The <i>International Journal of Healthcare Management</i> ( <i>IJHM</i> ): Ten years after rebranding, a bibliometric analysis, and recommendations for improvement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ‘International Journal of Healthcare Management’ replaced the Journal of Management and Marketing in Healthcare since 2012. It marked its 10th anniversary in 2022 since its rebranding. This study undertakes the first bibliometrics analysis of the past 10 years of the International Journal of Healthcare Management covering the 2012–2022 period. Based on metadata of 627 articles published in the journal during this period, this article evaluates the intellectual, contextual, conceptual, and trend of the IJHM. The study's results were exciting in numerous ways: first, there is a steady increase in the number of publications published and cited in the literature. Second, a strong collaborative relationship with key sources in the IJHM was discovered. Third, the conceptual analysis that finds the theme trends of articles in the IJHM using the co-occurrence of keywords as the unit of analysis. The social structures, which concentrated on cooperation and the dynamics and effects of literary contributions, provide insights into future directions for sustaining or planning a worldwide focus for the Journal. Finally, several inexhaustive improvements have been suggested.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
