A HISTORIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF MEDITATION RESEARCH OUT: A GLOBAL CONTEXT

Meditation Research in United States of America, China, England, German, Cananda and Australia, over the years 1989-2020 is analysed and compared with that in USA for number of papers, journals used and international publications. For USA and China we have also identified the key researchers and institutions. Using HistCite, the visualization technique developed by Gar field and colleagues, we have constructed the historiographs for USA and China based on both local citation scores (LCS) and global citation scores, and identified key papers. We find that the knowledge flow among different Asian countries is rather limited and that China has something to offer to India.
