Thirty years of the International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing : a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

The International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing was established in 1988 with the idea of advancing research in computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) technologies and promoting the application of those technologies within industry. The journal was created to facilitate the exchange of new knowledge between industry and academia derived from both research and practical application. To celebrate the 30-year journey of the journal, this study develops a bibliometric analysis of all the publications of the journal to 2017. Information was collected using the Web of Science Core Collection database. The present study has been conducted to highlight the significant contributions of the journal in terms of impact, topics, authors, universities and countries. Finally, visualisation of similarities (VOS) viewer software was used to present graphical representations of the bibliographic coupling, co-citation, citation, co-authorship and co-occurrence of keywords.
