This study presents a taxonomy and content analysis of research in port economics, policy and management (‘port studies’) that were published the period 1997-2008. There is a growing interest in the study of ports, yet the research characteristics and directions of this research field are unidentified. This study provides a unique systematic analysis of port studies published the period 1997‐2008. Based on a cross‐citation analysis and content survey, seven themes of port studies are identified The content of each theme is analysed by focusing on research topics, widely used research questions, concepts and research methods, and the most important research findings. Finally, it identifies emerging research questions that still need to be answered.
