Risk management research in East Asia: a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive analysis of risk management in East Asia from 1998 to 2021 by using bibliometric methods and tools to explore research trends, hotspots, and directions for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe data source for this paper is the Web of Science Core Collection, and 7,154 publications and related information have been derived. We use recognized bibliometric indicators to evaluate publications and visually analyze them through scientific mapping tools (VOS Viewer and CiteSpace).FindingsThe analysis results show that China is the most productive and influential country/region. East Asia countries have strong cooperation with each other and also have cooperation with other countries. The study shows that risk management has been involved in various fields such as credit, supply chain, health emergency and disaster especially in the background of COVID-19. We also found that machine learning, especially deep learning, has been playing an increasingly important role in risk management due to its excellent performance.Originality/valueThis paper focuses on studying risk management in East Asia, exploring its publication's fundamental information, citation and cooperation networks, hotspots, and research trends. It provides some reference value for scholars who are interested or further research in this field.

Research landscape of energy transition and green finance: A bibliometric analysis

“…Zhang et al [ 37 ] also utilize bibliometric analysis to understand the evolution of Artificial Intelligence in Renewable Energy (AI&RE) research from 2006 to 2022. Additionally, Zhang et al [ 38 ] use 7154 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection and find that risk management has been involved in various fields such as credit, supply chain, health emergency, and disaster. By the bibliometric analysis, Chen et al [ 39 ] reveal that purification or removal techniques can effectively remove pharmaceutical compounds from the water environment.…”

Mapping the landscape: a bibliometric analysis of ISO 31000

“…Most ISO 31000 existing literature reviews are conducted as part of a general RM literature review (e.g. Ganbat et al, 2018;Jiang et al, 2022;Kilubi, 2016;Zhang et al, 2023;Ahmeti and Vladi, 2017). The reviews do not specialize in ISO 31000-based RM literature and only concentrate on specific areas or sectors such as the public sector (e.g.…”

“…Kilubi, 2016) and East Asia (e.g. Zhang et al, 2023). Regarding methodology, most of these studies (e.g.…”

“…Regarding methodology, most of these studies (e.g. Ganbat et al, 2018;Jiang et al, 2022;Kilubi, 2016;Zhang et al, 2023) retrieved data from a single database (e.g. Scopus or Web of Science or the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)).…”
