Thirteen years of Operations Management Research (OMR) journal: a bibliometric analysis and future research directions

Abstract

The journal of Operations Management Research (OMR) is a rigorous journal that started its publication in 2008. It publishes short, focused research studies that advance both the theory and practice of operations management. Considering the relevant OMR's contribution to the field of Operations Management in the last years, this study provides an overall assessment of the journal performance by conducting a retrospective review. To elaborate on OMR's temporal development in terms of publications, authors, affiliated institutions and countries, citation patterns, and conceptual structure, we extract publications from Scopus database for the period 2008-2020. We rely on bibliometric techniques in addition to bibliographic coupling, keyword analysis, and content analysis. 166 documents were analyzed using RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. Findings emphasize OMR's steady productivity growth (3.24%). Narrowly, Olhager J. is the most productive authors while Kalchschmidt M. and Stentoft J. are the most influential authors (H-index of 4). Furthermore, USA contributes to the highest number of publications while UK is the most influential country in terms of citations. Cranfield School of Management, UK stands as the top cited university. The analysis of the thematic evolution concludes to three main clusters: "Manufacturing and Supply chain Performance", "Six Sigma and Lean Management", and "Reshoring, Backshoring and Offshoring". This study recommends to further investigate the implications of the fourth industrial revolution and the sequels of COVID-19.

Thirty‐six years of the journal of Financial Accountability & Management: Scientometric review

“…While keywords cooccurrence indicates the number of publications in which both the keywords/terms appear together. In other terms, coauthorship measures the degree of connectivity among the coauthors affiliated to one or different institutions (Peters & Van Raan, 1991), while cooccurrence of the keywords reveals the existing literature's conceptual structure (Ravikumar et al, 2015;Callon et al, 1983;Dhiaf et al, 2021;Sharaf, 2021;Abu Nassar and Al Twerqi, 2021) as frequent coappearance of words in different documents disclose their thematic relationship (Callon et al, 1983) and [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com] analysis of the content of such a document enables a researcher to conceptualize the field (Andersen, 2019;Aminova et al, 2020). Moreover, the study uses quantitative indicators to depict the bibliographic data, such as the total number of articles and citationss to measure productivity and impact, respectively, and other metrics such as average citation per article that combines both publications and citations.…”

Environmental regulation and corporate environmental performance: A bibliometric analysis

“…The top ten authors are initially reported on the basis of h-index, total citations, and total publications, as shown in Table 7. The h-index (h) denotes that a researcher has h articles that have been cited at least h times, and is an indicator of both productivity and citation impact (Dhiaf et al, 2021). From the table, Ramanathan R has played the most pivotal role in the field by focusing on the effects of different ERs, environmental pressures, and organizational stresses on environmental performance, respectively (R. Li and Ramanathan, 2018;Ramanathan et al, 2014;Yu et al, 2017).…”

Global research performance on social media security: a bibliometric visualization analysis

“…The analytical representation of the keywords played a significant role to give an interrelatedness of the research in the given field (Su and Lee, 2010). The outcome of the keywords assists the researchers to choose their keywords for upcoming research work which helps them to develop cognitive understanding through the co-occurrence visualisation (Dhiaf et al , 2021).…”
