Abstract: the authors explored frequently cited articles across four peer-reviewed journals in early intervention (EI) and early childhood special education (ECSE). The Social Sciences Citation Index was used to examine journal articles from 1994 to 2005 in Early Childhood Research Quarterly, Infants and Young Children, the Journal of Early Intervention, and Topics in Early Childhood Special Education. Results for the most frequently cited El and ECSE journal articles are reported.

Abstract: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of video game exercise training (VGET) on the musculoskeletal function of older adults. The review was carried out in the PubMed, LILACS, WEB OF SCIENCE, WEB OF KNOWLEDGE, PEDro, and Cochrane CENTRAL. Sixteen controlled clinical trials were included, and the risks of bias were measured using the JADAD scale. There was no evidence that VGET might be effective on functional mobility ( standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.13 to 0.59) or on balanced self-efficacy (SMD = 0.15, 95% CI: -0.29 to 0.60). Future randomized controlled trials with greater methodological rigor, focusing on the parameters used to prescribe the exercises, are necessary.

Abstract: the purpose of this paper is to investigate core themes in the quality management research area through a quantitative analysis of research papers published in the journal Total Quality Management and Business Excellence. The study analyses the bibliographies in the published papers in addition to conventional literature reviews. The methodologies applied include bibliometrics and social network techniques. The analysis shows relationships between different publications and the developments over three periods. Core research themes are found to be service quality measurement, customer satisfaction, total quality management (TQM) implementation and effects. Emerging themes are also identified and include establishing customer relations and perceived quality of service, quality cost, comparison studies and empirical studies of TQM effects. The development of the research themes over the three pre-defined periods is also discussed.

Abstract: While many past studies focus on quality research - especially using ‘Kano’s model’, little is known about the stream of ‘Kano’s model’. Begun as an effort to gauge the contribution to the field of ‘Kano’s model’, this study reviews 94 academic articles related to Kano’s model and appeared in 52 SSCI and SCI journals from 1998 to April 2012. In this study, we identified the keywords and conducted a survey to search for the related articles in the ISI Web of Science database and present our findings, such as the numbers of publications by years, categorisations of article types, key publication venues and contributors, and articles cited most. Our study showed that the amount of articles about ‘Kano’s model’ increased from 1998 to the end of 2011, which indicates that the Kano’s model’s influence is an upward trend. We also find that ‘Kano’s model’ research has fascinated a number of researchers during the 14 years covered in this study. Researchers from Asia, Africa, America and Europe have made the most contributions to this field in our findings. This study provides evidence that ‘Kano’s model’ did attract academic researchers and contribute to the field of quality research.
