“…Since 2017, the type of RPA research has become more diversified, with an increasing number of journal articles and conference papers in addition to reports. The number of sources selected for each year are 2015:5, 2016:4, 2017:12, 2018:30, 2019:18, 2020:1, 2021:6, 2022:6, 2023:2. Seventy-six sources have RPA as their primary goal, the other 8 including RPA as part of a broader subject: three studies compare RPA with other software solutions (Bygstad, 2017;Kasslin, 2017;Szmajser et al, 2018), one evaluated the potential of AI and RPA in healthcare (Van Belkum et al, 2018), another in social services (Ranerup and Henriksen, 2019), one paper evaluates the evolution of AI and automation in organizations (Lu et al, 2018), one explores the risks associated with automation in accounting processes (Morrison, 2019) and one explores the legal, regulatory and ethical implications of robots and robotic systems and applications in general (Holder et al, 2016).…”
