This study aims to evaluate the growth and evolving focus of college sports management (CSM) research, identifying key contributors and thematic trends within the field.
A bibliometric approach was used, analyzing data from VOSviewer, and the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and EBSCOhost to assess publication patterns, co-citation networks, and keyword co-occurrence, highlighting influential authors, institutions, and research themes.
Our study findings show an increase in CSM publications, with significant contributions from the USA, England, and Australia. Co-citation analysis highlights foundational theories, while keyword analysis identifies thematic clusters in management, sports, exercise, and performance. Emerging research focuses include "impact," "performance," "injuries," "concussions," and "risk."
This study suggests a need for localized CSM strategies and integration of technologies like artificial intelligence and Internet of Things to drive advancements. Future studies should incorporate additional databases for a broader view of CSM trends. This study underscores the importance of adaptive strategies to meet the dynamic needs of the CSM field globally.
本研究旨在评估大学体育管理（CSM）研究的发展及不断变化的重点，确定该领域的关键贡献者和主题趋势。
采用文献计量学方法，分析来自VOSviewer以及Web of Science（WoS）、Scopus和EBSCOhost的数据，以评估出版模式、共被引网络和关键词共现情况，突出有影响力的作者、机构和研究主题。
我们的研究结果显示CSM出版物数量有所增加，美国、英国和澳大利亚做出了重大贡献。共被引分析突出了基础理论，而关键词分析确定了管理、体育、运动和表现方面的主题集群。新兴研究重点包括“影响”“表现”“损伤”“脑震荡”和“风险”。
本研究表明需要制定本地化的CSM策略，并整合人工智能和物联网等技术以推动进步。未来的研究应纳入更多数据库，以更全面地了解CSM趋势。本研究强调了采用适应性策略以满足全球CSM领域动态需求的重要性。
