Charting the Course: A Bibliometric Analysis of Emerging Trends in Communication and Resilience Research
Abstract
This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on Communication and Resilience from 1998 to 2023. This study explores research dynamics, publication growth, and emerging trends, with a focus on international collaboration and geographic distribution. The main objective of this research is to provide a holistic view of the evolution and future direction of the field of communication and resilience research, as well as to identify potential areas for further innovation and investigation. Through data collection from the Scopus database, the study identified 243 documents from 180 sources, showing a significant annual growth rate of 16.84% and a wide diversity of topics. The analysis showed the dominance of several journals in publication, with the "Journal of Applied Communication Research" leading the way. Key findings include exponential growth in communication- and resilience-related publications, especially since 2016, and a significant increase in international cooperation. The research uncovers important contributions from several authors and universities, highlighting collaborative tendencies and broad academic influence. Thematic analyses emphasise aspects such as emotion regulation, self-awareness, and resilience in the face of crisis, with the recent shift towards "self-compassion". The research provides a holistic view of the communication and resilience research landscape, highlighting potential areas for innovation and further investigation. It recommends greater cross-border cooperation, utilisation of advanced technologies, and increased open access to ensure widespread dissemination and utilisation of knowledge.
