Abstract

The dataset of this study concerns articles published in scientific journals in 1995–2015. Two major publishers have been used: Emerald Group Publishing and Elsevier. Research works were searched for the terms ‘supply chain’ and ‘case study’ (in abstracts, keywords and titles). For citations, it was not possible to use Scopus or Thomson Reuters ISI, so the Publish or Perish (Google Scholar) database was consulted instead. The reason for using the latter is that many journals have only been included relatively recently in Scopus and Thomson Reuters ISI. However, as is illustrated here, Publish or Perish (Google Scholar) citations are linked to, for example, Scopus citation numbers
