Abstract

Transport infrastructure contributes to overall economic returns by stimulating mobility, accessibility, employability, and productivity. This paper endeavors to explore the domain by using bibliometric analysis. For this, the present study analyses 856 documents published in the Web of Science database during the last 31 years starting from 1989 to 2020 using VOS viewer Software. The investigation reveals an inconsistent growth in the research work over the years. Transport policy leads the journals with maximum publications. Keyword analysis identified four clusters with different themes. The analysis shows the influence of study by Easterly & Rebelo which received maximum citation. Then relatedness between publications is identified using co-citation analysis in the field. Further, the collaboration network identified four clusters where countries are collaborating. Thus, the study provides a general comprehensive view of the leading trends in the domain over past years.
