, especially when it comes to medical education. The primary study goal is to investigate the connection between improvements to the educational system and the calibre of medical care. To provide a thorough examination of trends over previous ten years, the study focusses on a dataset of 2,646 articles published between 2013 and 2023, taken from the WoS and Scopus databases. The necessity to record current and pertinent advancements in medical education and healthcare justifies the selection of this time frame. The CiteSpace and Biblioshiny programs were applied to conduct a bibliometric analysis, enabling the identification and visualisation of significant patterns and trends in the literature. The research hypothesis was verified by the analysis, which showed a strong association between educational changes and increases in healthcare quality. According to the report, health literacy, health disparities, and medical education are the most important topics. Improving healthcare competitiveness depends on these areas. Policymakers, educators, and healthcare administrators can benefit from the research findings because they offer evidence-based perspectives that can direct future medical education reforms to enhance healthcare outcomes and system competitiveness. The results also point to potential prospects for future investigation, especially when evaluating the long-term effects of educational reforms on international healthcare systems.

This article conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine the scholarly discourse on educational resilience in the context of armed conflicts. It has explored how educational systems adapt, persist, and recover in adversity. The Biblioshiny App, the R programme Bibliometrix, the VOSviewer 1.6.16, and the Scopus tools were utilised. The analysis spans publications from 2000 to 2024, focusing on keywords such as “educational resilience”, “education recovery”, “armed conflicts”, “war”, “violence”, and “military conflicts”. The scope of the analysis was restricted to conference proceedings, books, and articles; other kinds of publications were not included. Given the wide range of geographic origins implied by the emphasis on emerging and frontier markets, no language limits were placed. There were no limitations on the research’s scope because the subject is transdisciplinary. 2,797 papers were chosen for analysis from the Scopus database based on these criteria. The study highlights the evolution of research themes, noting significant growth in publication activity post-2014 and topic changing post-2017, with notable contributions from researchers in conflict-affected regions. An analysis of the dynamics of public interest in the topic of educational recovery, conducted with the help of Google Trends, showed that the peak of interest fell in January 2022 (educational rehabilitation after the pandemic). More than 70% of the papers fall into the top three subject areas ‒ Social Sciences, Medicine, and Arts and Humanities ‒ which confirms the interdisciplinary nature of research on educational resilience in crisis situations. Most scientists on this topic are affiliated with the United States, the United Kingdom, India, China, and Australia. The United States and the United Kingdom have the longest histories of collaborative publications. The co-authorship analysis revealed that the most powerful regional cooperation network is formed by Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The clustering of studies by keywords showed that the most powerful is a cluster of studies devoted to the impact of conflict on educational systems, resilience and recovery strategies, and political implications for education in emergencies.

The article uses R Studio Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and Connected Papers to structure the scientific work of scientists on the development of educational systems during socio-economic, political, migration, pandemic, and climate crises in the 2020s. The research is based on more than 970 publications (articles, conference abstracts, monographs, and their sections) indexed by Scopus in 2020–2024, selected by keywords: "educational crisis," "education policy response," "education disruption," and "learning loss." The publication activity grew at an annual rate of 16.45%, peaking in 2023, while the peak of public interest (determined by Google Trends) was in 2022. The study consists of seven parts: the first examines shifts and patterns in the fields of educational crisis; the second analyzes influential publications; the third identifies key research institutions; the fourth explores various counties; the fifth highlights prominent researchers in these fields; the sixth delves into key areas of study; and the seventh uncovers core themes and insights in the research. The study identifies a number of important areas of concentration for the study of educational crises from a thematic perspective. These include education disruption and learning loss, and the broader impact of these issues on inclusive growth and sustainable development. Among all the crises that took place in the world in 2020–2024, COVID-19 and the full-scale war in Ukraine had the greatest impact on the transformation of education systems. China and the United States dominate the world in terms of publication activity and citation of articles by scientists from these countries (their point of view actually determines the emphasis with which the scientific world speaks about challenges in education), while scientists from Australia, India, and the United Kingdom have significantly increased their research activity in this area over the study period. The findings of this study are aimed at understanding the causes and consequences of educational crises and formulating recovery plans to mitigate global risks.

The paper examines, using the example of Ukraine from 2003 to 2020, how and to what extent the development of various segments of the insurance market (risk insurance, life insurance, and reinsurance) influences the overall level of social progress. It also identifies the time gaps through which this influence manifests. The study creates a single measure that looks at various aspects such as social class differences, spending patterns, income changes, and government social spending (their standardized values, weighed by the principal component method, integrated through additive convolution). Using VAR modeling, the impact of the development indicators of different segments of the insurance market (risk insurance, life insurance, and reinsurance) at the current moment and with lags of one, two, and three years is investigated, as well as the level of social progress in Ukraine in previous years. The modeling confirms that social reforms yield significant results for social progress only after three years, similarly to the increase in the number of insurance companies. Given insurers’ assets and payout levels, their growth in life insurance has a faster impact on social progress than in risk, while the opposite is true for premiums. Insurance premiums transferred to Ukrainian reinsurers negatively and slowly (over three years) affect social progress, and to non-resident reinsurers – positively and faster (within a year). Across most indicators, life insurance not only influences Ukraine’s social progress more quickly than others but also provides a more substantial social effect.
