Bibliometric Analysis Of Publications On Furniture Innovation

This study analyzed 696 publications obtained from the Web of Science database using specific keywords using bibliometric methods in order to reveal scientific developments in the field of furniture innovation. The study examined the number of publications, author and institutional collaborations, country-based productivity, keyword usage, and citation distribution. According to the analysis, the number of publications remained low until 2006, but increased from that year onward, reaching a peak of 52 publications in 2017. There is a difference between the most productive and the most cited authors. The most cited study is the article titled "Knowledge bases and regional innovation systems: comparing Nordic clusters." On an institutional basis, the most productive institutions and the most cited institutions are different. The most influential institution has been Lund University in Sweden. Although China was the most productive country, it fell behind in the number of citations, while Italy stood out in terms of both productivity and impact. According to the collaboration analysis, A.P. Barcic is the author with the most collaborations, and the UK is the country with the most international collaborations. It has been determined that the concepts of "design", "sustainability" and "competitiveness" are used as frequently as "innovation" and "furniture".
