The findings of this bibliometric study can be useful for sport researchers and theeditorial board of the above-mentioned journal. The results of this study showed that countriessuch as the United States of America and Australia, and universities such as Griffith Universityand Deakin University have the highest number of publications in the journal of f

Management Review. Moreover, D.C. Funk and S. Fairley are the most prolific authors. Also,based on the journal evaluation criteria of Web of Science, the Impact Factor of SportManagement Review has grown steadily over the years. The co-occurrence map based on theauthor-supplied keywords of the papers published in SMR indicates that the keywords sport,marketing, intercollegiate athletics, sport development, sponsorship, sport management, sportpolicy, social media, professional sport, and sport marketing were the most co-occurrences andthe hot topics in the journal of SMR. The current bibliometric study indicates the growingimportance of international journal of SMR in terms of research and citation impacts.KeywordsBibliometric analysis; Network analysis; Research trends; Sport Management Review;ScientometricIntroductionPeer-reviewed academic journals are the most reliable and trustworthy source of scientificinformation. They are one of the most important means of information dissemination in theworld, so that they are widely considered and used by researchers and students in all disciplines.Therefore, the most recent scientific findings can be found in specialized and scientific journals,and researchers in all disciplines should read them and write for them. Scientific journals are themain publication channel in many scientific disciplines and provide the latest discoveries andachievements, and due to this feature, they are of particular importance to researchers. Therefore,scientific journals have attracted the attention of scholars and scientists in tracking and tracing ofresearch trends in various scientific fields, especially for researchers and policymakers of scienceand technology. Monitoring research trends helps researchers, scientists, policy makers, andtechnology developers to understand the process of science and technology development (Wang,Wang & Zhou, 2012; Wang & Fang, 2016).Many studies around the world in the field of scientometrics and research trends analysis arecarried out using bibliometric techniques to analyze a specific research area or a special journal.The purpose of this bibliometric study was to investigate the research trends of the journal ofSport Management Review based on the Web of Science (WoS) citation database in the period2011-2018.Elsevier (2018) presents this journal in the following words: "Sport Management Review ispublished as a service to sport industries worldwide. It is a multidisciplinary journal concernedwith the management, marketing, and governance of sport at all levels and in all itsmanifestations -- whether as an entertainment, a recreation, or an occupation." The journal ofSport Management Review (SMR) is published on behalf of the Sport Management 200.pdf

of Australia and New Zealand. The Editor-in-chief of SMR is George B. Cunningham, aprofessor of sport management at Texas A&M University. It is published by Elsevier form 1998."The journal is indexed by the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus citation databases. The ImpactFactor (IF) of SMR is 3.516, based on the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) of WoS in 2017. Manyjournals are published internationally in the field of sports science and physical education. SMRis categorized in the quartile 1 (Q1) of the JCR in the following categories:o Hospitality, Leisure, Sport & Tourism; ando Management.The aim of this bibliometric study was to investigate the research trends of the journal of SMRbased on the WoS citation database in the period 2011-2018 from various bibliometric indicators'perspectives. Although many bibliometric research have been done on journals, there is lack ofresearch done on research trends of journals. Several previous bibliometric studies have beendone on journals, including: A Bibliometric Analysis of Four Sport Management Journals(Shilbury, 2011a), Bibliometric Analysis of the Journal of Structural Chemistry (Buznik et al.,2004), A Bibliometric Analysis on the Journal of Information Science (Tsay, 2011a), Abibliometric analysis of the Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling (Willett, 2007),Bibliometric analysis of the journal literature on women’s studies (Tsay & Li, 2017),Bibliometrics of electronic journals in information science (Hawkins 2001), Bibliometricanalysis of English-language academic journals of China and their internationalization (Wang,Wang & Weldon, 2007), A bibliometric study of citations to sport management and marketingjournals (Shilbury, 2011b), A bibliometric analysis and comparison on three information sciencejournals: JASIST, IPM, JOD, 1998–2008 (Tsay, 2011b), A bibliometric analysis of hydrogenenergy literature, 1965–2005 (Tsay, 2008), A bibliometric analysis of physics publications inKorea, 1994-1998 (Kim, 2001), A bibliometric analysis of occupational therapy publications(Brown et al., 2018), Bibliometric and scientometric analysis of the articles published in thejournal of religion and health between 1975 and 2016 (Şenel & Demir, 2018).Materials and MethodsThe present applied study was conducted on the basis of a quantitative and descriptive researchusing scientometric techniques and network analysis based on bibliographic records of Web ofScience. The bibliographic details with regard to each published article such as number ofauthors, name of authors, country of authors, number of references and their forms, etc., wererecorded and analyzed for making observations. The research data were collected, organized andanalyzed using MS-Excel spreadsheets. The tables and graphs were generated in accordance withthe objectives of the research. The population of the current study included all documentspublished in the journal of Sport Management Review published in the period 2011-2018 andindexed in the Web of Science Core Collection published by Clarivate Analytics. This study wasdone in two steps, each of which is described df

