Filter 2: Article & Review & Note.
Final number: 4,399 documents.
Computer software: VOS viewer, bibliometrix, biblioshiny and Microsoft Excel. Assessing Evaluation Performance analysis:
Rankings with bibliometric indicators according to the number of articles and citations.
Bibliometric indicators: Number of documents and citations, cites per paper, the H-index, cites per year, papers and cites per capita, and temporal classification.
Graphical analysis:
Mapping with VOS viewer and bibliometrix software.
Analysis with co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence of author keywords.
Agenda proposal method:
Present a bibliometric review of LE between 1925 and 2024.
Analyze the leading and current trends of LE.
