Abstract
The aim of the article is to determine the categories of digital resources that are actually represented in the scholarly literature on the professional development of academic staff, and to substantiate a preliminary functional matrix that links these categories to the tasks they serve within the development cycle. The study combines a bibliometric survey of the Google Scholar database with a qualitative content analysis of a purposively assembled corpus of 22 Ukrainian- and English-language sources, each unit of which was coded by language, year of publication, document type, thematic cluster, category of digital resource and declared function. The bibliometric survey returned 22,900 Ukrainian-language results for the query 'professional development of pedagogues', 11,500 for 'use of digital resources in professional development' and 1,160 for the combined query, as against 5,330,000, 7,140,000 and 2,530,000 respectively for the equivalent English-language queries. The narrowly focused query accounts for 47.5 per cent of the broad topic in the English-language segment but for only 5.1 per cent in the Ukrainian-language one, a ninefold difference in the degree to which the specific problem has been elaborated. Content analysis of the corpus distinguished six thematic clusters, the largest of which are digital competence frameworks and digital resources considered within the theory of professional development, and identified twelve categories of digital resources that serve four functions: knowledge acquisition, research visibility and publication monitoring, professional self-presentation, and collaborative interaction. Not a single source in the corpus relates particular resource categories to particular stages or organisational forms of development, and none verifies such a relationship empirically. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the first quantified comparison of the Ukrainian- and English-language segments of this research field and in the resource-function matrix derived from the corpus, which converts a descriptive enumeration of digital tools into an analytical instrument. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the matrix when designing institutional professional development programmes, individual development trajectories and in-house training for academic staff of Ukrainian universities.
The aim of this research is to examine the studies on professional development of teachers using bibliometric analysis method. Within the scope of the study, a total of 2961 articles published in 835 journals indexed by SSCI, SCI-Expanded and AHCI in the Web of Science (WoS) database were analyzed. In the research, Teaching and Teacher Education, Professional Development in Education, Computers & Education and Teacher Development journals were determined to be the journals with the highest link strength. The five researchers with the highest connection strength are T.Seida, A. Groeschner, M. Koahler, V.D. It was determined that they were Opfer and D. Pedder. The USA and USA universities are the countries and universities with the highest citation and connection power. It was determined that 707 collaboration networks were identified in 18 clusters for inter-institutional collaboration. It was determined that the authors in the blue and green color cluster were the most cited authors because they had masterpieces on professional development. In the co-word analysis, the words sustainability, elementary education, secondary education, teaching, learning strategies, 21st century abilities, improving classroom teaching, related to the word teacher professional development, are the most frequently used co-words.

Bibliometric analysis is crucial to grasp scholarly communication trends, thematic changes and knowledge organization within a field. The present study aims to examine the research trends in Library and Information Science (LIS) by analyzing the post-graduate theses stored in the National Library of Sri Lanka (NLSL). The main objectives are to explore trends in the subject, development of themes, distribution of languages, institutional involvement and time-based patterns in LIS research production. This study differs from the previous ones which followed descriptive statistical approach, as it studies the salient research themes in Sri Lankan LIS scholarship using keyword frequency analysis, title-word analysis, sub-topic categorization and keyword co-occurrence analysis. The methodology that was followed was quantitative bibliometric. A total of 73 doctoral theses, gathered from the NLSL collection between 1985 and March 2025, were analyzed. Institutional records and Koha library management system were used to get data. Analytical tools which were used were descriptive statistics, thematic categorization, title-word analysis, keyword co-occurrence mapping and trend analysis. The results indicate that English is the main language of research – almost four fifths of the theses are in English and Sinhala comes after that with a small share, while Tamil is not used in the theses at all. Thematic analysis reveals that the traditional LIS areas of university libraries, library services and collection management have been well represented, while emerging areas like digital libraries, research data management, artificial intelligence applications, information systems and knowledge management are poorly represented. The results of the analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords show that there is a strong thematic relationship between the conventional library service themes and the integration of technological themes and interdisciplinary themes is not high. It is concluded that, the research in LIS in Sri Lanka has not been evenly developed thematically, hasn't diversified much and doesn't pay enough attention to new research directions in the global arena. The research has added value to LIS field by offering a national level thematic bibliographical mapping of the LIS theses and the identification of the main research gaps from which the future academic and policy directions will arise.

Background and Purpose: This bibliometric analysis study provides a detailed analysis of the landscape of research on technology-mediated English language skills teaching and learning over the past decade. The goal is to shed light on the most popular subjects, prolific authors, publications, and countries involved. By examining 209 documents retrieved from the Scopus database from 2014-2023, this study aims to reveal significant trends and insights into the evolution of technology-mediated teaching and learning processes.
Methodology: The study utilises bibliometric analysis, with data collection conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. It employed tools such as VOSviewer, Excel, and Tableau. The research involves quantitative metrics to graphically represent publication trends, country contributions and collaborations, prolific authors, and recurring research themes.
Findings: The analysis shows a significant rise in technology-mediated English language teaching publications since 2021, led by the United States, China, and Malaysia. Key topics include e-learning, communication skills, computer-assisted teaching, pandemic's impact, speech recognition, and teaching, highlighting central themes and collaborative networks.
Contributions: It highlights critical trends and areas of focus in technology-mediated English language education. It underscores the importance of prioritising research on technological media in language education and suggests future research directions to enhance English language proficiency, particularly speaking skills.
Keywords: Bibliometric analysis, technology mediated in teaching and learning, English-speaking skills.
