From arrows to algorithms: a bibliometric analysis of military innovation studies master student
| Resumo: | his dissertation investigates the evolving intellectual landscape of military innovation studies, a critical yet underexplored area within strategic studies and international relations. Through a bibliometric analysis of 151 articles published between 1975 and 2024, this research identifies the thematic and disciplinary boundaries of military innovation literature while examining its evolution, influence, and collaboration networks. The findings reveal a field shaped by a robust intellectual core centered on key themes such as organizational learning, technological adaptation, and doctrinal change, alongside emerging topics like artificial intelligence and drones. Notable contributors, institutions, and countries form a fragmented but interconnected research network, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the field. By integrating citation analysis, cooccurrence mapping, and bibliographic coupling, this study provides a comprehensive view of the structural and thematic dynamics of military innovation research, offering insights into its historical continuity and adaptation to contemporary security challenges. Despite its contributions, the field remains constrained by fragmented collaboration networks, limited cross-disciplinary engagement, and regional disparities in research output, underscoring the need for further integration and expansion. |
