Abstract
This paper presents a detailed chronological survey of papers published in the Web of Science category of dance from 1994 to 2013 based on Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI). An analysis of the research performance according to publication output, distribution of words in article title was carried out. Performances of authors, including total, single author, first author, and corresponding author publications were analyzed. The results indicated that annual output of the articles increased slightly. More document types were found in A&HCI database than in other Web of Science database. Dance Magazine published the most articles. Single-author article was the most-popular type of authorship. Editors were the dominant author. “Ballet” is the main research topic in dance field.
