Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS) between 2000 and 2018
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
All scientific journals need to be regularly monitored and evaluated from a bibliometric perspective. The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS) founded in 1998 is dedicated to the topics related to artificial societies and social simulation. It is a pioneering journal with the global audience and international authors. Bibliometric analysis of this journal can be helpful in evaluating its scientific performance and research quality. In this study, the number of JASSS papers, highly-cited papers, the most prolific authors, the most active research institutions and countries were identified and their keyword and term co-occurrences and journal and author co-citation maps were visualized in the period 2000–2018 by using various bibliometric indicators in VOSviewer bibliometric software package. The results showed that with a high contribution to the field and a scientific collaboration with other related journals, JASSS had found its way in the field of social simulation and achieved an academic level. This study provides a reference for future studies by exploring the knowledge structures and publishing trends of JASSS. The bibliometrics analysis and visualization of JASSS can be a useful for either library and information science (LIS) scholars or the people interested in bibliometric studies; therefore, they can use it as a pattern to review other journals.
