Summary
This study maps 80 years of global talent identification (TI) research, revealing its concentration in management, sports, and education. It highlights interdisciplinary connections and emerging trends like equity and technology in TI.
Area of Science:
- Multidisciplinary research on talent identification (TI).
- Covers management, business, leadership, sports science, education, psychology, and STEM fields.
- Analyzes global research trends over 80 years.
Background:
- Talent identification (TI) research spans multiple disciplines.
- Understanding the evolution and impact of TI research is crucial.
- Previous research has not comprehensively mapped TI's interdisciplinary landscape.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the status, trends, and evolution of talent identification (TI) research globally over the last 80 years.
- To explore productivity, collaboration, and knowledge structures in TI research.
- To identify research gaps and future opportunities in TI.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 2,502 documents from Scopus and Web of Science databases.
- Exploration of productivity, collaboration, and knowledge structures.
- Thematic evolution analysis to trace research themes.
Main Results:
- TI research is concentrated in management/business/leadership (37%), sports/sports science (20%), and education/psychology/STEM (23%).
- Independent research in management and sports science, while psychology and education act as bridges.
- Established themes include assessment, cognitive abilities, fitness, and youth characteristics; emerging themes focus on equity, diversity, and technology.
Conclusions:
- TI research has a significant presence across diverse fields, with psychology and education facilitating interdisciplinary connections.
- The study identifies key contributors and influential sources, providing a foundation for future TI research.
- Future research should explore equity, diversity, and technological innovations in talent identification and management.

Genomics
36.5K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry
5.0K
Mass spectrometry is a powerful characterization technique that can identify and separate a wide variety of compounds ranging from chemical to biological entities, based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). The instruments that allow this detection, known as mass spectrometers, have three components: an ion source, a mass analyzer, and a detector. These spectrometers differ based on the nature of their ion source and analyzers.

Empathy
9.6K
Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Genetic Screens
5.0K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
148
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
