1. In oduc ion
The Asian Jou nal o Shipping and Logis ics (AJSL) began publica ion
in 2009, and in 2024, was publishing ou issues annually. The AJSL
co e s pape s on Asia’s shipping, po , anspo , and logis ics sec o s,
pa icula ly in he ields o managemen , inance, accoun ing, insu ance,
in e na ional business, and ma ke ing (Jeon e al., 2016; Maskey e al.,
2018; Lee & Shin, 2019; Nguyen e al., 2021). No p e ious esea ch has
iden i ied he o e all esea ch ends o s udies published in he AJSL.
The analysis o esea ch ends in pape s published in academic
jou nals can help es ablish he de elopmen o he ield by explo ing he
esea ch con en and cha ac e is ics conduc ed om he pas o he
p esen . Re isi ing esea ch ends is essen ial because o i s ole in
es ablishing a jou nal’s academic iden i y and he consequen sys em-
a ic de elopmen o esea ch opics in he ield (Lee e al., 2009; Wang
and Ho, 2011; Weismaye & Pezenka, 2017).
An analysis o esea ch ends wi hin AJSL publica ions is c ucial o
comp ehending he nuances and pa e ns o academic esea ch de el-
opmen in he shipping ield. The e o e, an analysis was conduc ed on
he AJSL pape s published wi hin he pas 14 yea s and e ie ed using
ScienceDi ec . The analysis is di ided in o h ee s ages. The i s pe iod
was 2009–2014, du ing which he AJSL published wo o h ee issues
annually. In 2009 and 2010, he AJSL eleased wo issues, which
inc eased o h ee annual issues in he pe iod 2011–2014. The publi-

pe iod was designa ed as 2015–2018, and he inal pe iod as
2019–2022.
In pu sui o his esea ch goal, he social ne wo k analysis (SNA)

3. Me hodology
The SNA me hod is based on Eule ’s g aph heo y (1741) wi h
quan i a i e cha ac e is ics. The SNA me hod was in oduced o un-
de s and and in e p e he s uc u e o indi iduals and he join a ilia-
ion ela ionships o med a ound social ela ionships composed o
indi iduals and o ganiza ions (Lim & Jeon, 2011). The e o e, SNA has
he ad an age o g asping connec ions by de i ing he cen ali y o he
ela ionship be ween each node (o ganiza ion, socie y, and class) o he
ne wo k.
Acco ding o F eeman (1979), SNA analysis can be la gely di ided
in o deg ee cen ali y, be weenness cen ali y, and closeness cen ali y;
each cen ali y is di ided in o absolu e and ela i e deg ee cen ali y.
Absolu e deg ee cen ali y measu es he numbe o o he nodes con-
nec ed o each node, whe eas ela i e deg ee cen ali y de i es alues by
conside ing he size o he ne wo k.
Deg ee cen ali y deno es a quan i a i e assessmen o he ex en o
which each node wi hin he ne wo k is linked o o he nodes (F eeman,
1979). In essence, connec ions be ween nodes a e es ablished ia links
ha in e connec each node wi hin he ne wo k, and he g ea e he
numbe o connec ions be ween a gi en node and o he nodes, he
highe is he deg ee cen ali y (Lee e al., 2022). Eq. (1) shows he
