Journey of Journal of Accessibility and Design for All: A Review

This study aims to examine the publication journey of the Journal of Accessibility and Design for All (JACCES). This review article utilised bibliometric analysis to conduct performance evaluation and science mapping. The study employed the Bibliometrix R package (version 4.2.3) through the Biblioshiny interface, along with VOSviewer, to address the research questions. The performance analysis focused on the publication trends, citations, and contributions from authors, institutions, and countries of the JACCES. In addition, keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling analyses were performed to measure the conceptual structure of the literature and the central themes on which the journal has published. The study identifies four themes: inclusive design and tourism for all, accessible tourism: sensory and digital approaches, measuring and evaluating disability-inclusive environments, and digital accessibility in public domains. A future research agenda is also proposed for researchers to work on and provide comprehensive information to fill the research gaps and strengthen the publication journey of the JACCES.
