      ab: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in bibliometric analyses of specific research topics or academic journals. However, scant attention was paid to the latter. Given the considerable impact of bibliometric studies on guiding prospective research, this study aimed to map the bibliometric characteristics of Lexicography publications since the inception of Lexicography: Journal of ASIALEX. To this end, the research included 87 papers published in the journal between 2014 and 2024. The metadata set accessed through Scopus was analysed bibliometrically. Following the exclusion of editorials and errata, the bibliometric and methodological data of 87 documents were stored in an electronic file for analysis. After cross-checking between various platforms (Biblioshiny, Scopus, and SciVal), the results indicated variations in scholarly output over the years, albeit with no impact on the annual growth rate. The most prolific author was Jun Ding, while the most influential document was by Kilgarriff et al. (Kilgarriff et al, 2014). It was also found that Fudan University was the most productive institution. Correspondingly, the Lexicography publications were distributed predominantly in China and Asia. While single authorship was the most common, international collaboration contributed more to citational impact. The keyword analyses coincided with the journal's focus and content, centring around online dictionaries, academic writing, machine learning, and translation. Findings were discussed, and recommendations were made for future research.
