A bibliometric analysis of dance performance reviews in the dance category of the Web of Science

Abstract

Dance performance reviews (D. P. reviews) are one document type in the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI). In this paper we analyze D. P. reviews in Web of Science from 1992 to 2016 in terms of their languages, publication outputs, authors and, journals. The results show the reviews were written in seven languages in all (though mainly English), most were published by a single-author, and that most authors preferred to publish their works in the same journal. The most productive authors were Jack Anderson, a member of advisory board of Dance Chronicle, and Jonathan Gray who was the editor of Dancing Times. The leading topic was ballet, and Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, and Cinderella were typical topics for D. P. reviews. In recent years the most popular topics were Triple Bills, Double Bills, and Mixed Bills.
