EVOLUTION AND BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE JOURNAL CUADERNOS DE TURISMO (1998-2019)

In recent years, bibliometric studies that analyze scientific production in the field of tourism have proliferated. Koseoglu et al identified 190 articles based on bibliometric analyses, published in nine of the main tourism and hospitality journals, between 1988 and 2015. They detected a significant increase in the number of bibliometric studies from 2008. The most frequent bibliometric studies in tourism are review studies. Koseoglu et al divide them into six types, depending on whether they focus on the discipline, themes, methodologies, samples, contributors or journals, although there is inevitably some overlap among them. Those focused on the discipline evaluate research in the field of tourism as a whole, emphasizing one or more dimensions.
