Figure 2
The illustration contains two sections arranged horizontally. The left section presents a bibliometric dashboard consisting of twelve rectangular metric boxes arranged in three rows and four columns. Each box includes a label, a numerical value, and a small icon positioned on the right side. In the first row, the first box is labeled “Timespan” and shows “2017:2024”, with an hourglass icon. The second box is labeled “Sources” and shows “27”, with list-style document icon. The third box is labeled “Documents” and shows “36”, with a layered document stack icon. The fourth box is labeled “Annual Growth Rate” and shows “42.62 percent”, with an upward arrow icon. In the second row, the first box is labeled “Authors” and shows “100”, with a single person icon. The second box is labeled “Authors of single-authored docs” and shows “3”, with a pen icon. The third box is labeled “International Co-Authorship” and shows “41.67 percent”, with a globe icon. The fourth box is labeled “Co-Authors per Doc” and shows “2.89”, with a group of people icon. In the third row, the first box is labeled “Author’s Keywords (D E)” and shows “176”, with an “A B” text icon. The second box is labeled “References” and shows “1”, with a document page icon. The third box is labeled “Document Average Age” and shows “2.47”, with a calendar icon. The fourth box is labeled “Average citations per doc” and shows “27.94”, with a speaker icon. The right section of the figure displays a line graph titled “Annual Scientific Production”. The horizontal axis is labeled “Year” and shows the years 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023 in increments of one year. The vertical axis is labeled “Articles” and ranges from 0.0 to 12.5 in increments of approximately 2.5 units. The line begins near (2017, 1) and remains at approximately (2018, 1). It then increases slightly to around (2019, 2). The value drops sharply to (2020, 0). After this point, the number of articles increases again to (2021, 2). The line then rises more noticeably to approximately (2022, 6). A sharp increase follows, reaching around (2023, 12). The value remains nearly the same at (2024, 12). The shaded region beneath the line follows the same trend as the plotted values across the years.
