“…Female scholars have been reported to be at a disadvantage in male-dominated academic systems, with respect to productivity (Xie & Shauman, 1998), promotion and tenure (Durodoye et al, 2020;Weisshaar, 2017), self-citation (King et al, 2017), and research impact (Thelwall, 2018). Although the field of nonprofit and philanthropic studies has greater female presence than other fields of research (Brudney & Durden, 1993;Schubert et al, 2022), prestigious authorship positions remain more likely to be occupied by males (M. D. Evans, 2022). We have some scattered and anecdotal evidence showing that gender inequality in our field has been diminishing.…”

The research field of nonprofits and philanthropy has grown exponentially. To what extent do nonprofit scholars share a common language? Answering this question is crucial to assessing the field’s intellectual cohesiveness. We studied how coauthor networks, scholarly reputation, and the prevalence of female authors influence consensus formation. We found that the degree of consensus for all major research topics in the field has increased over time—For every 10% growth in the volume of literature, shared language increased by 1.4%. A cohesive research community on nonprofits and philanthropy has been forming since the early 2000s. Female scholars are fewer in number and less cited than males; their presence did not exceed 40% for most topics. The citation counts of scholars and small-world property of networks are positively associated with consensus, suggesting that star researchers and knowledge brokers bridging different intellectual communities are key to sharing research interests and language.

“…Others examined the state of specific nonprofit research areas, including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international development (Brass et al, 2018), nonprofit revenue diversification/concentration and financial capacity (Lu et al, 2019), nonprofit collaboration (Gazley & Guo, 2020), and the social economy (Macías Ruano et al, 2021). Three pieces tracked trends in scholarship over time, including Coule and colleagues (2022) (critical nonprofit scholarship), Evans (2022) (gender inclusion based on research subject and authorship), and Kang et al (2022) (trends in research topics over the publication history of NVSQ) . Finally, like this study, Minkowitz et.…”

In celebration of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly’s 50th anniversary, we present a bibliometric analysis of nonprofit research published between 1999 and 2019, within and outside of three core nonprofit journals— NVSQ, NML, and Voluntas. We seek to understand which journals, across scientific domains and social science disciplines, inform nonprofit research in one of three ways, by (a) publishing articles, (b) citing the three core journals, or being cited in these core journals. We found that nonprofit research published in economics and social sciences journals has kept pace with a large increase in indexed research. Meanwhile, though the core nonprofit journals robustly cite and are increasingly cited by business and management and public administration journals, they are less engaged with other social science disciplines. We discuss ways that the core journals could increase their visibility and penetration into these other disciplines and highlight perspectives potentially missing from the core journals.
