A total of 153 relevant papers were analyzed excluding book reviews, conference papers. The paper analyzed firstly, research methodologies developments in terms of data collection, research design, sample size, sampling technique, statistical technique, respondent type, response rate, and time horizon used in different studies. Secondly, authorship type, authorship collaboration, top journal and journals rating in terms of publication trends. Descriptive statistics provide an overview of the research contribution in this specific time domain for service marketing.
