Unveiling A Century of Research on Retirement Schemes: A State-of-the-Art Bibliometric Review

This bibliometric study investigates research on retirement schemes from 1985 to 2023, using data from the Scopus database. It comprises a qualitative assessment of influence using citation measures including citation counts, h-index, and g-index, as well as a quantitative assessment of publication output among authors and journals. The study offers a thorough overview of the field by identifying significant works and important contributors. Co-word occurrence analysis also identifies important study themes and emphasizes understudied topics in the literature on retirement plans. This method lessens the subjectivity present in conventional literature evaluations while providing insights into research trends, significant writers, and hot themes. The study also fills gaps in the literature and makes recommendations for future research directions to guide future investigations and support the creation of retirement plan policy.
