“…Bibliometric methods have been used earlier by researchers to measure publication activity in various domains (de Araújo, Pedron, & Picoto, 2018;Pasadeos & Renfro, 1992). The bibliometric analysis uses objective and quantitative perspective to delineate, retrospect, and monitor research activity within a domain and reports the relationships using a systematic, clear, and consistent review process (Chen & Xiao, 2016;Morkunas, Moore, & Duncan, 2019;Rey-Martí, Ribeiro-Soriano, & Palacios-Marqués, 2016).…”

“…This poses a methodological challenge as the keyword political marketing is used without much reflection in the existing literature. The analysis is quantitative, and the results of the analysis should be used in combination with techniques that can help evaluate the contents of the retrieved articles (Morkunas et al, ). The keywords “political” and “marketing” are also widely used in academic literature resulting in the retrieval of thousands of documents not related to political marketing discipline when the search was performed without using search quotes.…”

The current study presents a quantitative investigation of the literature on political marketing using a bibliometric approach. This study has analyzed 214 documents collected from the Web of Science database for the period between 1996 and 2018 using VOSviewer software and bibliometrix R package. Based on the insights gained from the analysis, the authors discuss the structural characteristics of various scientific agents involved in the publication process. The results of this study indicate that the literature on political marketing is highly fragmented and is still in its nascent stages. It further stresses the need to improve collaboration among researchers and promote this discipline within the research community.

“…Moreover, as Fleisher noted at the advent of the Journal of Public Affairs in 2001, programs often are more directly oriented to public sector professional careers than those in business (Fleisher, 2001:438). In a bibliometric analysis of all articles published between 2001 and 2016 in this journal, education and teaching public affairs remain low key in attention (Morkunas, Moore, & Duncan, 2019). Some exceptions are, in the early to mid‐2000s, Fleisher (2001) and McGrath (2005).…”

The ongoing spread of public affairs as an organizational function calls for a more integrated and systematic approach to teaching program development in this field. In many countries we see a process of "publicization," with increasing visibility of lobbying behavior and emphasis on accountability. Also in many countries, the reality of public affairs has become more complex as new players and issues enter the public and political arenas. There is more attention within and outside the community of practitioners to the way in which public affairs can move on in professionalization and solidify itself in the political and social environment. The way forward is to further build a recognizable academic domain that can help shape and consolidate the knowledge identity of public affairs and make public affairs activities more clearly evidence based. This contribution presents what may be called an "ideal" academic education program on public affairs, to be embedded and taught at the graduate level. For this to be grounded well, it is necessary to re-address the concept of public affairs and consider the main elements of the body of knowledge and skills that can inform further education development. On this basis, three learning lines are distinguished for a modular approach to teach an integrated graduate program on public affairs in which the boundary spanning roles of a next generation of public affairs professionals can be performed effectively and responsibly. 1 | INTRODUCTION This contribution presents what may be called an "ideal" program of public affairs at the graduate level. The adjective "ideal" is meant to stimulate developments in this direction. The line of argument towards this public affairs program begins with the concept of public affairs and the main components of the body of knowledge and skills. The concept and content of public affairs are first re-addressed to create a vantage point for developing a truly integrated higher education program. This is necessary because in many countries, interest representation and lobbying are exposed to "publicization," that is, ever increasing public visibility and accountability. The challenging task of maintaining a strong and legitimate position in society has become a central element of public affairs, next to lobbying in the policy process. This is what is giving the concept of public affairs its fuller meaning today. Moving to education, three learning lines can be distinguished, based on the main components of the body of knowledge. And next, within these three learning lines, modules (or courses, pick the term) flesh out the body of knowledge and skills.

“…Bibliometrics is a common method in journal analysis and can provide valuable research policies for scientific community members, especially editors, authors, and journal audiences (Antons et al , 2016; Morkunas et al , 2019; Restrepo and Willett, 2017). In addition, it is considered as a set of methods for analyzing scientific literature quantitatively by using bibliographic data (De Bellis, 2009).…”

PurposeThe Journal of Intellectual Capital (JIC) celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020. Therefore, the present study aims to provide a general overview of the history and key trends in this journal during 2000–2019.Design/methodology/approachTwo types of citation and textual data during a 20-year journal period were retrieved from the Scopus database. The citation structures and contents were explored based on a combination of bibliometric analysis, altmetric analysis and text mining. The journal themes and trends of their changes were analyzed through citation bursts, mapping and topic modeling. To make a better comparison, the text mining process for the topic modeling of the IC field was performed in addition to the topic modeling of JIC.FindingsBibliometric analysis indicated that JIC has experienced a remarkable growth in terms of the number of publications and citations over the last 20 years. The results indicated that JIC plays a significant role among IC researchers. Additionally, a large number of researchers, institutes and countries have made contributions to this journal and cited its research papers. Altmetric analysis showed that JIC has been shared in different social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, Mendeley, Citeulike, news and blogs. Text mining abstract of JIC articles indicated that “measurement,” “financial performance” and “IC reporting” have the relative prevalence with increasing trends over the past 20 years. In addition, “research trends” and “national and international studies” had a stable trend with low thematic share.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings have important implications for the JIC editorial team in order to make informed decisions about the further development of JIC as well as for IC researchers and practitioners to make more valuable contributions to the journal.Originality/valueUsing bibliometric analysis, altmetric analysis and text mining, this study provided a systematic and comprehensive analysis of JIC. The simultaneous use of these methods provides an interesting, unique and suitable capacity to analyze the journals by considering their various aspects.
