The spotty progress of neuroscience in the management fields: evidence from bibliometrics and topic modeling techniques

Neuroscience is spreading differently in management fields, and little retrospective work on this spotty evolution has been made. This paper presents findings from bibliometric and topic modeling analyses to depict the progress of neuroscience in management. Firstly, we identified 151 published studies and described the research area by identifying the publishing trend and the most impactful publications. Secondly, we used bibliometrics and data mapping techniques to represent established and emergent research clusters. Thirdly and finally, a more thorough content analysis through topic modeling identified research topics for each of the management branches in which neuroscience has developed so far.
