Abstract
Operation management, which has always been a hot topic in management research for seeking to increase the efficiency of the system using scientific methods. We use the Web of Science database to select the pertinent literature data from 2012 to 2022 with a focus on 10 significant international journals to perform the scoped literature on operation management in this paper. It then conducts a bibliometric analysis of operation management from two perspectives—main direction and development trend—using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The analysis discovered that between 2012 and 2022, 22952 papers on operation management were published in significant international journals. Of these, 4398 were written by Chinese academics, making up 19.16% of the total. International Journal of Production Research, European Journal of Operational Research, and International Journal of Production Economics were the main venues for Chinese academics' publications. The National Natural Science Foundation of China supported 3446 papers in these journals, or 15.01% of all papers published. A variety of research hotspots are revealed by keyword analysis. The research's findings provide an excellent framework for describing the traits and developments in operation management.
