Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate research trends observed in the International Journal of Integrated Supply Management (IJISM) during its first 10 volumes, which extend over a total of 175 research papers published between 2004 and 2016. The work at hand first develops a conceptual framework for classifying papers that appeared in IJISM. Papers are then assigned to the framework to identify popular research topics and research methodologies used, and to highlight publication patterns that could be observed in the first 10 volumes of the journal. The paper concludes with an outlook on possible perspectives for the journal.

Keywords: IJISM; journal review; journal evolution; content categories; classification framework; research trends; publication patterns.
