“…A search in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) shows in the region of 130 papers that deal with bibliometrics in sports. These are some examples: emotions and sport management ( Baier-Fuentes et al, 2020 ), biomechanics ( Knudson, 2020 ), handball ( Pardo Ibáñez et al, 2020 ), sport publications ( Phillips, 2020 ), sexual margination in schools ( Sáenz-Macana and Devís-Devís, 2020 ), sustainable entrepreneurship ( Calabuig-Moreno et al, 2020 ; Escamilla-Fajardo et al, 2020 ; González-Serrano et al, 2020 ; Pellegrini et al, 2020 ), talent evaluation ( Zheng and Liu, 2020 ), sports tourism ( Jiménez-García et al, 2020 ), collaboration and productivity patterns ( Pérez-Gutiérrez and Cobo-Corrales, 2020 ), motivation measures ( Clancy et al, 2017 ) and brain injury ( Sharma and Lawrence, 2014 ), among others.…”

The Sources of Knowledge of the Economic and Social Value in Sport Industry Research: A Co-citation Analysis

et al. 2020

The aim of this article is to map the intellectual structure of scholarship on economic and social value in the sport industry. Given that bibliometric techniques are specially appropriate for identifying the intellectual structures of a field of knowledge and complement traditional literature reviews, a co-citation bibliometric analysis has been applied. This kind of analysis identifies networks of interconnections. Therefore, we aim to detect both the most and the least active research areas in this field, as well as their sub-disciplinary composition. There is an abundance of literature on sport efficiency and economic efficiency in the sport industry, our main conclusion is the identification of a literature gap in regard to social value in sport organisations, which is expected to be a research opportunity for scholars. This is in line with the lack of standardisation in the measurement for social value in sport organisations. In fact, similar to analysis undertaken in the past few decades of other industries with contributions to stakeholders and the multi-fiduciary theory of stakeholders, both the creation of social value indicators for sport entities and the empirical analysis of social efficiency in sport institutions, are identified and outlined as future areas of research. Therefore, this bibliometric analysis will contribute to determine the future challenges that this area of research will face in the following years so as to fill the literature gap identified.

“…Recently, the use of bibliometric analysis to quantify specific research fields or journals has become more common (Feng et al, 2022). There are several bibliometric studies related to sports modalities (Mamani-Jilaja et al, 2023), such as in badminton (Blanca-Torres et al 2020), handball (Ibáñez, Gil & Chenoll, 2021), basketball (Maciel et al, 2019), football (Adán et al, 2020), or soccer . Nevertheless, there is a gap in bibliometric studies regarding indoor and beach volleyball.…”

Over the last decade, the growth of match analysis in indoor and beach volleyball indicates the relevance of the subject to provide a structured and up-to-date picture of the state of the art. The purpose of this article was to present a bibliometric analysis of articles on match analysis in indoor and beach volleyball. A total of 179 and 44 articles from indoor and beach volleyball, respectively, indexed in Web of Science or Scopus were reviewed. Outcome measures were extracted and analyzed using R Bibliometrics package or VOSviewer software. Bibliometric indicators of productivity included: number of articles published per year, most productive authors, institutions, countries and journals, top-10 most cited articles, most frequent topics, and authors co-authorship. Match analysis was covered in 82.3% in volleyball and 75% in beach volleyball in the last ten years, with most articles published in few journals. Authors affiliated in institutions from Portugal (volleyball) and Spain (beach volleyball) seemed to have made the largest contribution to this area. The trending topics of the most cited studies included quality of opposition (volleyball) and tactical-technical aspects (beach volleyball). In both sports, tactical-technical actions were the most studied units of analysis, with the international-level adult male game being the most investigated. In conclusion, this study provides research profiling, classifications for the initial research phase and research direction for future research in this subject area. Keywords: scientific production, performance analysis, sports performance, bibliometric.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to draw a scientific map of the Grand Tours cycling as part of the growing research field in this field at the global level. This study also identifies the components of scientific production in this field along with their collaboration patterns. Design/methodology/approach With the aim of achieving a comprehensive and deep understanding of the studies related to the Grand Tour, this research aims to address the existing gaps and provide a comprehensive summary of these scholarly works. To achieve this goal, the authors used a systematic and scientometric combination method, analyzing studies from the past half century (1970–2022). Findings The research findings reveal that scientific studies related to cycling events exhibit a geographical concentration within the continent of Europe, surpassing other continents. Notably, Spain, the USA, the UK and Italy emerge as pioneers in this field of inquiry. The main themes identified in these studies encompass cycling, the Tour de France, performance, professional roa cycling, heart rate, endurance, doping and power output. Practical implications This research, along with other systematic studies, contributes to the existing literature in this field by providing both quantitative and qualitative data. Additionally, the study serves as a foundation for identifying active and influential countries, institutions and authors in this domain. Such insights are highly effective in establishing scientific focal points in this field. Originality/value This study, in conjunction with the introduction of key figures in mega cycling event research, sheds light on the thematic areas explored within these studies. Notably, it is the sole study that has illuminated hidden facets of this field using scientometric and systematic methods.
