A Scientometric Mapping of Global 'Strategizing' Research: Loaded Text Contains Only a Reference List, With No Reported Findings

The loaded text indicates a study that takes 'strategizing' as its object and scientometric analysis as its methodological route, placing it in the genre of bibliometric field-mapping research. Relative to single theoretical or empirical strategy-as-practice studies, this work is positioned as a macro-level quantitative characterization of the strategizing field as a whole. Based on the title itself, 'Mapping and Analysis of Global Research Trends on Strategizing: A Scientometric Approach'; the body text is not loaded, so specific methodological details cannot be verified.

The reference composition in the loaded text shows a knowledge base spanning two strands: the strategy-as-practice theoretical lineage and scientometric/bibliometric methodology. On the theory side it cites Whittington (1996, 2003, 2006), Jarzabkowski (2003, 2004, 2005, 2008), Vaara & Whittington (2012), and Seidl & Whittington (2014); on the method side it cites Aria & Cuccurullo's (2017) Bibliometrix, Zupic & Čater's (2015) bibliometric methods review, and Cobo et al.'s (2011) approach to detecting field evolution. The evidence is the reference entries themselves, which confirm citation scope but cannot establish which specific tools or parameters the study used.

The loaded text also includes several scientometric studies of other topics, such as open strategy, the digital ecosystem, games in libraries, linked data, XAI decision-dashboard interface design, and banking cybersecurity, suggesting the work situates itself within a broader tradition of scientometric application studies. These entries place the strategizing trend analysis alongside a wider scientometric application tradition rather than in dialogue with strategic management theory alone. The evidence is the entries and their titles in the reference list; whether the authors treat them as methodological references or comparison cases in the body cannot be confirmed.

The intended audience is strategy and management scholars tracking the strategizing research landscape, along with researchers who use scientometric methods for field mapping; the intended setting is a macro-level description of the field's publication output, thematic structure, and evolutionary direction. Because the loaded text is only a reference list, this scope derives from the research positioning indicated by the title rather than from the actual scope reported in the body.

The loaded text lacks an abstract, keywords, data source (such as Web of Science or Scopus), search time window, document count, analytical tools, and results, so it is impossible to tell which years or databases the study covers or what thematic clusters or trend conclusions it reaches. In addition, the reference list includes entries dated 2025, 2026, and Persian years 1404 and 1405, whose temporal relationship to this study is not explained in the loaded text, an open question that requires returning to the full text to verify.
