“…The examination allows us to discover the links among the multiplicity of approaches to the phenomenon. This type of review contributes to identify blind spots in current research and to propose an agenda for further research [16][17][18][19][20]. Bibliometric studies are drawn mainly on quantitative analysis of publications about a specific phenomenon [21].…”

This review article attempts to respond to the following research questions: how has evolved socio-spatial analysis on logistics, which are the most studied types of this economic activity, and the major impacts of logistics on urban space. This article draws on a systemized bibliometric analysis to identify the main tendencies in logistics' spatial study. It identifies four clusters of literature that put interest on different subtopics and approaches. The review reveals the current hegemony of applied research that focuses on sustainability, streamlining, and technology, mainly from the USA and China, despite research on globalization and industry. In fact, concerning the urban space, the most vivid academic discussion revolves around the location of warehousing and transport activity within cities. Finally, the article highlights the lack of critical perspectives on logistics and socio-spatial conflicts generated by logistics extension in mainstream academic literature. The analysis concludes that socio-spatial disputes related to logistics remain understudied and, consequently, further research should be conducted on this field.

“…A search in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) shows in the region of 130 papers that deal with bibliometrics in sports. These are some examples: emotions and sport management ( Baier-Fuentes et al, 2020 ), biomechanics ( Knudson, 2020 ), handball ( Pardo Ibáñez et al, 2020 ), sport publications ( Phillips, 2020 ), sexual margination in schools ( Sáenz-Macana and Devís-Devís, 2020 ), sustainable entrepreneurship ( Calabuig-Moreno et al, 2020 ; Escamilla-Fajardo et al, 2020 ; González-Serrano et al, 2020 ; Pellegrini et al, 2020 ), talent evaluation ( Zheng and Liu, 2020 ), sports tourism ( Jiménez-García et al, 2020 ), collaboration and productivity patterns ( Pérez-Gutiérrez and Cobo-Corrales, 2020 ), motivation measures ( Clancy et al, 2017 ) and brain injury ( Sharma and Lawrence, 2014 ), among others.…”

The Sources of Knowledge of the Economic and Social Value in Sport Industry Research: A Co-citation Analysis

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this article is to map the intellectual structure of scholarship on economic and social value in the sport industry. Given that bibliometric techniques are specially appropriate for identifying the intellectual structures of a field of knowledge and complement traditional literature reviews, a co-citation bibliometric analysis has been applied. This kind of analysis identifies networks of interconnections. Therefore, we aim to detect both the most and the least active research areas in this field, as well as their sub-disciplinary composition. There is an abundance of literature on sport efficiency and economic efficiency in the sport industry, our main conclusion is the identification of a literature gap in regard to social value in sport organisations, which is expected to be a research opportunity for scholars. This is in line with the lack of standardisation in the measurement for social value in sport organisations. In fact, similar to analysis undertaken in the past few decades of other industries with contributions to stakeholders and the multi-fiduciary theory of stakeholders, both the creation of social value indicators for sport entities and the empirical analysis of social efficiency in sport institutions, are identified and outlined as future areas of research. Therefore, this bibliometric analysis will contribute to determine the future challenges that this area of research will face in the following years so as to fill the literature gap identified.

“…The D&CDA has been successfully applied to research climate change Islam and Kieu 2020) and REDD+ regimes (Mbatu 2020), both of which have direct linkages to the tourism value chains. Both D&CDA and meta-analysis methods were also applied in studying sports tourism (Jiménez-García et al 2020) and the understanding of environmental perception in tourism (Shi and Sun 2020).…”

Counting the Cost of COVID-19 on the Global Tourism Industry

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter provides the context in which the book "Counting the Cost of COVID-19 on Global Tourism Industry" is written, including highlights for what follows in the rest of the book. The COVID-19 pandemic came when the world was in the midst of entertaining major global development agendas that had implications on the global tourism value chains. Among such major global development agendas, one could list the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its aligned 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework and Habitat III's New Urban Agenda. The pandemic also steered geopolitical and global economic tensions as key players, including individuals and countries, demanded answers as to what led to such a wild and unstoppable spread of the coronavirus. Accusations of maladministration within the World Health Organization (WHO) and connivance with China emerged. Many countries battled to "flatten" the runaway COVID-19 and economic curves. Many countries and territories went on lockdown, with millions infected and hundreds of thousands dead by the time this book was going into production. Global economic stimulus packages were urgently instituted, and the tourism sector was among the top beneficiaries of such packages. The chapter also presents sections on the importance of the tourism sector to the global economy and how past pandemics affected the sector. It further highlights the overall methodological framework used for data generation and analysis.
