Thematic and Conceptual Analysis of the Journal of World Economy (Revista de Economía Mundial) Using SciMAT

Abstract

This paper carries out a bibliometric study of the Journal of World Economy (Revista de Economía Mundial) for the period 2008 to 2021 using the SciMAT software, with the aim of discerning how the published research has evolved and the main areas of study have developed, as well as to indicate future lines that could be prioritized. The results obtained reveal that “economic growth” has been the journal’s main theme through the entire period and that “European Union” has been the basic area of research. At the same time, few articles have referred to highly topical issues such as the green transition of the world economy.
