Bibliometric Analysis of Robotic Process Automation

Abstract

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a recent technology that focuses on automating routine, repetitive, rule-based human operations with the intention of giving firms that choose to utilize such software a competitive edge. The scholarly literature on robotic process automation is still lacking since it is a relatively new technology that has just entered the market. So, the goal of this article is to find out how academics define robotic process automation and how much research has been done on it in terms of state, number of papers, authors citations, keyword networks, country-by-country number of publications and type of source, GS score of paper, citations per year author by author, citations per year title by title, trends, and robotic process automation applications. In the study, Bibliometric Analysis based on Scopus and WoS databases has been conducted for 22 years, from 2000 to the year 2022. The paper provides the results of the undertaken Bibliometric Analysis on Robotic process automation. It was explored in the Research that Research on robotic process automation across the globe is being populated. And India is prominently digging deep into robotic process automation research and securing the second position and, most importantly, surpassing China in the domain, despite being a less techno-savvy nation. For Bibliometric Analysis and developing network, vosviwer and publish or perish software was used by the researcher, respectively.
