Abstract

In recent years, there has been a vigorous discussion about digital platforms due to their emerging significance in the digital ecosystem. However, despite common interests in the digital platform, comprehensive literature reviews on the topic are still limited. Therefore, this study offers a systematic and interdisciplinary review of the literature on digital platforms by collecting and analyzing a sample of 1,224 articles published from January 2018 to December 2021. In particular, this study focuses on which country leads platform research. By interpreting the concentration of research fields that study platforms and financial funding for platform research, this article provides a new perspective on the countries leading academic platform research. Our findings show that those holding platform hegemony in the real world are also active leaders in platform research. Amid fierce competition among major countries and continents surrounding the platform industry, this paper aims to provide an understanding of the ongoing research trend regarding platforms and be a guideline for future research.

数字平台研究趋势:2018 - 2021年文献综述

近年来，由于数字平台在数字生态系统中的重要性日益凸显，人们对其进行了热烈的讨论。然而，尽管人们对数字平台有共同的兴趣，但关于该主题的全面文献综述仍然有限。因此，本研究通过收集和分析2018年1月至2021年12月发表的1224篇文章样本，对数字平台上的文献进行了系统和跨学科的回顾。本研究特别关注哪个国家在平台研究方面处于领先地位。本文通过对平台研究领域的集中程度以及平台研究的财政资助等方面的解读，提供了一个新的视角来审视全球领先的学术平台研究。我们的研究结果表明，那些在现实世界中拥有平台霸权的人也是平台研究的积极领导者。在围绕平台产业的主要国家和大洲竞争激烈的情况下，本文旨在了解目前平台的研究趋势，为未来的研究提供指导。
