Cloud Computing Review: Scientometric Study of 10,000+ Papers

Mapping a decade of cloud research with CiteSpace reveals key trends.

Deep Dive

Smruti Rekha Swain applied scientometric techniques to examine cloud computing research evolution from 2014 to 2023, using CiteSpace to analyze papers from the Web of Science Core database. The study constructed collaboration networks among authors, institutions, and countries, and used journal co-citations, document co-citation networks, and clustering to uncover underlying research topics and knowledge structure. Results enhance understanding of patterns and trends, offering a foundation for guiding research and fostering collaboration.

Key Points
  • Analyzed over 10,000 cloud computing papers from Web of Science (2014–2023)
  • Used CiteSpace for co-citation and collaboration network analysis
  • Identified most prolific authors, institutions, and countries in cloud research
