Over the past 28 years, studies relating to human values in the Journal of Human Values (JHV) have grown significantly both in numbers and impact. This study aims to map the major intellectual structure of research published in the JHV and suggest a way forward for prospective researchers to make meaningful contributions to the study of human values.
Design/Methodology/Approach:
A bibliometric analysis of 431 articles and reviews published in the JHV since the inception of the journal in 1995 till date of this study was carried out. The list of publications was sourced from the Scopus database. VOSviewer, an open-source software was used for analysis that included citation analysis, cluster analysis and keyword analysis.
Findings:
The findings include the identification of key themes and impactful researchers contributing to the JHV. Science mapping was performed using a co-occurrence analysis of 942 keywords, across 431 articles. One-hundred six articles met the threshold of at least two similar keywords. The analysis reveals seven clusters and major themes. Fifty percent of the publications are from India, where the journal is based; however, significant global contributions are made from across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
Originality/Value:
This analysis offers insights on the themes and trends of research published in the JHV using bibliometric techniques and can be a useful resource for prospective researchers.
