English abstract

Purpose: Scientometrics summarise and analyse the work of eminent researchers. In this paper, we analyse and to some extent celebrate, the influence of Dan Funk on sport marketing and sport consumer behaviour scholarship. Design/methodology/approach: We summarise 1) the scientific indicators of his contribution; 2) research themes; 3) co-authorship patterns (i.e., key collaborators, country, university affiliation, author group size) 4) journals that have published his research; 5) his ideational influencers and influencees. His articles were retrieved from the Web of Science (Core collection) and analysed using HistCite, Publish or Perish and VOSviewer software. Findings: The scientometric portrait depicts a 20-year publishing career, the pursuit of complementary research themes, a large number of co-authors and a relatively small number of high-value collaborators, and a willingness to pursue opportunities at different universities (and countries), a process which inevitably expands a researcher’s network. Originality/value: This is the first scientometric portrait of sport marketing and consumer behaviour. The emergence of highly prolific authors is a sign that the related academic fields of sport management, sport marketing and sport consumer behaviour are maturing.
