Synopsis
In this study, the journal Supply Chain Forum International Journal (SCFIJ) was analysed using the bibliometric method. The Web of Science (WoS) database was searched and a total of 216 publications were obtained. When these publications were analysed, a significant increase in the number of publications was observed in 2024. Ruel S., Large R.O. and Noireaux V. stand out among the authors with the most publications in the journal. In the country analysis, France is by far the leader with 164 publications. Among the most cited studies, the theme of digital transformation stands out. The SCFIJ journal mainly contains publications on the supply chain, and blockchain, IoT, circular economy, traceability, artificial intelligence and automation are among the most discussed concepts. In addition, it was found that some research topics in the SCFIJ journal have changed since 2024. For example, Industry 4.0 is more closely associated with digital transformation after 2024. The bibliographic analyses show that the journals fall into two main groups within the common citation network. In the author-based analysis, four main themes were found to be prominent. This study is important because it reveals the basic dynamics of the SCFIJ literature. In addition to making a theoretical contribution to the supply chain literature, it provides a perspective on the field by analysing trends in the literature.
