A Bibliometric Analysis on Slow Food With VOSviewer

Abstract

Slow Food is a movement adopted by many people around the world. It originated in Italy and is a subject that is frequently discussed by academics today. This research presents a bibliometric analysis of 448 publications related to the Slow Food movement, published between 1998 and 2022 in the Web of Science database. The analysis used VOSviewer, a visualization software tool for bibliometric networks, to classify the publications according to their years and types, and to create a scientific map of institutional addresses of the authors. The study shows that the Slow Food movement has gained increasing attention in academic literature over the past three decades. The most frequently used keywords associated with the Slow Food movement, the most active countries and academic institutions in Slow Food publications are identified. Universities in Italy, the United States, and the United Kingdom are among the most productive institutions in the field of Slow Food research. The research demonstrates the growing interest in the Slow Food movement among academics and researchers and highlights the diversity of issues and perspectives related to this field. The findings can serve as a useful resource for academics and policymakers interested in Slow Food.
