“…We are interested in the variation of the impact of collaboration between topics. Topical or thematic structure and dynamics of individual journals and fields of research had been analysed using keywords (Costanza et al 2016;Brookshire and Scrogin 2000;Debertin and Pagoulatos 1992) or topic modelling (Polyakov et al 2016;Sidorova et al 2008;Winson-Geideman and Evangelopoulos 2013). It is well known that citation counts differ across fields of research and type of collaboration has different impact on citation in different fields of research (Didegah and Thelwall 2013).…”

In this paper, we analyse the effects of different types of formal collaboration and research topics on research impact of academic articles in the area of agricultural, resource, environmental, and ecological economics. The research impact is measured by the number of times an article has been cited each year since publication. The topics within the area of research are modelled using latent semantic analysis. We distinguish between the effect of institutional, national, and international collaboration. We use statistical models for count data and control for the impacts of journals, publication year, and years since publication. We find that, holding other factors constant, collaboration in the form of co-authorship increases research impact. The effect of inter-institutional collaboration within same country is similar to the effect of collaboration within same institution. However, international collaboration results in additional increase in impact. We find that the topic of a paper substantially influences number of citations and identified which topics are associated with greater impact. The effects of different types of collaboration on citations also vary across topics.

“…Similar analyses have been conducted for general interest economics journals (Hamermesh 2013) as well as field journals in the area of environmental and resource economics. There have been plenty of reviews done for the JEEM (Shogren and Durden 1991;Brookshire and Scrogin 2000;Schymura and Löschel 2014), the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (Debertin and Pagoulatos 1992), the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (Polyakov et al 2016), Ecological Economics (Costanza et al 2004;Ma and Stern 2006;Costanza et al 2016). But, to our knowledge, no reviews of this nature have been done for ERE.…”

Environmental and Resource Economics is one of the premier journals in the field of environmental economics. It was established with an aspiration to focus more on applied and policy relevant research compared to other established journals, and to establish better channels of communication and collaboration between researchers from Europe and other parts of the world. We present a text based exploratory analysis of 1,630 articles published in the Journal from 1991 to 2015 that suggests the Journal has been somewhat successful in meeting both these aims. Perhaps more importantly, it shows the Journal continues to progress toward these goals. The European authors are the largest contributors to the Journal, which is in contrast to other prominent journals (such as Journal of Environmental Economics and Management and Ecological Economics). And while most of the collaboration has occurred within this geographic region (e.g., European authors collaborated with other European authors more frequently), this trend appears to be changing as the proportion of articles written by international collaborators is gradually increasing. Topic analysis reveals that almost all of the articles could be grouped under applied and / or policy relevant topics, and almost two-thirds of the articles are empirical in nature, which suggest that the journal has been able to fulfil both of its commitments. We also investigate trends in research foci over the last twenty-five years and what kind of research gaps can be discerned.
