This paper explores the underlying structure of the intellectual research domains of the Italian community of banking and ¯nance researchers. The goal of this study is to investigate research fronts and prominent topics and identify the links among these themes directly, based on the subject content of 1450 scienti¯c papers published in over 20 years. The study proposes a journal density map that combines the publications of articles from the group of researchers investigated and the impact metric of the journal, which re°ects the research quality and research within a speci¯c subject area. In addition, co-authorship analysis was conducted to observe the intensity of scienti¯c interaction within the 22 clusters of authors identi¯ed by this studyI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
