20 years of Electronic Commerce Research

Abstract

2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Electronic Commerce Research ( ECR ). The journal has changed substantially over its life, reflecting the wider changes in the tools and commercial focus of electronic commerce. ECR ’s early focus was telecommunications and electronic commerce. After reorganization and new editorship in 2014, that focus expanded to embrace emerging tools, business models, and applications in electronic commerce, with an emphasis on the innovations and the vibrant growth of electronic commerce in Asia. Over this time, ECR ’s impact and volume of publications have grown rapidly, and ECR is considered one of the premier journals in its discipline. This invited research summarizes the evolution of ECR ’s research focus over its history.

Past, present, and future of sustainable finance: insights from big data analytics through machine learning of scholarly research

“…Specifically, this study sheds light on the performance analysis and science mapping of the entire corpus of sustainable finance research using a bibliometric analysis, wherein the former unpacks the publication trend, the top articles and contributing journals, authors, institutions, and countries, and the methodological choices and research contexts, whereas the latter reveals the major themes and topics underpinning the intellectual structure of the field. In doing so, this study will contribute enriching insights that answer six research questions (RQs) that are typically reveal through bibliometric reviews (Donthu et al, 2021b , 2021c ; Kumar et al, 2021a , 2021b , 2021c ; Rao et al, 2021 ), and thus, provide a more accurate representation of the state of sustainable finance research as a whole as opposed to the piecemeal representation that emerges from a sample of the field, as in the case of Cunha et al ( 2021 ): RQ1. What is the publication trend for sustainable finance research?…”

Forty years of the Journal of Futures Markets: A bibliometric overview

“…To commemorate this event, we present a retrospective of the Journal using bibliometrics. Journals often publish special studies around a milestone year (Baker et al, 2021; Baker, Kumar, & Pattnaik, 2020; Kumar et al, 2020, 2021; Schwert, 1993). Bibliometrics is also useful in analyzing extensive bibliographic data in finance (Baker, Pandey, et al, 2020; Burton et al, 2020; Merigó & Yang, 2017; Tunger & Eulerich, 2018; Zheng & Kouwenberg, 2019).…”
