Twenty years of Public Management Review (PMR): a bibliometric overview

摘要

This study aims to mark the 20th anniversary of Public Management Review (PMR) by providing a retrospective into its journey over the past 20 years using bibliometric analysis. The findings indicate that PMR has seen a great rise in both its productivity and reputation. Clustering of articles using bibliographic coupling reveals that the content of the journal is primarily focused on the issues such as interorganizational collaborations and public-private partnerships (PPPs), reforms in public management, management, leadership, governance, challenges, accountability and innovation in public service organizations. The journal has seen an expansion in themes since its inception.
