Bibliometric Analysis of Postcolonial Interventions: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Postcolonial Studies (2016-2024)

Background/Objectives: This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Postcolonial Interventions: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Postcolonial Studies covering the publication period from 2016 to 2025. The objective of the study is to examine the journal's publication patterns, thematic evolution, authorship trends, collaboration networks, digital preservation practices, and indexing visibility. Methodology: A descriptive bibliometric research design was employed, utilising data collected from the journal's official online archive and verified through platforms such as Zenodo, Google Scholar, ROAD (Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources), Scopus, and Web of Science. Results: The findings reveal consistent biannual publication, dominance of research articles, moderate fluctuations in annual output, and a thematic shift from identity and cultural studies toward ecology, climate, violence, and diaspora-related discourses. Authorship analysis indicates a predominance of single-author contributions with the gradual emergence of collaborative and international research patterns. The study also highlights significant improvement in digital infrastructure from 2018 onward through systematic DOI assignment and repository archiving. However, limited inclusion in major citation databases constrains measurable global impact. Conclusion: Overall, the study provides a structured evaluation of the journal's scholarly trajectory and identifies strategic areas for enhancing international visibility and academic influence within the interdisciplinary field of postcolonial studies.
