Abstract

Resources Policy is a leading international journal in the field of economics and policy issues related to mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and use. The journal was created in 1974 and in 2024 celebrates its 50th anniversary. Motivated by this special event, this paper presents a bibliometric overview of the leading trends of the journal during its first half-century of existence. This paper analyses Resources Policy's publication and citation structure using the Web of Science Core Collection and examines various aspects, including the most cited documents, productive authors, institutions, countries, and popular keywords, and topics. The paper also develops a graphical visualization of the bibliographic data using the Visualization of Similarities (VOS) viewer software. This approach utilises various bibliometric techniques, including bibliographic coupling, co-citation, and co-occurrence of keywords. The results demonstrate a significant expansion of the journal over the past five years and highlight its global profile, with publications from around the world. Currently, Chinese researchers are the most productive, due to a significant increase in their contributions over the last five years.

资源政策 50 年：文献计量分析

资源政策》是与矿物和化石燃料开采、生产和使用相关的经济学和政策问题领域的国际领先期刊。该期刊创刊于 1974 年，2024 年将迎来创刊 50 周年。在这一特殊事件的推动下，本文对《资源政策》创刊半个世纪以来的主要发展趋势进行了文献计量学概述。本文利用 Web of Science 核心合集分析了《资源政策》的出版和引文结构，并从多个方面进行了研究，包括被引用次数最多的文献、高产作者、机构、国家、热门关键词和主题。本文还利用 "相似性可视化"（Visualization of Similarities，VOS）浏览器软件开发了书目数据可视化图形。这种方法利用了各种文献计量技术，包括书目耦合、共引和关键词共现。研究结果表明，在过去的五年中，该期刊的规模有了显著的扩大，并突出了其全球性的特点，其出版物来自世界各地。目前，中国研究人员的贡献率最高，因为在过去五年中，他们的贡献率显著增加。

期刊介绍： Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
