“…Last but not least, the potential impacts of emerging technologies and market innovations like artificial intelligence (i.e., machine learning, deep learning, and generative artificial intelligence), augmented-and-virtual realities, 3D printing, and live-streaming on the retail market are indeed intriguing (Ameen et al, 2022;Luo et al, 2024;Soon et al, 2023). Virtual tryon experiences, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), metaverse, and associated business models have become focal points of research, with recent studies emphasising the new opportunities in these realms (Kumar et al, 2024;Malik et al, 2022;Youn et al, 2023).

PurposeThis study aims to embark on a bibliometric journey through the International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management (IJR&DM) to delve into its rich repository of applied retailing research.Design/methodology/approach626 publications in IJR&DM between 2015 and 2023 have been retrieved from Scopus for performance analysis of the journal’s publication (productivity) and citation (impact) trends as well as a science mapping of the journal’s collaborators (contributors) and major themes (contributions).FindingsThe performance analysis highlights the growth in the productivity and impact of IJR&DM alongside its most cited publications, most prolific contributors, most relied-on journals, as well as the authors, institutions, countries, and journals that the journal has impacted the most. The co-authorship analysis reveals the collaboration (i.e., international with a high concentration in Europe and North America along with an emerging presence in Asia) of IJR&DM. Keyword co-occurrence analysis and bibliographic coupling reveal eight themes. Our exploration revealed close interconnections among various domains including retailing and adaptive strategies, channel strategies, customer experience, market innovations, operations management, relationship marketing, shopping motivation, and sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough this study delivers a state-of-the-art overview of the retail industry through the scientific contributions from IJR&DM, it remains limited to the insights from a single authoritative source of knowledge on retailing.Originality/valueNo review, to date, has been conducted for IJR&DM. This study provides the inaugural retrospective of the scientific contributions of IJR&DM, outlining publication and citation trends alongside the intellectual structure of its body of knowledge on retailing. Theoretically, this retrospective is pivotal in charting the intellectual growth and thematic nuances inherent in retail research. Practically, this study serves as a guide for practitioners, enabling them to make strategically informed decisions and craft forward-looking strategies in sync with current realities.

The metaverse is emerging from the amalgamation of augmented and virtual reality. Given the novelty and recency of the metaverse and its potential implications for marketing, this study aims to (i) explore how marketing could manifest and evolve in the metaverse and how consumer behavior may be influenced (what) by (ii) engaging in a systematic literature review focusing on the positives and negatives of the metaverse (how), so that (iii) marketers can plan for, progress in, and prosper from informed metaverse marketing strategies (so what). The study sheds light on the metaverse and its impact on marketing through an integrative framework that highlights the bright and dark side of the metaverse based on six key themes: increased digital innovation and transformation, new marketing possibilities, consumers’ interest in the metaverse, threatened digital privacy and legal challenges, health concerns, and sustainability issues. The study also presents 10 prominent cases of metaverse marketing in the real world to enrich and support the findings. The study concludes by outlining the directions for the future of metaverse marketing.