Data RetrievalThe data were collected on April 23, 2018 from the Web of Science (WoS) citation database,which means that research trend data analyzed at other points in time could yield differentresults. The search strategy was constructed using the advanced search of WoS for: SO "SportManagement Review" AND PY 1998-2018. A total number of 403 documents were obtainedand exported in the Histcite software for further analysis.Data extraction was done in two steps. First, the data was read by the HistCite software in PlainText format in a 500-bit category and then entered into the HistCite for analysis. Secondly, theextracted data were entered into the VOSviewer software for bibliometric visualization. The datain the tab-delimited format (Win, UTF-8) was stored in a 500-bit category and entered into theVOSviewer software for analysis.Data AnalysisThe bibliographic records of all 403 records of the Sport Management Review journal, indexed inWoS from 2011-2018 are stored in Plain Text and Tab-delimited formats (Win, UTF-8) andentered in the HistCite and VOSviewer softwares for final analysis. The HistCite software wasused to analyze the data on research trends, the type of documents published, the identification ofinstitutions, countries, and authors in the journal. The VOSviewer software was used forrevealing the thematic content of the publication set based on the analysis of the keywords,applying term co-occurrence mapping techniques.The Nodexl software was used to analyze co-authorship networks and patterns of scientificcollaboration among countries and institutions using network analysis indicators. For datareadability, VOSviewer was used as a data interface for Nodexl. Data were first entered as tabdelimited (Win, UTF-8) into VOSviewer and then data were presented in Pajek's ".net" format.The extracted data were analyzed by Nodexl.ResultsResearch Impact of Sport Management ReviewSince the number of scientific documents is merely an indicator that reflects a small amount ofresearch, so in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the research trends of SportManagement Review, the citation rate and research impact (i.e., impact factor, h-index, etc.) ofthe journal has been reviewed. For this purpose, the scientific quality of the SMR journal, theimpact factor values and other bibliometric indicators of journals (i.e., impact factor (IF), 5 yearimpact factor (5-IF), average journal impact factor (AJIF), IF without self-cites, impact factorwithout journal self-cites, and Eigenfactor score, immediacy index, cited half-life, and h-index)of the journal of SMR have been examined in Table 1.226http://www.webology.org/2019/v16n2/a200.pdf

Table 1.

The Eigenfactor Score of the journal has grown from yearto year, from 0.00074 in 2014 to 0.00100 in 2017, which is slightly lower than in 2016. Theimmediacy index of the journal was 0.659 in 2017, rising from 2014 and 2015. Cited half-life ofthe journal was 4.9 in 2014 and increased further in 2017 to 5.4. Judging from Web of Science,the h-index of the journal is 29, which means that at least 29 articles have been cited at least 29times, over the whole publishing history. The highest cited article ever has 73 citations. Figure 1indicates the distribution number of publication in SMR per year.Figure 1 illustrates the publication trends of SMR (the total number of documents published inthis journal) over the past seven-years from 2011 to 2018, and Global Citation Score (GCS) ofthese years. Figure 1 shows that in the period from 2011 to 2018, a total of 403 documents havebeen published in SMR. It is remarkable that the highest number of documents published in SMRwere appeared in 2015 and 2016 with 57 and 55 documents, respectively. The Global CitationScore of these years were 611 and 254, separately. While the lowest number of documents waspublished in 2011, which were 41 documents. The Global Citation Score of 2011 also shows thatthe highest Global Citation Score is for this year with a global score of 744.Figure 1. Distribution number of publication in Sport Management Review per yearThe results in Table 2 shows that, in total, four types of documents have been published in SMR,in which the original articles with 297 documents and the Total Global Citation Score (TGCS) of227http://www.webology.org/2019/v16n2/a200.pdf

2893 ranked first, and the book reviews with 59 documents and the Total Global Citation Score0.1 ranked second. As presented in Table 2, these two types of documents were 88.4 percent ofthe most frequent type of documents published in SMR. Also review articles and editorialmaterials each with 41 and 6 documents respectively ranked next, which accounted for 11.6percent of the total number of documents published in SMR. The results indicate that the totalnumber of citations (TNC) to the journal is 3594.Table 2.

It states that ". the number (of authors) making ncontributions is about 1/n² of those making one; and the proportion of all contributors, that makea single contribution, is about 60 percent" (Lotka, 1926). This means that out of all the authors ina given journal, 60 percent will have just one publication, and 15 percent will have twopublications (1/2² times .60). Seven percent of authors will have three publications (1/3² times.60), and so on. According to Lotka's Law, only six percent of the authors in a journal willproduce more than 10 documents.As shown in Table 6, the analysis of authors of documents published in SMR demonstrates thatthere are 506 single-authors and 42 two-authors. While according to Lotka's Law of authorship,the number of authors of two-documents must be 126. There are also 17 authors with f

documents that should be 56 according to Lotka's Law. To briefly summarize, Table 6 indicatesthat the single authorship pattern has the most productive publications in SMR. The results ofTable 6 indicate that the Lotka's Law was not applicable for this journal, since the numbersobtained in this research are significantly different from the predicted numbers of Lotka.Table 6.
