The landscape of scholarly communication has evolved significantly with the rise of digital platforms and social media, offering new avenues for disseminating and assessing research impact. This study explores the publication trends and altmetric attention of scholarly articles on the topic of “Economics and Management” based on the data derived from the Web of Science database’s Core Collection from 2004 to 2024. A total 348 records were retrieved, of which 251 articles with DOIs were analyzed for their online visibility using Altmetric Explorer. The analysis revealed that 123 articles had an Altmetric presence, with 28 receiving an Altmetric Attention Score above 10. The study identifies the most cited articles, top countries and journals, and it further evaluates engagement across digital platforms. Notably, China and the USA lead in research output, while journals like the Journal of Comparative Economics and Inzinerine Ekonomika showed high productivity. The findings of the study highlight the increasing significance of altmetrics in capturing the broader societal and scholarly influence of research beyond traditional citations, offering valuable insights into the evolving nature of academic impact in the digital age.
Keywords: Altmetric, Economics and Management, Web of Science, Citation Metrics.
