The Rise of Posthumanism in Marine Ecotourism: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study explores the intellectual landscape of posthumanism in the context of ecotourism and sustainability through a bibliometric and keyword co-occurrence analysis using VOSviewer. By mapping the collaboration networks of authors and countries, and visualizing the co-occurrence of key terms, the research identifies the most influential contributors, emerging thematic clusters, and interdisciplinary linkages within the field. The study reveals that authors from the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia are central to scholarly collaborations, while thematic clusters show an integration of critical theory, environmental justice, and sustainable development. Keyword analysis highlights the growing traction of philosophical and ecological terms that emphasize more-than-human perspectives in tourism research. These findings underscore the importance of rethinking traditional tourism paradigms and advocate for a more inclusive, relational, and sustainable approach to ecotourism grounded in posthumanist ethics.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
