ABSTRACT
In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, this study presents a general overview of the journal from 1998 to 2017 by using a bibliometric analysis. The objective is to identify the leading trends that have affected the journal during this time frame. In so doing, this study analyses a wide range of bibliometric issues including the publication and citation evolution of the journal, articles that cite the IJLRA, most-cited papers, most productive and influential authors, institutions and countries, and the evolution of author keywords. Additionally, the work develops a graphical visualisation of the bibliographic material published in IJLRA.
