Word-counting of the titles of the publications enabled a descriptive analysis of thematic trends. A more complex conceptual analysis used the co-occurrence of words in titles, clustered into research themes with links to other themes. A thematic map allowed to characterize the centrality and density of the themes within the topic. A similar clustering of co-authorship enabled the mapping of the collaborations. We identified in this way research opportunities theme- and collaboration-wise, such as the opportunity to bring more fundamental studies into biomedical applications and into Pickering emulsions stabilized with microgels.}, organization = {FEDER A way to make Europe}, organization = {Swiss National Science Foundation (SNCF) PP00P2-172913/1 PID2020-116615RA-I00 MAT2017-82182-R IJC2018-035946-I MCIN/ AEI /10.13039/501100011033}, publisher = {Frontiers Research Foundation}, keywords = {Microgels}, keywords = {Nanogels}, keywords = {Interfaces}, keywords = {Emulsions}, keywords = {Bibliometric analysis}, title = {Microgels and Nanogels at Interfaces and Emulsions: Identifying Opportunities From a Bibliometric Analysis}, doi = {10.3389/fphy.2021.754684}, author = {Fernández Rodríguez, Miguel Ángel and Álvarez, Laura}, }
