11. A Bibliometric Analysis of the Professional Skills in the Scientific Journals of Project Management

Project Management has become a core activity for organizations and professionals, independently of their area of expertise, bearing in mind that the objective of Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, and techniques to implement, manage, and develop projects effectively and efficiently. It is necessary for organizations and professionals to develop a results-oriented culture, effective decision-making, and collaboration through the development of professional skills associated with it. To this purpose, there are different competency development models, including the ICB 4.0 model of the International Project Management Association (IPMA). In this way, this research proposes a bibliometric analysis of the main scientific journals within the Project Management field, in order to know the main research lines and see how these are related to the ICB 4.0 model. To do that, bibliometric techniques and tools have been used to analyze and visualize the intellectual structure of the scientific journals of project management.
