Background Objectives Methods Results Discussion Conclusions Bibliometric methods may be used to examine research trends, and information visualisation techniques are useful in illustrating the diffusion of knowledge and how theories are applied.The present study aimed to illustrate how Orem's Self‐Care Deficiency Nursing Theory (SCDNT) has been cited and applied in nursing science and beyond.A bibliometric analysis examined scientific publications that cited Orem's nursing theory. In addition, the diffusion of SCDNT was assessed using data visualisation methods and integration scores of SCDNT versions were calculated to define trends in its theoretical usage in other scientific domains.The information visualisation demonstrated increased usage of SCDTN in different disciplines. Integration scores demonstrated that the scientific community still recognises and uses versions of SCDTN.Studying citation patterns helps to identify which publications are still cited and relevant, as well as illustrating the dissemination of theory. Findings may be used in the collection weeding of SCDTN book versions.Findings provided nursing scientists with a better conceptual understanding of SCDNT diffusion and development. For academic library managers, the findings identify which SCDNT should be retained for historical interest and curriculum needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The technological integration issue in education is examined in educational researches with its different aspects and especially in recent years, comes into a more important position all over the world. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) studies, which we confront frequently in this context, increase scientific accumulation of knowledge for using technology effectively in teaching different subject areas and provide teacher training a new dimension. In addition to the researches that contribute to form theoretic framework, application oriented studies also attract the attention. This study aims to reveal the scholarly communication of the researchers, to specify the documents and authors efficient in the field and to reveal extensive conclusions in the context of document and author by examining the researches that are conducted about TPACK. In this sense, it is thought that this study will reveal the current situation on this subject and contribute to the planning of future researches. The study is conducted with 543 documents in total which are books, reviews and researches about TPACK that are acquired from Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. By using bibliometrical method, the scholarly communication pattern in TPACK area is tackled in the context of author and document and the prominent authors and documents on yearly basis and is presented with scientific mapping method by visualizing. Thus, extensive conclusions are revealed about the documents about this subject and the authors of these documents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
