Abstract

The digital library has evolved significantly, shaping an ever-changing environment for the growth of science and research. This study aims to conduct comprehensive analysis of the published research on digital libraries, providing an overview of digital libraries’ research trajectory, and generate nuanced keyword-grouping through systemic analysis. Employing quantitative methods and bibliometric techniques, we analyze 1642 journal articles spanning 1984–2023 from the Scopus database. Core papers on education were initially collected, forming the basis for a keyword co-occurrence network. We then examined changes in network density and identified the development of core topics within the digital libraries field. Our findings reveal that the United States, United Kingdom and India are the top three countries publishing digital libraries-related publications. The International Journal on Digital Libraries, D-LIB Magazine and Science and technology Libraries emerge as the leading sources with the highest publications number. Notably, Nicholas is identified as a prolific author, while the most influential authors are Frantzi, Katerina T., Ananiadou, Sophia & Mima, Hideki. Co-occurrence network analysis identifies five keywords grouping related to digital libraries: academic libraries, metadata, information services, education and e-learning, and collection development.
