The latest issue of @scandjecon.bsky.social also contains a bibliometric overview of the journal's development (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....). This article also offers insights into the evolution of economics, including how the most frequent author keywords have changed over time.

I have also thought about this issue (and it applies to fiction too). This shift may also lead to development of new app interfaces where selected graphs and pictures can be shown easily in audio mode.
