Abstract

Since 1949, the journal Public Administration and Development has gone through changes in name and scope, in author demographics and background, and in readership and the topics covered. The professional‐oriented articles in the first years of the journal have evolved to become more academic theory‐oriented articles in recent years. Drawing on mixed methods, the authors conducted in‐depth analyses using data from the journal to highlight changes in research themes and geographic foci. The study provides insights into the historical development of public administration in developing contexts, the journal's contributions to the field, and maps out potential future research trends. 自 1949 年以来,《公共行政与发展》期刊在名称、作者构成、读者群和涵盖的主题方面都经历了变化。在创刊初期,《公共行政与发展》主要刊登公务人员的专业文章,但现在已逐步演变为以学术理论主题为核心。作者(主编们)使用混合方法,通过深入分析期刊存档数据,呈现了研究主题和地域重点的变化。本研究不仅探讨了公共行政研究领域的历史变化过程、还评估了该刊对公共行政领域的贡献,并展望了未来的研究趋势 Desde 1949, a revista “Public Administration and Development” passou por mudanças no nome e no escopo, na demografia e formação dos autores, no tipo de leitores e nos temas abordados.

O estudo fornece insights sobre o desenvolvimento histórico da administração pública em contextos de países em desenvolvimento e nas contribuições da revista para o campo, e mapeia possíveis tendências futuras de pesquisa.
