Abstract: This study aims to conduct a citation-based analysis of academic research on price discovery of commodity markets (PDCM). For this purpose, data is collected using a database such as Web of Science; 200 articles written by 446 authors and published in 114 different journals from 2000 to 2021 were examined using visualisation tools. The collected data are analysed using keyword co-occurrence and scholarly co-citation approaches are used to investigate research areas and development trends. Several studies have investigated the impact of news announcements, analyst forecasts, and other information sources on the efficiency of the commodity market. The results of these studies suggest that information plays a crucial role in price discovery and can significantly impact market outcomes. Another significant theme in the literature was the analysis of market structure and its impact on price discovery. Studies in this area have explored the effect of market concentration, trading volume, and liquidity on price discovery in the commodity market.

Keywords: price discovery; citation-based analysis; spot and futures; commodity markets.
