For showing the chronological appearance of all publications, a graph has presented in Figure 2. In this figure it can
be seen that during 2000 until 2012 ,the most papers has published in the years of 2000 and 2003(95
publications),whereas there is just minimum papers in recent years for literature review.
Separately. There has been a decline, as seen in the chronological listing of publications number in the line graph in
figure. For example it can be seen in this Figure that under the category of “Benchmarking: general reviews”, the
number of publications increased from minimum in 2003 to 10 in the next period. However, from 2003 onwards
there appears to be a drop in the number of publication.
