Intellectual Structure and Publication Pattern in Journal of Global Information Management

Abstract

The Journal of Global Information Management has been publishing high-quality research related to information systems since 1993. The current study provides a retrospective of its magnificent journey. The study recognizes prominent authors, institutions, countries, and publications of JGIM using bibliometric analysis. D.C. Yen and M. Srite are the most productive and influential authors of the journal, while the National University of Singapore is the most contributing institution. The USA emerges as the leading contributor to the journal; however, China exhibits a large number of collaboration links. Along with the description of these trends, the study employs graphical analysis to investigate collaboration links among authors, affiliated institutions, and countries. Furthermore, the study examines the intellectual similarity structures among the authors and countries through the bibliographic coupling. The selected publications have been clustered into six groups based on the similarity of the reference list. The evolution of these themes over time has also been discussed.
