Abstract

The Economic Record is a leading scholarly journal in economics, with a particular focus on issues of national and international policy relevance. Established in 1925, the journal has played a central role in advancing economic research in Australia and beyond. To commemorate its 100th anniversary in 2025, this study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of its publication and citation landscape. Drawing on all publications indexed in the Scopus database (1925–2024) and the Web of Science Core Collection (1966–2024), this paper examines highly cited documents, prolific authors, institutions and countries of origin, and evolving research themes. A suite of bibliometric techniques including co‐citation, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co‐occurrence was employed using VOSviewer and bibliometrix. The findings highlight the journal's deep and evolving contributions to fields such as labour economics, macroeconomic modelling, and public policy, with particularly strong participation from institutions in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The journal's growth and global engagement over recent decades underscore its status as a vital platform for applied economic research.
