Abstract

PurposeThis study uses a bibliometric approach to analyze the overall status of e-government research by revealing patterns and trends that would help gain a broad understanding of global developments in the field and future directions.Design/methodology/approachAll documents related to e-government published from 2000 to 2019 were extracted from the Scopus and the Digital Government Reference Library databases. Bibexcel, Biblioshiny, and VOSviewer were used to perform the analyses and visualize the science mapping.FindingsThe results showed that 21,320 documents related to e-government research were published and cited 263,179 times. The annual growth rate of e-government research has reached 21.50%. The regression analysis showed that the growth rate is expected to increase gradually over the coming years. Despite the significant role that conference papers play in the e-government literature, the impact of articles far exceeds conference papers. The University of Albany (SUNY) has played an important role in e-government research in terms of production and impact. Furthermore, the study revealed some countries that are expected to play a prominent role in e-government research, as well as several topics that may attract more attention soon.Originality/valueThe results presented in this study and the comprehensive picture obtained about the e-government field make it an effective supplement to the expert evaluation. Thus, researchers, research managers, policymakers, institutions, funding agencies, and governments can rely on it.

二十年来电子政务研究的演变:应用文献计量学和科学制图分析

目的本研究采用文献计量法分析电子政务研究的总体状况，揭示电子政务研究模式和趋势，有助于广泛了解该领域的全球发展和未来方向。设计/方法论/方法2000年至2019年发布的所有与电子政务相关的文件都是从Scopus和数字政府参考图书馆数据库中提取的。Bibexcel、Bibliobshing和VOSviewer被用于进行分析和可视化科学地图。结果显示，与电子政务研究相关的文献共发表21320篇，被引用263179次。电子政务研究的年增长率已达到21.50%。回归分析显示，未来几年增长率预计将逐步提高。尽管会议文件在电子政务文献中发挥着重要作用，但文章的影响远远超过了会议文件。奥尔巴尼大学（SUNY）在电子政务研究的产生和影响方面发挥了重要作用。此外，该研究揭示了一些有望在电子政务研究中发挥重要作用的国家，以及可能很快引起更多关注的几个主题。原创性/价值本研究的结果和对电子政务领域的全面了解使其成为专家评估的有效补充。因此，研究人员、研究管理人员、政策制定者、机构、资助机构和政府都可以依赖它。
