Abstract

This chapter uses a bibliometric approach to examine the growth of and changes in the Decision Support Systems (DSS) field over the 30 years from 1990 to 2019. Bibliographic databases such as Web of Science (WOS) provide valuable information on academic disciplines as they contain both the articles published and the articles cited. The changing disciplinary balance in the DSS field is indicated by the topics of the articles published, and the disciplinary categorisation of the journals where they are published. The citation links of these papers illustrate the intellectual influences on the DSS field. Network analysis of the bibliographic network allows the identification of key papers, authors, and journals. We identify important papers and concepts within the period and identify when these concepts subsequently became less important.
