“…It is essential that last decades has seen an increasing number of documents globally of this field of research, due to authorities and general population have attested to significant worry at this public health problem [ 54 ]. Therefore, researchers prefer publish studies in high impact journals and gain visibility [ 55 ]. For its part, the first two top-10 papers most cited were published in 1995 and 1999, respectively.…”

Background Workplace violence in healthcare professionals has become a worldwide public health problem and has been the focus of numerous publications; however, currently, no macroscopic overviews of this research based on bibliometric analysis have been carried out. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to analyse the research trends focusing on workplace violence in healthcare personnel over the last 27 years. Materials and methods A bibliometric study was conducted from 1992 to 2019 in the field of workplace violence in healthcare personnel using the Scopus database. The author co-citation analysis was carried out using VOSviewer software. A worldwide map was created with Mapchart and word cloud image was created using Wordart. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. Findings 1791 records were analysed, 1376 of which (76.83%) were articles, with “Medicine” the most frequent subject category (58.91%). English was the predominant language (93.41%). From 2004 onwards, there was an exponential rise in the number of publications (R2 coefficient = 0.89; p < 0.0001) and the number of annual citations gradually increased from 1995 (R2 coefficient = 0.73; p < 0.0001). The University of Cincinnati (United States) was the institution (and country) with the highest number of publications (n = 30; n = 549), with D. M. Gates leading the ranking of the most productive authors (n = 21). Journal of Nursing Management was the most active journal publishing on the topic (n = 34) and the commonest keyword was “human/s” (16.43%). Conclusion From 1992 to 2019, worldwide research into the published literature on workplace violence in healthcare personnel has grown steadily year by year, both in the number of documents and the number of citations. United States and their institutions and researchers dominates this research output.

“…In a study of one aspect of insularity, Aistleitner et al. (2019) examine citation patterns for the top five journals and compare them with the patterns for the top five journals in other disciplines. The focus is on what the authors call “self‐referentiality,” which is the proportion of references for articles in the top five journals over the period 2009 to 2013 that cite the same group of journals.…”

“…While one‐fifth of authors of the articles published in 1995 in a group of top 30 economics journals were from 12 elite U.S. universities, more than half of the authors of articles in these journals received their PhD at these universities (Hodgson & Rothman, 1999). In an update of this study, for 2014 articles in three top journals—the AER , JPE , and QJE —over one‐third (38%) of the authors were affiliated with the 12 elite universities while 55% of the authors had received their PhD from this group of universities (Aistleitner et al., 2019). This suggests that studying micro‐geographic concentration in terms of author‐affiliations will provide a lower bound on the extent of spatial clustering in economics given that the locations where highly ranked economists received their doctoral training may be even more spatially concentrated than are their employing institutions.…”

This study examines micro‐geographic clustering in the production and recognition of academic research. Three U.S. ZIP codes are associated with over 40 percent of articles in the top five economics journals and those articles garnered one‐half of all citations in these journals from 2000 to 2015. Such micro‐geographic concentration is not apparent in other disciplines, even those like chemistry that rely on specialized laboratories. Concentration of citations to economics articles whose authors are associated with a few key ZIP codes has strengthened over time, even as it has weakened for other disciplines. This micro‐geographic concentration may increase systemic risk by reducing the diversity of economics research that is published and cited and may lead to insufficient research attention to local context.

“…Moreover, almost 60 per cent of the 1000 most-cited articles are published in 'topfive' journals (see also Laband (2013)). It is also remarkable, thatmeasured in terms of cited referencesthe discourse within the 'top-five' journals is also highly concentrated: On average, one out of four citations made in a 'top-five' journal either stem from the same journal (self-citation) or from its four 'best buddies' (Aistleitner et al 2019).…”

In the aftermath of recent populist upheavals in Europe, nationalist economic policies challenge the overly positive view on economic integration and the reduction of trade barriers established by standard economic theory. For quite a long time the great majority of economists supported trade liberalisation policies, at least those actively engaged in policy advice or public debates. In this paper, we examine the elite economics discourse on trade policies during the last 20 years regarding specific characteristics of authors, affiliations, citation patterns, the overall attitude towards trade, as well as the methodological approach applied in these papers. Our analysis yields the following results: First, the hierarchical structure of economics also manifests in the debate about trade. Second, while we found some indications of a shift towards more empirically oriented work, quite often empirical data is solely used to calibrate models rather than to challenge potentially biased theoretical assumptions. Third, top economic discourses on trade are predominantly characterised by a normative bias in favour of tradeliberalisation-policies. Forth, we found that other-than-economic impacts and implications of trade policies (political, social and cultural as well as environmental issues) to a great extent either remain unmentioned or are rationalised by means of pure economic criteria. KEYWORDS Trade evaluation; trade policies; 'empirical turn'; social studies of economics; bibliometric analysis; top economic journals JEL CODES A12; A14; B41; F10 It has long been an unspoken rule of public engagement for economists that they should champion trade and not dwell too much on the fine print.
