A review and scientometric analysis of supply chain management (SCM)

Abstract

This paper aims to provide the most up-to-date review of supply chain management (SCM) publications through the use of scientometric analysis by reviewing studies published between the years 1998 to 2017. Global contributions in the field of SCM are well illustrated by identifying top productive journals, scholars, institutions, and countries. To clearly identify prevailing and recent research trends and topics in the field, the papers reviewed were categorized into three stages based on the timeline and increasing rate of publications. In each stage, core research topics and research methods were explored. The results of this study show that out of 13477 research outputs, the highest percentage of 59.38% are research articles, and the lowest percentage of 0.33% are books. The majority of 2389publications originated from the United States, followed by 2256 from China. We observed a general increase in the number of publication records in SCM over the years. The areas of current research interests and future research needs in the SCM area are also identified.

A Supply Chain Management Study: A Review of Theoretical Models from 2014 to 2019

“…This is a very important question. A literature review can be a condensed summary of the source of the data and articles (Yalcin et al, 2020). Literature review can reinterpret old data or integrate new and old interpretations, and it can also trace back the development of knowledge in the academic field, which contains major development and controversies (Acerbi & Taisch, 2020).…”

Supply Chain Efficiency in the Discount Store Industry Post COVID-19: Applying the Supply Chain Efficiency Ratio

“…In addition, no models have been developed that examine the discount store industry, another significant gap in the supply chain literature. Other research gaps include the findings of Yalcin, Shi and Rahman (2020), who found sufficient research on firm performance and supply chain but very little research that combines both topics.…”

Barriers to Adoption of Supply Chain Management in India: A Theoretical Model and Scale Development

“…It has been actively practiced and researched from the mid-1990s (Mentzer et al, 2001;Kotzab and Otto, 2004;Giunipero et al, 2008;Soni and Kodali, 2012). Firms that have adopted SCM, have reported significant benefits in the form of competitive advantage, higher revenues, lower costs due to improved operational efficiency, and higher customer satisfaction (Mentzer et al, 2001;Li et al, 2006;Fawcett et al, 2008;Christopher, 2011;Wang, 2012;Sahu and Rao, 2015;Huddiniah and ER, 2019;Yalcin et al, 2020).…”
