“…Trying to ascertain the evolution and the current state of the field has led IB scholars to review extant research to rank institutions (Treviño, Mixon Jr., Funk, & Inkpen, 2010) and journals (DuBois & Reeb, 2000), assess the influence of scholars and specific works (Ferreira, 2011;Ferreira, Serra & Almeida, 2012), construct a cognitive map of the discipline (Chandra & Newburry, 1997) and discern the structure of the social network of an entire journal (Chabowski et al, 2010;Liesch et al, 2011). Other scholars used some form of bibliometric method to map the state of the art and future directions of the discipline (Oesterle & Wolf, 2011) or of a specific topic (Di Stefano, Peteraf & Verona, 2010), the influence of other disciplines on a field (Samiee & Chabowski, 2011) or the impact of a theory on a discipline (Peng, 2001).…”
