The intellectual structure of human resource management research: a bibliometric study of the international journal of human resource management, 2000–2012

The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing literature on human resource management (HRM) from all the research papers published in The International Journal of Human Resource Management between 2000 and 2012. The authors apply bibliometric methods to identify the main research lines within this scientific field; in other words, its ‘intellectual structure’. Social network analysis is also used to perform a visualization of this structure. The results of the analysis allow us to define the different research lines or fronts which shape the intellectual structure of research on HRM.     

高校图书馆思想政治教育的计量规律研究

高校图书馆主要职能之一是教育职能,对思想政治教育具有重要作用,关于高校图书馆思想政治教育领域涌现出诸多具备理论与实践意义的研究成果。但是该领域的量化研究较少,同时,面对大量的文献资料,传统的文献分析法无法以数据化的形式全景式呈现研究主题的发展规律及研究前沿。鉴于此,采用文献计量学方法,借助CiteSpace可视化软件,从CNKI(中国知网)数据库中选取532篇有关高校图书馆思想政治教育研究的文献作为样本数据,从发文量、期刊分布、作者分布、机构分布、关键词共现、关键词聚类、关键词突现等方面进行计量与可视化分析。研究表明,高校图书馆思想政治教育的发展处于上升阶段,但作者、机构间还未形成明显的合作网络,研究力量较为分散,发文地区呈现“东多西少”的不均衡现象,研究重点围绕大学生、高校图书馆、思想教育、教育职能展开,而新时代要求下,高校图书馆劳动教育与“三全育人”工作助力思想政治教育成为研究前沿。基于该领域当前存在的问题提出未来发展建议。

The intellectual structure of the strategic management field: an author co-citation analysis

This paper complements a recent study by Ramos-Rodriguez and Ruiz-Navarro (2004) that investigated the intellectual structure of the strategic management field through co-citation analysis. By using authors as the units of analysis and incorporating all the citations that are included in the Science Citation Index and the Social Science Citation Index, we trace the evolution of the intellectual structure of the strategic management field during the period 1980–2000. Using a variety of data analytic techniques such as multidimensional scaling, factor analysis, and Pathfinder analysis, we (1) delineate the subfields that constitute the intellectual structure of strategic management; (2) determine the relationships between the subfields; (3) identify authors who play a pivotal role in bridging two or more conceptual domains of research; and (4) graphically map the intellectual structure in two-dimensional space in order to visualize spatial distances between intellectual themes. The analysis provides insights about the influence of individual authors as well as changes in their influence over time. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mapping the intellectual structure of modern technology management

The paper explores and maps the intellectual structure of technology management studies from 1987 to 2006 by analysing 22,336 cited references of 1328 articles in the SSCI and SCI databases. Bibliometrics and social network analysis techniques are used to research the intellectual structure of the technology management literature. Six threads emerged in this study: (1) core competence and competitive advantage, (2) information system planning and changes, (3) the management of innovation and organisations, (4) technology management approaches, (5) technology strategy and (6) organisational learning and knowledge management. This study provides a systematic and objective means of determining the knowledge nodes in the development of technology management research.     

Business ethics research at the world's leading universities and business schools

This paper explores the role of the leading universities and best-ranked business schools in the evolution of the academic field of business ethics. An advanced bibliometric methodology is applied to publications in business ethics from the major universities of the Shanghai ARWU ranking and from the FT-ranked business schools. The comprehensive bibliometric study encompasses multiple indicators and examines the evolution of business ethics publications over time. Business ethics research is built on two complementary interdisciplinary streams of research, philosophy, and management. The study indicates that it were not the top universities that contributed most to research advancements in the field of business ethics but second and third tier universities. This finding suggests that academic research in new subfields constitutes a niche strategy for universities and business schools to differentiate themselves. The study furthermore highlights the prominent role of the product champion or ‘idea champion’ in management research at universities. The diffusion of business ethics research illustrates the possibilities for lower ranked business schools with lower budget to excel in specialised subfields and interdisciplinary subthemes.     

Exploring the intellectual structure of research in codes of ethics: A bibliometric analysis

In this study, we map the intellectual structure of the code of ethics research field by means of a co-citation bibliometric analysis. To date, this type of analysis is absent from the literature on codes of ethics. Previous literature reviews have clarified definitions, studied contents, and analyzed the effectiveness of codes of ethics. However, the qualitative nature of these reviews does not resolve fundamental issues for understanding the evolution and status of this research field. This study contributes to the field by providing a bibliometric review in which the main research areas, sources of knowledge, trends, interrelationships, and dissemination paths of the domain are shown. Our findings reveal four main lines of research in the field of codes of ethics: corporate agent behavior with respect to codes of ethics, content analysis, effectiveness of codes of ethics, and employees’ attitudes toward codes of ethics. We also show that the study of the contents of codes of ethics is the main connecting bridge in this area of knowledge. Finally, we identify upcoming research topics in the field such as cultural change, the defensive nature of codes of ethics, and the application of organizational theories to code analysis.     

The Pulse of Multiparticipant Systems

Multiparticipant systems comprise a major area of information systems research—a growth area of considerable vitality. Here, we examine the pulse of this research stream. This is done using the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce as a lens to develop a high-level perspective on the nature, progression, and diversity of research in the area of multiparticipant systems.     

Evaluating Journal Quality: Beyond “Expert” Journal Assessments in the IS Discipline

Assessing the relative stature of journals devoted to the information systems (IS) discipline is an important issue for IS scholars and those who evaluate them. Even though journal assessment results are often dubiously applied by those making hiring, promotion, and merit decisions, the fact that they are so often a major ingredient in these decisions demands that we understand underlying journal assessment processes. Beyond processes involving the opinions of various “experts,” we here examine how IS journals can be evaluated based on overt behaviors of crowds of IS scholars. These behaviors are revealed preferences, in contrast to stated preferences found in opinions. Two classes of objective journal assessments are studied: impact measures and power measures. Among the former, we find that so-called journal impact factors are problematic, rendering their meaningfulness in evaluating journal stature highly suspect. Another kind of impact measure, the H-index, is found to be a more straightforward way to gauge journal impact. Two power measures for assessing IS journal stature are examined: publishing intensity and publishing breadth. The stature of IS journals according to each of the impact measures and power measures is determined. A comparison of the results shows that a small group of four or five IS journals are repeatedly found at the top across multiple objective assessment approaches. To account for both the consumption and production of IS research, it is suggested that a combined use of impact and power measures be employed in exercises aimed at evaluating relative statures of journals devoted to IS research.
