Research Hotspot and Frontier Analysis of Supply Interruption Based on WOS Core Database and Citespace

Abstract

The performance of supply chain members is largely negatively affected by the risk of supply disruptions. In recent years, the potential risk of supply disruption caused by global emergencies has increased dramatically, and the issue of supply disruption has gradually become the focus of scholars, especially in terms of how to reduce risks and formulate emergency strategies. This article provides an in-depth exploration of the field of supply disruption through a comprehensive bibliometric review and visualization of 643 publications in the WOS core database. In addition, time distribution, influential authors, organizations, and core journals are analyzed in detail based on the CiteSpace visualization tool. Through core author analysis, literature co-citation, keyword clustering and highlighting, key research topics and future development trends in the field of supply disruption were determined. This paper combines bibliometric methods with system totals to provide researchers and practitioners in the field of supply disruption with important clues to capture current research hotspots and potential research directions.
