Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of the paper is to analyze the development needs and opportunities in the distribution system operators’ (DSO) tariff structures in the smart-grid environment.
Design/methodology/approach
The impacts of the distribution pricing schemes for the stakeholders and their requirements for the tariff structures are evaluated by qualitative analyses. Furthermore, there is a case analysis concerning the practical development possibilities of the DSO tariff structures in Finland.
Findings
Major finding of the paper is that the demand-based power band tariff is the optimal solution for the DSO pricing structure, when taking into account the real-life limitations and the requirements of the stakeholders.
Practical implications
Outcomes of the paper can be applied in practice in design of the pricing schemes in the electricity distribution. Incentive provision impacts and cost reflectivity of the DSO tariffs can be improved by implementing the suggested pricing structure.
Originality/value
The paper provides a novel viewpoint on the study of the DSO tariff design by considering the impacts of the pricing for the stakeholders and their requirements for tariff structure. Furthermore, the real-life limitations in the tariff design have been taken into account by analyzing the development options in Finland. Results are useful, especially for the DSOs, regulators and academics, who are working with the tariff development issues.

Abstract
Purpose
Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has become a crucial concern due to its rising prevalence and potential mental health impacts, which can lead to significant psychological, social and functional impairments, affecting academic performance, relationships and overall well-being of an individual. This paper aims to evaluate the published literature on IGD, identifying its growth, prolific authors, journals, countries, collaboration patterns and emerging research hotspots.
Design/methodology/approach
The present study has used scientometrics and altmetrics approaches to evaluate the published IGD literature. The data was collected from the Scopus database using the keywords TITLE-ABS-KEY, “Internet Gaming Disorder” or “Gaming Addiction” by filtering the period of 2014–2023, “research articles” and “English” language. Dimensions.ai has been used to extract the altmetric attention score. The results showed a total of 1,454 documents. The analysis has been done using VoSviewer and MS Excel.
Findings
The results showed an upward trend in publications over time. Dr Mark Griffiths is the most productive author, and the Journal of Behavioral Addictions is prolific. China is the most productive country. The study found minimal collaboration between the authors. The results highlighted that IGD predominantly affects adolescent males, leading to anxiety and significant impacts on brain function.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, studies examining IGD research using both scientometric and altmetric approaches within the specified time frame have yet to be identified.
