Conclusions and discussions<\/p>\n

TSince the seminal work of Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes\u00a0[1]<\/a>\u00a0in DEA, there has been an \u201cexponential\u201d growth in the number of journal articles in recent four decades (1978\u20132016). Until end of 2016, the total number of journal articles reaches 10,300 and the distinct authors reach 11,975 in total. Based on the statistics of journal articles, we found that (1)\u00a0European Journal of Operational Research<\/em>,\u00a0Journal of the Operational Research Society<\/em>,\u00a0Journal of Productivity Analysis<\/em>,\u00a0Omega and Annals of Operations Research<\/em>\u00a0are the most utilized journals in this field while journal of\u00a0Socio-Economic Planning Sciences<\/em>\u00a0has been recognized as the first choice journal for DEA papers with applications in the public sector ; (2) Most of all DEA-related articles have less than 4 authors and the percentage is 94% ; (3) Data Envelopment Analysis (including DEA, or DEA models) are the most used keywords, and Efficiency, decision-making, technical efficiency, linear programming, as well as productivity are second most popular keywords in the existing DEA-related articles ; (4) Environmental efficiency and DDF (including eco-efficiency, undesirable outputs, directional distance function (DDF), environmental efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions, pollution, sustainable development, sustainability, environmental protection), network DEA (including two-stage DEA, efficiency decomposition), benchmarking, bootstrap or bootstrapping, as well as returns to scale (including scale efficiency) are the main fields of current studies. Moreover, we detect agriculture, banking, supply chain, transportation, as well as public policy are the top 5 application fields of DEA with the greatest numbers of journal articles in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n
