Bibliometrics and business. A challenge for researchers

Abstract

  Bibliometric studies are a technique used to obtain an overview of the state of research in various scientific disciplines. For some time ago until now, bibliometric studies have increased significantly. For example, 6 times more bibliometric studies were published in 2020 than 10 years ago (see figure 1). The scientific community of Business and Management has also participated in this increase. In fact, they are among the scientific disciplines with the highest productivity in this type of studies. The evolution of information technologies and the emergence of the Internet are partly responsible for this increase. The development of various specialized tools and software, the availability of data/information online, have increasingly facilitated the systematization of information, which has boosted the development and publication of these studies.
