Abstract

The development of nonprofit, voluntary action, and philanthropic studies and the history of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly (NVSQ) are interwoven. When NVSQ, initially the Journal of Voluntary Action Research (JVAR), was founded in 1972 as the first scholarly journal for an aspiring “field,” nonprofit and civil society research was limited and scattered across disciplines. It had a somewhat stronger presence in sociology than other disciplines but was still sparse. Today, with more than 700 submissions annually from scholars in 54 countries, NVSQ at 50 reflects the remark-able advancement of a multidisciplinary field. As we celebrate this milestone of the journal, and its parent association the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), we assess the path that NVSQ has carved out, and how it has done so, in relation to the growth of the nonprofit field. Several bibliometric studies have sought to identify key themes, patterns of topics over time, and distinctive periods in “nonprofit” research (Brudney & Durden, 1993; Kang et al., 2022; Le-Pere Schloop & Nesbit, this issue; Ma & Konrath, 2018; Shier & Handy, 2014). Through systematic content analysis of large data sets of titles, abstracts, or citations, bibliometric methodologies produce valuable assessments of the publication output, evolution, and impact of a research genre

NVSQ：前五十年及其后

非营利组织、志愿行动和慈善研究的发展与非营利组织和志愿部门季刊（NVSQ）的历史交织在一起。1972年，当NVSQ，最初是《自愿行动研究杂志》（JVAR），作为第一本有抱负的“领域”学术期刊成立时，非营利组织和民间社会的研究是有限的，分散在各个学科之间。它在社会学中的地位比其他学科更强，但仍然很少。如今，来自54个国家的学者每年提交700多份报告，50岁的NVSQ反映了多学科领域的显著进步。在我们庆祝该杂志及其母协会非营利组织和志愿行动研究协会（ARNOVA）的这一里程碑之际，我们评估了NVSQ开辟的道路，以及它是如何与非营利领域的发展相关的。一些文献计量学研究试图确定“非营利”研究中的关键主题、主题随时间的变化模式和独特时期（Brudney&Durden，1993；Kang等人，2022；Le Pere-Schloop&Nesbit，本期；马和康拉特，2018；希尔和汉迪，2014）。通过对标题、摘要或引文的大型数据集进行系统的内容分析，文献计量方法对研究流派的出版物产出、演变和影响进行了有价值的评估
