A bibliometric analysis of emergency management using information systems (2000-2016)

Purpose This paper presents a statistical analysis of research into emergency management using information systems for the period 2000-2016. Design/methodology/approach In this study, research trends in the area of emergency management using information systems are analysed using various parameters, including trends on publications and citations, disciplinary distribution, journals, research institutions and regional cooperation. Through a keyword co-occurrence analysis, this study identifies the evolution of the main keywords in this area, and examines the changes and developments in the main focus of scholars in this period. The study also explores the main research orientations in the field by analysing and integrating the results of two cluster analyses conducted from keyword- and reference-based perspectives, respectively. Findings The area of emergency management using information systems have received increased attention and interest by researchers and practitioners. It is suggested that more coope...
