Bibliometric Analysis of Business and Economics in the Web of Science

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 287))

Abstract

We present a general overview of the most influential results found in the Web of Science in the subject area of Business & Economics that includes the categories of Business, Economics, Business Finance and Management. We analyse the most cited papers in the history and rank the most influential institutions by number of papers published. We analyse the most relevant journals, the temporal evolution and the countries with the highest number of publications. We also develop a similar analysis to the Spanish case studying the most cited papers, the most influential institutions and the temporal evolution. Note that this study is only based on the results found on the Web of Science with the objective of giving a general overview of the research done in Business & Economics especially over the last half century. However, many exceptions and particularities may be found throughout the results.
