Journal of Music Theoryover the Years

Abstract

Bibliometric tools and especially content analysis of all 393 articles published in Journal of Music Theory (up to issue 48/1) help to investigate the development of the content of this journal. The articles were classified according to their type, the theoretical aspect, the period of repertoire discussed, and major composers or theorists they were devoted to. Among the major findings, one can trace in a precise manner the centripetal process toward focus on Schenkerian and set theories (and the more recent opposite process), the almost total separation of discussions of tonal and posttonal music, the more recent inclusion of neo-Riemannian theory, the para-academic nature of some earlier areas of interest, the correlation between an established method and the repertoire discussed, the general solid focus on hard-core theory with very few glimpses to interdisciplinary studies, and the slow and partial change that involves metatheoretical approaches. Other aspects include the growth of the journal, its importance, and its editors and contributors.

Half a century of Lighting Research & Technology: A bibliometric review

“…Previous bibliometric studies mainly focused on a specific subfield of lighting (e.g., LED 60 or organic LED 61–64 ) or other journals. 71–91 LRT, as a premier international outlet covering multiple subfields of light and lighting, is an ideal target for bibliometric analysis to reveal the evolution of lighting field. Expanding previous studies, 5,17,45 the current investigation provided more detailed and objective information about the development of LRT and we posed the following research questions: (1) What were the production trends and citation trends in LRT?…”

Changes in nutrition and dietetic research: A content analysis of the past decade of Dietitians Association of Australia conference abstracts

“…One way of studying change in research in this area is to apply content analysis to data on dietetic publications. This method has previously been used to describe changes in publication profiles across a defined period in other disciplines, including sciences (eg, psychology) and the arts (eg, music) . Content analysis has a presence in nutrition research publications across a range of topics, for example, addressing the topics of infant feeding and calcium and weight loss messages in magazines.…”
