Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to present review and analysis of citations by journals, papers
and authors, co-occurrences of keyword and sub-keywords, and the co-authorship between
authors, institutions as well as countries in the field of humour advertising. The number of
journal publications in humour advertising has increased and expanded over the years in the
field of marketing, communication and business research, but are less being discussed in
relation to its citation’s analysis. Therefore, the study has been conducted using a review and
a bibliometrics analysis approach. A total of 2300 articles for the study has been extracted
from the Web of Science database and reviewed using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysed). However, only 1500 were screened and
selected for use for the citation analysis. This study contributes in a sense that it provides
future researchers with knowledge and information about the worldwide citation’s linkages,
and networking between authors, institutions, and research interest in the field of humour
advertising. This study also provides insights for researchers to engage in developing novel
research ideas that may contribute to expanding the engagement of marketing of humour
advertising worldwide.
