A Bibliometric Analysis of IEEE T-ITS Literature Between 2010 and 2019

IEEE Transactions 0n Intelligent Transportation Systems (T-ITS) has become a leading international journal in the field of ITS since its first issue published in 2000. To obtain a structural overview as well as the evolution of T-ITS in the last decade (2010–2019), the authors present a comprehensive bibliometric analysis from multiple perspectives based on the articles published during the same period in this paper. The analyses of the T-ITS literature include: (a) statistical analysis;(b) topic analysis; and (c) network analysis. Statistical analysis was first conducted to identify the most highly cited papers, then the top productive and influential authors, institutions and countries/regions were given from paper counts and citations respectively. In order to identify important topics and patterns of evolution, author keywords were used to identify the most frequent topics and the theme river map can visually demonstrate their corresponding trends. Furthermore, keyword co-occurrence network was constructed to reveal the hotspots and the research landscape within this field. In addition, three networks are provided to visualize the relationships and reveal the collaboration patterns from different perspectives, including authors, institutions and countries/regions. The results provide an insight on the characteristics of the publications over the last decade, from which the authors can know the key contributors and groups who brought the significant growth of the journal. This paper can benefit researchers in terms of promoting understanding of the entire field with the development status and trends.
