| Abstract: |
This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of research on corruption in subsidy systems (1990-2024). Using WoS data and the Biblioshiny package in R, it maps publication trends and citation patterns. It also identifies core journals and collaboration networks in the field. The study adds a new perspective by examining geographical publishing disparities and thematic coverage. Results show a sharp rise in publications after 2010. Research is mainly concentrated in economics, political science and environmental studies. The US, China, and several EU countries dominate scholarly output. Keyword co-occurrence reveals clusters on governance/performance, energy/environmental subsidies, and agricultural policy. The paper highlights research gaps and proposes future directions to improve accountability in subsidy policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
