Twenty-five years of “E&M Economics and Management”: A bibliometric analysis

E&M Economics and Management (E&M), originally founded in 1998, is dedicated to promoting advancements in the fields of Economics and Management based on theoretical and empirical analyses. Motivated by its 25th anniversary in 2023, this paper utilizes bibliometrics to make a comprehensive analysis of publications of the E&M that are included in Social Sciences Edition of the Web of Science (WoS). First, we make a performance analysis of the related publications to present the development and distribution of the E&M publications between January 2008 and April 2022 from the aspects of publication and citation structure. Second, a visual analysis of the literature called science-mapping analysis is implemented to display the structural and dynamic organization of knowledge of the E&M publications with the help of bibliometric tools VOSviewer and Bibliometrix. Finally, the paper discusses the evolution of E&M and some of the limitations and prospects to help editors and researchers understand how E&M has evolved over time and where it can be improved. This paper also provides a model of future effective analytical methods for assessing the data from a particular journal. According to the findings, researchers throughout the world publish in this journal on a regular basis. E&M is growing significantly during twenty-five years, and is becoming one of the influential journals in the fields of Economics and Management.
