The objective of the current study is to overview the British Food
Journal publications from 2010 to 2020. To address
our purpose, bibliometric and visualization analyses were used. Firstly, a
total of 1892 documents published from 2010 to 2020 in the British Food Journal
(BFJ) was obtained from the Web of Science database (WoS).
Then, the analyses were made by running VOS viewer software. In the process of
analyzing data, we have principally considered some bibliometric indicators
such as the number of annual publications, the most productive organizations,
the most cited papers, the most contributing countries, the most productive
authors, the co-occurrence of author keywords, the co-authorship of countries,
and the co-citation of authors. The results show that BFJ is
one of the leading and prominent journals with the number of publications
increasing each year according to the basic indicators mentioned above. Further
to this, the most productive and contributing authors, institutions, and
countries are mainly from European countries. The most common researched fields
according to the co-occurrence of author keywords are listed as “consumer
behavior, food safety, food products, food industry, food, nutrition, organic
food, sustainability, and consumer”. BFJ is a pioneer, international and interdisciplinary journal in the
context of ‘food’ and ‘tourism’ since 1899. Although it is highly respected
worldwide, there has been no other research that analyzes the papers of BFJ by
bibliometric approach. This article thus is the first extensive study to
provide an overview of the BFJ's leading trends and researchers over the period
2010 and 2020. Therefore, the current study may help in objectively
understanding the development of the BFJ and it may provide a valuable
reference for scholars whose is studying food and tourism.
