Data: Trends and Hot Topics in Gamification in Education- a bibliometric analysis from 1953 to 2019

Bibliometric analysis is an approach to analyse academic literatures based on metrics such as citations. The software HistCite helps reveal the top leading scholars, the journals in the target field, the most cited documents, key words, numbers of yearly output, document types of the published documents, language, institutions contributing in the field, and countries of the authors in the given field. The software HistCite also generates historiography which presents the relationships among the most highly cited articles.
