The latest publication by PortEconomics co-director, Theo Notteboom, along with esteemed colleagues Shuang Yuan, Peng Jia, and Qifei Ma, in the renowned International Journal of Transport Economics is available.
The paper titled “Emerging Trends and Developments in Multimodal Freight Transportation: a Scientometric Analysis Using CiteSpace“ presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis of the evolution of multimodal freight transportation research over the past few decades.
With a focus on 1297 articles published between 1996 and 2021, the study delineates three distinct stages of development: embryonic, fast-paced, and steady. Leveraging CiteSpace, the analysis delves into various dimensions of research trends, including categories, international collaboration among authors and institutions, highly cited papers and authors, and emerging hot topics. By employing co-word analysis, co-citation analysis, and clustering techniques, the paper sheds light on the interdisciplinary nature of this field and provides valuable insights into its longitudinal developments.
