A Conceptual Snapshot of the First Decade (2002-2011) of the International Journal of Information Technology & Decision Making

In this paper, we carry out a study about the main themes treated by the International Journal of Information Technology & Decision Making during its ̄rst 10 years (2002 2011). The themes are detected, quanti ̄ed and visualized using an approach that combines performance analysis and science mapping. Bibliometric maps based on co-word analysis will help us to visualize the division of the journal into several sub ̄elds and their relationships, providing interesting insight into the main topics being discussed in the journal in these years. In addition, the study will show the most productive themes (according to published papers) and the most impacting ones (according to received citations).
