Bibliometric analysis of financial crisis research
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: The bibliometric analytical approach has not yet been applied in financial crisis research. The aim of the study was to apply bibliometric analysis to financial crisis publications in 362 journals listed in the four ISI subject categories of economics, finance business, business, and management in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Analyzed parameters were publication language, document type, publication output, authorship, publication patterns, subject category distribution, region, country, publication institute, most frequently cited articles, and hot issues.This study demonstrates that the amount of research increased markedly during financial crises, especially during the Asian financial crisis and global financial crisis. Furthermore, the most frequently cited articles and topics associated with the currency crisis, policy, and banking crisis were popular during the Asian financial crisis and global financial crisis.
Key words: Scientometrics, crisis, research trend, web of science, SSCI.
