Methodology

Bibliometrics is usually defined as a research field which evaluates the bibliographic data using quantitative techniques (Broadus, 1987; Pritchard, 1969) and is considered valuable in providing a general informative view about any research area (Cancino et al., 2017). Many studies using bibliometrics have been reported in the extant literature in a wide range of areas including management, finance, business economics, safety science, entrepreneurship, economics, operations, marketing, and psychology etc. (Merigó and Yang, 2017; Cheng, 2016; Podsakoff et al., 2008; Tur-Porcar et al., 2018; Laengle et al., 2017; Castillo-Vergara et al., 2018; Martínez-López et al. 2018).
