Dielectric and bioimpedance spectroscopy are major non-destructive measurement systems with great potential in the technology field. All results produced by the Scopus database were used as the core of the study in hand, with different items from journals, papers and conference proceedings being taken into account. The results of this analysis show that the interest in electrical properties has risen in the last years due to the advanced technological measurements offered on the scientific level. Results show that bioimpedance studies are considerably more recent compared to dielectric studies, and are more directed towards medical purposes while dielectric spectroscopy focuses on physical aspects, and is used mostly in engineering and material science. It can be stated that bioimpendance and dielectric spectroscopy are being increasingly applied and that they have the capacity to deepen and enhance research investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications6010006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,23]],"date-time":"2018-01-23T13:06:51Z","timestamp":1516712811000},"page":"6","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Dielectric and Bioimpedance Research Studies: A Scientometric Approach Using the Scopus Database"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6484-0883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dalia","family":"El Khaled","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Engineering, University of Almeria, La Ca\u00f1ada, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8980-6163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuria","family":"Novas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Engineering, University of Almeria, La Ca\u00f1ada, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}]},{"given":"Jose-Antonio","family":"Gazquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Engineering, University of Almeria, La Ca\u00f1ada, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0085-030X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Manzano-Agugliaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Engineering, University of Almeria, La Ca\u00f1ada, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1007\/s12393-010-9019-z","article-title":"Bioimpedance: A review for food processing","volume":"2","author":"Pliquett","year":"2010","journal-title":"Food Eng.
