Paper
posted on
The
purpose of this research is to assess the universal scientific trends
and examine the patterns in the intellectual research published on trade
liberalization over a period of 35 years (1980-2015). The data were
collected from a leading indexing and abstracting database Thomson
Reuters Web of Science. The Kruskal-Walis test, ANOVA and Pearson’s
correlation were employed in analyzing the retrieved data. Based on the
citation trend of first 100 highly cited published articles with the
least number of authors are found to have received the highest number of
citations. Our result shows that there is actual statistical
significance (p˂ 0.001) between the total citations attracted by
articles published by 1 author and those published by 3 and 4 authors.
The word trade liberalization has become dominant and consistent in the
field of the study. These research trend and interest could provide
focus to researchers for future research.
