Abstract
The purpose of this research is scientometric study of consumption of the cultural good articles.This research is an applied research that done by the descriptive-analytical and scientometric methodology. Statistical population of this research includes 556 articles of consumption of the cultural goods in the Clarivate Analytics database during 1986-2018. Data analysis tool is HisCite, VOSviewer, and Excel software. Findings showed that the publication trend of articles has slight fluctuated in different years and most of the citations are related to old articles and most of the article subjects are in the areas of business, economics, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, ecology, social sciences, and life sciences. Findings also showed that the United States, England and Canada had the most article production and had the most local and global citations and universities of London, Guelph, Macquarie, Lancaster and Surrey, had the most local and global citations, and journals of consumer research and cultural economics had the most local and global citations, and most articles had published in the high-impact journals (Q1). In addition, the findings showed that generally the citation cooperation of authors, countries and organizations are low, and the network of keywords is also more dispersed. The results showed that local citations to articles and scientific co-operation of the authors' are much lower than global citations of them. Therefore, cultural policy-makers should strengthen academic cooperation at the local and international level and create the incentives to increase scientific collaboration among authors, countries and organizations.
