Abstract

Purpose This study aims to present a scientometric analysis of publications related to “Augmented Reality.” In today’s Information Technology-driven era, augmented reality (A.R.) has evolved as a new immersive data source for developing knowledge combining authentic and digital images. Consequently, extensive research is going on “Augmented Reality” to discover its potential in knowledge development. Methodology The paper analyses and emphasizes the bibliographic data of Scopus articles with a suitable search query. The study was done concerning the chronological growth of research publications, highly cited publications, productive countries, prominent journals, prolific authors and institutions, author and country co-authorship network analysis and keywords analysis. The analysis was conducted by using open-source tools such as VOSViewer, Biblioshiny and Gephi. Findings The study reveals that a maximum number of publications on research in “Augmented Reality” are in the form of conference proceedings and articles. A.R., Virtual reality and A.R. application are the keywords with maximum number of occurrences. A significant number of publications are done in the USA, followed by Germany in the year 2020. Originality/value This study provides a precise idea of work done in different countries, a network of co-authorship between authors and countries, publication and citation impact of authors, journals, institutions and countries, year-wise progression and trending “augmented reality” topics research. This investigation will be advantageous for researchers and stakeholders to obtain rigorous bibliographic knowledge on literature related to the topic and work accordingly for R&D activities.

增强现实全球研究趋势:基于Scopus数据库的科学计量制图

本研究旨在对“增强现实”相关的出版物进行科学计量学分析。在当今信息技术驱动的时代，增强现实(ar)已经发展成为一种新的沉浸式数据源，用于开发结合真实和数字图像的知识。因此，人们正在对“增强现实”进行广泛的研究，以发现其在知识发展方面的潜力。方法对Scopus文献的书目数据进行分析和强调，并提出合适的检索条件。该研究涉及研究出版物、高引用出版物、生产国家、著名期刊、多产作者和机构、作者和国家共同作者网络分析和关键词分析的时间顺序增长。使用开源工具如VOSViewer、Biblioshiny和Gephi进行分析。研究结果表明，“增强现实”研究的最大数量的出版物是以会议记录和文章的形式发表的。人工智能、虚拟现实和人工智能应用是出现次数最多的关键词。大量的出版物是在美国完成的，其次是2020年的德国。原创性/价值本研究提供了在不同国家完成的工作的精确概念，作者和国家之间的合作作者网络，作者、期刊、机构和国家的出版物和引用影响，“增强现实”主题研究的年度进展和趋势。这项调查将有利于研究人员和利益相关者获得与该主题相关的文献的严格书目知识，并相应地为研发活动工作。
