Literature on export assistance programmes (EAPs) was first published over half a century ago and has focused on many topics, such as the impact of EAPs on firms’ performance, their usefulness and use, among others. The numerous papers published in this area justify the present bibliometric analysis aimed at examining the trends in EAP literature from 1966 until 2017. An analysis of 367 studies published in this period allowed us to conclude that most of the works are empirical, adopt the perspective of the provider (the content of the specific programmes offered by public entities), and focus on macroeconomic evaluations (the impact of EAPs on countries’ exports). The bulk of studies have analysed advanced economies, such as the USA or UK. The publications are scattered among a large number of journals, and the influence of this literature is relatively small (few publications have a significant number of citations).

五十年的出口援助计划文献：文献计量分析

关于出口援助计划 (EAP) 的文献首次发表于半个多世纪前，主要关注许多主题，例如 EAP 对公司业绩的影响、它们的有用性和使用等。在该领域发表的大量论文证明了目前旨在检查 1966 年至 2017 年 EAP 文献趋势的文献计量分析的合理性。对这一时期发表的 367 项研究的分析使我们得出结论，大多数作品都是经验性的，采用的观点提供者（公共实体提供的具体计划的内容），并专注于宏观经济评估（EAP 对国家出口的影响）。大部分研究都分析了美国或英国等发达经济体。出版物分散在大量期刊中，
