Full text access: Open
In this paper bibliometric (co-citation analysis) and social network analysis techniques are used to investigate the intellectual pillars of the literature in Research Policy. We apply a cross-level type of analysis to provide a comprehensive picture of deeper disciplinary roots, long-term subjects and time-varying discourses. In practice, we map the research concerns at the journal, author and publication level which represent disciplines, subjects and themes. By applying this multi-dimensional view we provide insights into hierarchical and interlinked patterns of the evolving scientific discourse. We position dominant subjects around a shared common core of literature and discuss recent changes in themes in relation to possible future work. Last but not least we significantly find evidence for the discipline-spanning as well as integrating effects of the scientific discourse within research policy which justifies its characterization as a discipline of its own.
