Abstract
This paper aims to examine in detail the cultural heritage studies conducted in the context of India, with a specific focus on the intersection with tourism. The study conducts a bibliometric analysis of the journal articles on cultural heritage and tourism field in India in Web of Science (WoS) database. Bibliometric techniques such as bibliographic coupling, co-occurrence of author keywords, and co-occurrence of abstract terms were used. The study identifies 401 cultural heritage papers and 59 cultural heritage papers based on tourism in the Indian context for 1992-2023. Most of the analyzed papers are categorized under the Humanities Multidisciplinary category in WoS, focusing on Sustainable Cities and Communities in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals. In terms of cultural heritage studies, India, the United States, and England are the most productive nations, while in terms of tourism-based cultural heritage, India, Algeria, and Portugal are at the top. India, cultural heritage, tourism, and culture are among the top author keywords in the cultural heritage field. Therefore, that research fills this gap by performing a bibliometric analysis of publications on cultural heritage research articles in the Indian context published in the WoS database between 1992 and 2023.
