A Bibliometric Analysis of Marxian Political Economy Research in Canada

The present Scopus-based study is an attempt to examine Marxian political economy research by Canadian social scientists. The data analysis was done using bibliometric software, including MS Excel, VOS Viewer, and biblioshiny (R Studio). The growth of publications over time and their citations are analyzed first, followed by top authors, leading institutions, international collaboration and top journals. Further, the co-occurrence of keywords and top-cited articles are analyzed. The results show that Giroux, H A from McMaster University, is the most productive author. At the same time, Peck, J from The University of British Columbia is most influential among the top authors, and the University of Toronto is the most productive institution. The results also reveal that capitalism, neoliberalism, globalization, democracy, and ideology are the most important research topics.
