Indian Journal of Finance has been one of the most popular journals in the field of finance in India since 2007. It is a source of complex analyses of the development of the fast-growing financial world. Indian Journal of Finance covers financial, accounting, financial economics, and sub-field research, such as the theory and analysis of financial markets and services, financial derivative research, insurance, portfolio selection, risk management, debt, and financial information. Scientometric analysis techniques were used to analyze 344 original IJF publications from 2013 – 2019. Specifically, this paper examined the annual research output, volume-wise authorship patterns, author productivity, degree of collaboration, most productive institutions, the geographical distribution of research publications, most cited documents globally, and keyword co-occurrence. This is the first inclusive bibliometric analysis of the Indian Journal of Finance. Similar studies can be conducted for existing journals that have a growing reputation for academic and professional influence.
