Keywords:
Bibliometrix, Evolution, Networks, Scopus, VOSviewerAbstract
This review examines the scientific research on constituency service from 1975 to 2024, leveraging a dataset of 161 documents from the Scopus database. Statistical analysis using tools such as Bibliometrix RStudio and VOSviewer reveals a dynamic trajectory, with a historical start in 1975 through the article by Clarke et al. and a significant spike in publications after 2000. The annual growth rate is 0.0%, indicating a stable number of documents added yearly. The dataset contains documents with an average age of 12.2 years, denoting an extensive historical presence. Notable contributors include Lindsay J. Benstead (Portland State University) and Mihail Chiru (University of Oxford), who contributed three articles, and Cox & McCubbins's (1986) article, which received the highest number of citations at 619, demonstrating their noteworthy influence on constituency service discourse. The Journal of Legislative Studies emerged as the primary source with eleven articles, followed by the "Representation" and "Parliamentary Affairs" journals with nine and eight articles, respectively. Leading universities, such as the University of California, Harvard University, and Stanford University, lead research efforts in the constituency service field, confirming the United States' position as a paramount contributor with 118 articles. This bibliometric review provides a global overview of research trends in constituency service, political representation, personal vote, clientelism, and parliamentary questions. It highlights recent advances, dominating issues, key topics, and thematic evolution. The findings offer valuable insights for scientific inquiry and encourage future research and development initiatives.
