ABSTRACT

Supply chains today are experiencing enormous disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic since November 2019. This is a global issue which undoubtedly is impacting negatively on people, business organizations, as well as the entire global trade and the economy. Therefore, managing supply chain risks has become an important topic in recent literature. The purpose of this research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis on the literature that has been published on Supply Chain Risk and the COVID-19 pandemic during the period 2019-2021. The data on publications was collected using the Scopus database, and analyzed using the VOSViewer and Ms. Excel software programs. Results revealed the most discussed literature terms, countries, publications, authors, as well as data on co-citations, both in tabular form and visual maps. These results were then used to categorize the publications into several different themes. These findings can be of use to academia who are interested in conducting further research on related topics as it gives a good summary of literature highlighting its gaps. The industry practitioners may easily find articles that might be of help such as the ones which discusses about risk mitigation strategies.
