The Society for Pentecostal Studies celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2020. To commemorate the half-century mark, the editors of Pneuma assembled a special issue that included a history of the Society. While the fiftieth-anniversary commemorative volume captured the growth of the Society, absent was a consideration of the impact of Pneuma. As such, the fifty-year anniversary deserves a more quantifiable discussion of the journal’s impact on scholarship. By using a combination of information science and theological reflection, this article offers fresh insights on the journal’s impact in the realm of scholarly publishing. It fleshes out significant theological trends in Pentecostalism covered in its fifty-year history using bibliometrics. An index of all 710 peer-reviewed research articles published from 1978 to 2022 was created. Bibliometrics were used to assess that scholarship’s impact, understand where pentecostal studies flourished, and uncover possible gaps in pentecostal research where further study may be needed. Bibliometric research in theological studies acts as a mirror for researchers by quantifiably reflecting trends in pentecostal research that may have been anecdotally assumed or overlooked altogether. It places possible bias into sharp focus and offers new tools for discussing sensitive research and publication issues such as gender politics, diversity, and inclusivity.

文献计量学和五旬节奖学金

五旬节研究学会于 2020 年庆祝成立五十周年。为了纪念半个世纪，编辑们气动出版了一本特刊，其中包括协会的历史。虽然五十周年纪念册记录了协会的成长，但没有考虑到协会的影响。气动。因此，五十周年纪念值得对该期刊对学术的影响进行更量化的讨论。通过结合信息科学和神学反思，本文对该期刊在学术出版领域的影响提供了新的见解。它利用文献计量法充实了五旬节派五十年历史中的重要神学趋势。创建了 1978 年至 2022 年发表的所有 710 篇同行评审研究文章的索引。文献计量学被用来评估学术的影响，了解五旬节研究蓬勃发展的地方，并发现五旬节研究中可能需要进一步研究的空白。神学研究中的文献计量研究通过量化反映五旬节研究的趋势，为研究人员充当了一面镜子，而这些趋势可能被轶事假设或完全忽视。它使可能的偏见成为焦点，并为讨论性别政治、多样性和包容性等敏感研究和出版问题提供了新工具。
