- Abstract
We investigate the 36-year history of research published in the journal Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA), to uncover trends over time in the research topics and themes covered as well as in authorship, co-authorship, and institutional affiliation. Our analysis includes three different approaches. First, we conduct a content analysis of titles and abstracts using selected keywords to examine trends in the three themes of models, methods, and concepts applied in each article. Second, we employ unsupervised topic modeling to identify more hidden topics discussed in the journal. Finally, we analyze the co-authorship graph to identify trends in co-authorship and changes in collaboration practices between authors and their research institutions. Our findings reveal a persistent popularity of studies focused on the basic modeling of queues, queueing networks, and queueing systems. We also confirm an increase in collaboration among authors over time.
