Forty-five years of Journal of Business Research: A bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Journal of Business Research (JBR) is a journal of international repute that publishes original, peer-reviewed, and empirical research in business and management. Key business decisions, processes, and activities within real business settings frequently feature in JBR articles. The journal reached its 45th year of publishing in 2017. Using bibliometric techniques, we analyze the journal’s impact, its prominent topics, and its most prolific authors, including their affiliated institutions and countries. Using network analysis in VOSviewer software, we group JBR publications into six clusters. Through Gephi software, the findings depict the co-authorship and bibliographic couplings of authors and their affiliated institutions and countries, co-citations of journals, and co-occurrence of author-specified keywords.
