“…The linkages between documents are visualized in a graph form, allowing network analysis to be carried out to obtain information about activities on the research map [8]. Various measures are used for network analysis, such as centrality, representing the strength of an edge and node in the network based on their role and position [20].…”

Researchers and journal managers need summary information, such as research maps and trends. Topic and words-based document content analysis alternative to science mapping and trend prediction based on bibliographic analysis. The data are a collection of journal articles/proceeding documents and metadata for 2011-2020 published by the International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE). A combination of several techniques and methods is used, such as text mining, topic modeling, cosine similarity, network analysis, graph theory, and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA). This research has produced research topics, mapping, trend prediction, and visualization according to its objectives. The results of the topic coherence test obtained the optimal number of topics, as many as 6. The results of the topics were evaluated by experts to be given labels and areas of focus. On the research map for each topic, information is found on trending research, the most popular research, research that is central to the research group, and critical research on the development of the group path. It also identifies the type of breakthrough, incremental, and research gap. Predictions of research trends obtained are based on topics and words that describe the development of research. Visualization is descriptive and predictive.

“…Scientific mapping of existing literature and a systematic literature review have recently become the field of highest interest to researchers. Scientific production and research output are pillars of any country's growth and development (Negahban and Zarifsanaiey, 2020). Most organisational decisions are governed by the critical fact that a basic scientific mapping and clear premises of the existing literature are conducted.…”

PurposeThis research intends to analyse the trend in educational technology (EdTech) over the last 20 years using systematic scientific mapping and bibliometric analysis and how it relates to the Indian context. Considering the anticipated growth in this field over the previous three years post-pandemic, an existing literature analysis is required. This study aims to map the existing intellectual structure in EdTech applications to extend the knowledge base further in this field. This study also intends to research how the Indian education sector compares in terms of the research output for the EdTech sector, considering the increased government focus on online learning as per the education policy in 2020. The study's findings will pave the way for sustainable research that will be extended in the future.Design/methodology/approachBibliometric analysis is conducted on the manuscripts extracted from Web of Science databases for the last 20 years (from 2003 to 2023). This study uses a descriptive research approach for bibliometric analysis as, by nature, this is an exploratory investigation, and no physical or existing experiment can be performed on the quantification, characteristic or productivity of EdTech applications. VoS Viewer and R software are extensively considered for a detailed bibliometric analysis.FindingsE-learning, blended learning and distance education emerged as the most frequently used keywords. The results reveal that technology adoption, higher education, technology and modelling are the most researched topics in this field.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is limited to the last 20 years' database obtained from the Web of Science database and limited to educational, management and operation databases only.Practical implicationsThe paper intends to analyse the global scenario of EdTech research and ensures that the paper will effectively connect with researchers, educators, policymakers and practitioners from different parts of the world. The results derived from the bibliometric analysis, cluster analysis and identification of key authors, journals and countries can contribute towards the improved contribution in this area.Originality/valueThe paper discusses the research in EdTech over the last two decades and effectively tries to bridge the gap in global research. Integrating systematic scientific mapping and bibliometric analysis is an innovative way to assess the growth and impact of EdTech. Considering the post-pandemic scenario and the government's emphasis on online learning, these are consistent with current developments.

“…Based on data from the Web of Science (WoS), Park and Shea (2020) conducted a co-citation study of online learning research trends over the past 10 years and discovered features and changes in research trends in online learning as well as the most cited publications in the field. Based on the WoS database from 1995 to 2018, Negahban and Zarifsanaiey (2020) investigated the research trends in the field of e-learning by assessing relevant studies employing network analysis and scientific mapping techniques and identified the most frequently used terminology, the greatest impact studies, and some topics that served as bridges to connect different topics. Based on the CNKI database from 2000 to 2021, Chi (2021) analyzed the number distribution of blended learning literature, core authors, and research institutions, and further conducted keyword co-occurrence analysis, emergence detection analysis, and cluster time domain mapping analysis by using the knowledge mapping tool CiteSpace.…”

The objective of this research is to establish a better understanding of the current landscape of online learning research and development. Data were collected from the Web of Science (including SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, and AHCI), which contains articles published from 2004 to 2022. A total of 25,382 pieces of data were collected. The data were visualized and analyzed using Citespace. The results show that the USA, China, and England are the main research countries in online learning; the Open University, Nanyang Technology University, and Monash University are the main research institutions; and Hwang Ggo-Jen, Huang Yueh-Min, and Chen Nian-Shing were the lead researchers. Major research topics in the field of online learning include MOOCs, flipped classrooms, COVID-19, computer-supported collaborative learning, the technology acceptance model, communities of inquiry, and distance learning. Meanwhile, each topic includes some classical literature. Computers & Education, Educational Technology Research and Development, the Internet, and Higher Education are three highly cited journals. Research hotspots mainly include three types of terms: student-related, learning-system-related, and teacher-related. Finally, we proposed further study ideas for future paths.
