Bibliometric analysis of technology adoption literature published from 1997 to 2020

A look at the focus shift in innovation literature due to Covid-19 pandemic

“…The second aspect is co-citation analysis. This identifies a field trend of an item (e.g., reference, source) and measures the proximity degree if some publications are often cited together so that they are identifiable with a cluster in citation maps ( Xu et al, 2021a ). Under such a situation, co-cited items are regarded as being more related, and the number of citations reveals their similarity and influence.…”

Technology adoption and diffusion in healthcare at onset of COVID-19 and beyond

“…UTAUT also posits the predictor effect of social influence on technology acceptance will be moderated by voluntariness and experience of use of the technology, such that the effect will be stronger particularly in mandatory settings among users at early stages of experience of technology use (an inexperienced user, or a user who is mandated to use a technology, is more easily influenced by others such as colleagues). As experience of use and voluntariness toward the adoption of a technology have been explored to a much lesser extent, 32 we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to conduct empirical studies aimed at examining the moderator effects of these variables on technology adoption on a global scale with a wide range of consumer products and health technologies. At no other time in history could we examine adoption and diffusion of technology in healthcare (and in social interactions and entertainment) in a way that we can now as technology use was, in general, involuntary at the onset of and during the pandemic.…”

Entity linking systems for literature reviews

“…Keyword analysis has previously been used in bibliometric studies (e.g. Li et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2021). Dunning (1993) argues that keyword analysis using the log-likelihood ratio is more robust than chi-square when accounting for size discrepancies.…”
