The Technological and Economic Development of Economy (TEDE) was founded 25 years ago and it is a reputable journal in the field of sustainable economic development. Bibliometrics is a branch of library and information science, which takes all kinds of literature as the research object and uses mathematical and statistical methods to study the status and development trend of science and technology (Price, 1976; Yu, 2015; He, Wu, Yu, & Merigó, 2017).

The above studies showed that the use of bibliometric methods to analyze a journal is reasonable and effective, and the research results have important reference value for scholars in this field. This study is structured as follows: Section 1 investigates the basic characteristics of the TEDE publications, including annual and geographical distributions, author and manuscript characteristics.
