Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive synthesis of research trends and themes in SCM within higher education institutions. By analysing 492 research articles between 1992 and 2023, retrieved from the Web of Science, and analysed using the CATAR software, this bibliometric analysis provides an in-depth examination of SCM research trends. The study investigates country and institutional productivity, identifies prolific authors, analyses research fields, and classifies research themes. The USA emerged as the most productive nation, with a consistent increase in productivity over three decades. The University of California Santa Cruz and select universities in the Middle-East exhibited the highest productivity among higher education institutions. Professors from Middle-East universities were identified as the most prolific authors in this field. Business and economics and engineering were the dominant research fields, comprising 60% of the publications, while remaining 40% encompassed various disciplines with steady growth rate. Five distinct clusters of research themes were identified.
