Trending and Emerging
- Circular Supply Chain Management:
There is a significant increase in research focused on circular supply chains, highlighting the importance of sustainable procurement practices that support the circular economy. This includes studies on circular procurement and the challenges and opportunities that arise within this framework. - Digital Transformation and Data Utilization:
Emerging themes include the integration of digital technologies into supply chain processes, with a particular focus on how data analytics and AI can enhance decision-making, transparency, and efficiency in purchasing and supply management. - Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
Research on sustainability and CSR is gaining traction, with an emphasis on ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and the social impacts of supply chain practices. This trend reflects a growing awareness of the broader implications of procurement decisions. - Adaptive Supply Chain Strategies:
The journal is increasingly addressing adaptive strategies that organizations can employ to enhance resilience and responsiveness in their supply chains, particularly in the face of disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic. - Collaborative and Networked Approaches:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cost-Focused Purchasing Strategies:
There appears to be a diminishing emphasis on traditional cost-centric purchasing strategies, as the field increasingly recognizes the importance of value creation, sustainability, and innovation over mere cost reduction. - Single-Dimensional Performance Metrics:
Research focused solely on single-dimensional performance metrics in supply chains, such as cost savings or efficiency, is becoming less prevalent. Scholars are now advocating for more comprehensive performance assessments that include sustainability and social impact. - Public Procurement Practices:
Although public procurement remains an important topic, there is a noticeable decline in papers explicitly addressing standard practices in public procurement. This may indicate a shift towards broader discussions of procurement in various contexts, including private sector innovations. - Overly Theoretical Approaches:
There has been a reduction in the publication of papers that rely heavily on theoretical models without empirical support. The journal is now favoring research that combines theory with practical application and empirical evidence.
