In this work, we used Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny to perform a bibliometric qualitative and
quantitative analysis on the main topic “microgels and nanogels”, and the sub-topic
“microgels and nanogels at interfaces and emulsions”. 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.
