Abstract

Purpose: This study collected and analyzed trends in port logistics research conducted abroad. The trend analysis results were compared with the trends in domestic port and port logistics research to examine the similarities and differences. Research design, data, and methodology: The analysis methods used are SLNA and NLP in parallel. The analysis period covered the literature on port logistics conducted abroad from 2000 to 2019. The literature was limited to peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, and review articles. One thousand and nineteen international documents were collected and finally classified. NLP analysis was conducted using the abstract data from these 1,019 documents. Results: The analysis revealed the top keywords: Container, Model, Development, Cost, Transport, Efficiency, and Maritime. The keywords related to economic studies, such as container terminals, models, and costs, were among the top keywords. The key research topics were analyzed through LDA analysis. The core research topics in international port logistics studies were identified as ‘port performance,’ ‘port issue,’ ‘port operation,’ ‘cargo transportation,’ ‘regional economy,’ and ‘port and shipping strategies.’ A comparison of domestic and international studies found that many foreign studies were conducted from an econometric perspective. Conclusions: Keywords, such as port performance and port operations, were actively studied in domestic and international port research.
