Abstract
Open data and open innovation are two topics currently attracting the attention of academics. But no previous studies consider these fields in combination while using a bibliometric approach. Thus, the aim of this paper is to understand the relationship between open innovation and open data. Two research questions have been formulated: 1) What are the main topics studied in the literature that combine both lines of research? and 2) How can the open innovation paradigm be integrated in the open data impact process? To address the first question, a co-word analysis is used to identify the main topics investigated in the open innovation and open data literature. Based on our results, to answer the second research question, the topics are grouped and analyzed considering a model of the open data impact process. Finally, some future research lines to analyze the open data impact process for open innovation are presented. For example, future research could focus on questions such as (1) What kind of applications can be created through the reuse of open data?; and (2) How do open innovation processes influence the reuse of open data?

Open data and open innovation are two interesting phenomena to study
Two research questions have been defined: What are the main topics studied in the literature that combine both lines of research? How can the open innovation paradigm be integrated in the open data impact process?
TOPICS IN THE OPEN DATA IMPACT PROCESS Once the main topics studied in the literature that combine both lines of research have been identified, the second research question – How can the open innovation paradigm be integrated in the open data impact process? – is addressed
Summary
Open data and open innovation are two interesting phenomena to study. Open data is freely available for use by agents and helps to develop the innovation potential of public and private organizations. Open innovation is based on the openness of the inputs and outputs of the innovation and has changed the paradigm of innovation The combination of both offers the possibility of developing models based on data and innovation openness. This analysis has allowed us to make an aggrupation proposal of the main topics obtained considering the open data impact process model. This paper makes three contributions: 1) It offers a frame of reference for researchers interested in the study of open data and open innovation; 2) It synthesizes existing knowledge through a model to study the open data impact process for open innovation; and 3) It proposes potential areas for future research of open data and open innovation
