| description | Analyzing collaborations on energy research in the hotel industry has important implications for promoting the research performance in this field. The Web of Science Core Collection from 1984 to 2022 was used to analyze the research contributions and cooperation networks and clusters at three levels: macro (national level), meso (institutional level), and micro (key authors and papers) using a bibliometric approach. The results show the following. (1) The cooperative relationship is the closest between China and the United States. Developed countries in Europe exhibit more academic cooperation. (2) There is a significant regional imbalance in the cooperation between universities. Leading universities rely on their strengths in energy research or hotel management and are often highly productive institutions. (3) The breadth of the authors' cooperation is insufficient. Collaborative research dominated by productive authors tends to focus on practical issues in the local hotel industry. The collaboration between experts from different disciplines benefits from the complementary advantages of these experts. (4) Hotel energy research has evolved from single-disciplinary research in the early days to interdisciplinary research in recent years. This paper provides visualizations of current conditions and deficiencies in existing research collaborations and provides a reference for analyzing the potential of research cooperation. |
