Article - ournal of Intellectual Capital: a review of emerging themes and future trends Vol. 22, No. 4 Halaman: 744–767
Purpose – This article aims to provide a bibliometric and systematic literature analysis of studies published in
the Journal of Intellectual Capital (JIC) from 2014 to 2018 in order to highlight emerging themes and future
trends.
Design/methodology/approach – The analysis focused on 187 papers published on JIC over a period of five
years. A scientometric approach to data mining enabled the detection of patterns in the dataset. Precisely, the
investigation was conducted by integrating a bibliometric analysis on VOSviewer with a systematic literature
review.
Findings – Four main streams of research on JIC emerged in the years of the analysis: reporting and disclosure
of intellectual capital; intellectual capital research in universities, education and public sector; knowledge
management; intellectual capital, financial performance, and market value.
Research limitations/implications – The study offers valid insights to the topics covered by the Journal of
Intellectual Capital by identifying the main research gaps and trends, along with future research avenues.
Originality/value – Prior scholars mostly focused on systematic literature reviews, whilst the use of
bibliometric methods generally seems to be a missing tile in the research domain. Also, none of the extant
studies has focused on the Journal of Intellectual Capital with reference to the 2014–2018 period. The use of both
bibliometric and systematic approaches to literature review delivered extremely fine-tuned results in terms of
factors such as citations, contents and evolution of clusters over time.
