Therefore, a bibliometric research was carried out on weak signals and correlated matters between 1980 and 2010 and was supported by the literature review about the subject. The suggested analysis contributes to greater academic knowledge on productivity in the field, providing a broad perspective for future researchers who catch sight of this subject as a potential for further studies.展开更多
