A comparative bibliometric analysis of five major energy journals
This bibliometric review compares Energy Economics (EE), a leading journal on the economics and finance of energy, with four major journals of the field, namely Energy Policy (EP), Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM), Resource and Energy Economics (REE), and The Energy Journal (TEJ), over last 25 years. It first identifies publication trends showing that the citations per article have been declining in all five journals. Secondly, the prominence of Chinese authors and institutions is noted for EE and EP, whereas U.S. based authors and institutions are dominant in the rest of the energy journals under study. Thirdly, an analysis based on keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling reveals that EE's central themes are related to energy market dynamics, economic growth, and the energy-environment nexus. These themes are shared with TEJ and EP, though the focus of EP is more regulatory and policy oriented, whereas JEEM and REE emphasize ecological economics, biodiversity, and energy conservation. We suggest that these energy journals should expand their coverage to socio-technical transition to foster efforts directed towards achieving both energy and economic sustainability.
期刊介绍:
Energy Economics is a field journal that focuses on energy economics and energy finance. It covers various themes including the exploitation, conversion, and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy. The journal welcomes contributions that utilize diverse methods such as experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models. It publishes a combination of papers employing different methods to explore a wide range of topics. The journal's replication policy encourages the submission of replication studies, wherein researchers reproduce and extend the key results of original studies while explaining any differences. Energy Economics is indexed and abstracted in several databases including Environmental Abstracts, Fuel and Energy Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, GEOBASE, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Economic Literature, INSPEC, and more.
