EXAMINATION OF THE EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL INNOVATION BY THE SCIENCE MAPPING METHOD
Abstract
Purpose- The main objective of this study is to
investigate the evolution of the concept of social innovation from 1966 to the
present day. Methodology- Bibliometric analysis
enables researchers to examine statistically the country, author(s),
cooperation among authors, citations, institutions, and published years of
selected publications and to put forward the general structure of a certain
discipline using obtained statistical findings. On the other hand, scientific
mappling analysis is a method that concentrates on determining the evolution of
a scientific field and its constrained scientific areas. In order to better
understand how the evolution of the concept of social innovation changes and
develops during the sample period, firstly, a bibliometric and secondly a
scientific mapping analysis were performed and the findings were interpreted.
Findings- SciMAT
package program was used to perform scientific mapping analysis. Results reveal
that there are 1,428 publications concentrating social innovation under Scopus
database, while 58.1% (830) of them were articles, 16% (229) of them were
conference papers, 11.2% (160) of them were book chapters and the rest of them
was other publications.
Conclusion- A thematic
change was generally found for the concept of social innovation for the sample
period of 1966-2016. The corresponding thematic change was generally evolved by
the prominence and the decline of some associated scientific areas.
