ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine what kinds of studies have been conducted so far from 1976 up until now in the field of humanities and social sciences, especially concerning Scandinavia or similarly Nordic region. To do so, 11,734 articles from various scientific journals are collected from SCOPUS DB and their 21,570 keywords are further extracted in order to find out which keywords appears most in which time periods. More specifically, similar keywords are sorted out in a bottom-up fashion to eventually come up with three different levels of hierarchical classification - low, middle and high level. As results, before the year 2000, the keywords that appear most was "Economy" and "Welfare" but since then keywords such as "Society" and Culture" began to hold a dominant position. Also, recent studies tend to have more specific keywords than "older" studies with rather general keywords.
