“…Bibliometric analysis has been used in various forms to better characterise the multidisciplinary nature of archaeological research (Sinclair 2016). Specific studies include establishing trends in archaeological science (Marriner 2009), the influence of academic background on research (Mallía and Vidal 2009), trends in osteoarchaeology (Mays 2010), network analysis (Brughmans 2013;Brughmans and Peeples 2017), the use of R software (Schmidt and Marwick 2020), and gender disparities in publishing (Victor and Beaudry 1992;Beaudry and White 1994;Hutson 2002;Hutson 2006). Although archaeology is an interdisciplinary field, it is important to determine how alike TRAC is to our nearest sub-genres.…”

As TRAC approaches another milestone anniversary there is much to celebrate - a successful conference, a large body of publications, and a thriving community. Part of this success stems from the unusually introspective and self-critical nature of the organisation. However, despite this tradition, there has been limited data-driven analysis of TRAC's successes and failures. This paper uses bibliometric data from the corpus of TRAC publications over the last 30 years to analyse whether the organisation has achieved its aims. Alongside data from comparable journals, this research will also determine whether TRAC is ahead or behind the wider academic world. This paper provides insights into how diverse TRAC has become and how me might move forward in future.

“…Bibliometric studies of specific sections of the archaeological discipline have already been attempted (Marriner 2009, Palomar et al 2009, Leydesdorff et al 2011. On the occasion of the Journal of Archaeological Science´s 35th anniversary, a bibliometric assessment was made of publishing trends amongst the archaeological sciences (Marriner 2009). The current article aims at expanding such previous works by assessing what characterizes both scientifically and humanistic oriented archaeological publications during the past 5 years.…”

This article presents the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted on all original research papers published in six high-ranking archaeological journals between 2009 and 2013, consisting of 926 papers. The purpose is to identify the general features characterizing the output of archaeological publishing within the given time frame and to discuss the results in light of the science/humanities divide of archaeology. It expands previous work, covering not just scientific or humanistic parts of archaeology, but sub-disciplinary niches across the science/humanities-spectrum. Significant differences are identified amongst the journals on an array of parameters, including journal statistics, citation network, thematic distribution, the application of methods and the direction of relevance to other sub-fields. Most significantly, established correlations of academic publishing are for the first time identified in archaeology, regarding the structure of citation networks, the connectedness of high-ranking journals and how specific affiliations to either side of the science/humanities divide affect publishing. In the end, these results are taken to represent a sub-optimal division of labor between archaeological sub-fields, tentatively explained by the continued relevance of the science/humanities divide in archaeology, by providing diverse epistemic underpinnings.
