Abstract

Bibliometric analysis has recently become a popular and rigorous technique used for exploring and analyzing the literature in business and management. Prior studies principally focused on ‘how to do bibliometric analysis’, presenting an overview of the bibliometric methodology along with various techniques and step-by-step guidelines that can be relied on to rigorously conduct bibliometric analysis. However, the current body of evidence is limited in its ability to provide practical knowledge that can enhance the design and performance of bibliometric research. This claim is supported even by the fact that relevant studies refer to their work as ‘bibliometric analysis’ rather than ‘bibliometric research’. Accordingly, we endeavor to offer a more functional framework for researchers who wish to design/conduct bibliometric research on any field of research, especially business and management. To do this, we followed a twofold way. We first outlined the main stages and steps of typical bibliometric research. Then, we proposed a comprehensive framework for specifying how to design/conduct the research and under what headings the relevant stages (step-by-step) will be used and/or presented. Thus, the current paper is expected to be a useful source to gain insights into the available techniques and guide researchers in designing/conducting bibliometric research.

如何设计文献计量学研究：概述和框架建议

摘要近年来，文献计量分析已成为探索和分析商业与管理文献的一种流行而严谨的技术。之前的研究主要集中在 "如何进行文献计量分析"，介绍了文献计量学方法概述、各种技术以及可用于严格进行文献计量分析的分步指南。然而，现有的证据在提供实用知识以提高文献计量学研究的设计和绩效方面能力有限。即使相关研究将其工作称为 "文献计量分析 "而非 "文献计量研究"，也证明了这一点。因此，我们努力为希望在任何研究领域（尤其是商业和管理领域）设计/开展文献计量学研究的研究人员提供一个更实用的框架。为此，我们从两方面着手。首先，我们概述了典型文献计量学研究的主要阶段和步骤。然后，我们提出了一个综合框架，用于说明如何设计/开展研究，以及将在哪些标题下使用和/或介绍相关阶段（分步骤）。因此，本文有望成为了解现有技术和指导研究人员设计/开展文献计量学研究的有用资料。

期刊介绍： Review of Managerial Science (RMS) provides a forum for innovative research from all scientific areas of business administration. The journal publishes original research of high quality and is open to various methodological approaches (analytical modeling, empirical research, experimental work, methodological reasoning etc.). The scope of RMS encompasses – but is not limited to – accounting, auditing, banking, business strategy, corporate governance, entrepreneurship, financial structure and capital markets, health economics, human resources management, information systems, innovation management, insurance, marketing, organization, production and logistics, risk management and taxation. RMS also encourages the submission of papers combining ideas and/or approaches from different areas in an innovative way. Review papers presenting the state of the art of a research area and pointing out new directions for further research are also welcome. The scientific standards of RMS are guaranteed by a rigorous, double-blind peer review process with ad hoc referees and the journal´s internationally composed editorial board.
