Abstract

While various topics in mobile computing, commerce and applications have been extensively investigated, the co-occurrences of keywords in the relevant studies remain relatively unexplored. This study performs a co-word a widely adopted method of science mapping in scientometrics, for a corpus of 4821 SCI/SSCI indexed papers related to mobility in the Web of Science (WoS) database from 1995 to 2013. The results reveal the interplay over time among mobile computing, commerce and applications. The emerging concepts demonstrated in the strategic diagrams and the associated co-word structures have implications for researchers who are tracking the topics which might gain ground over the next few years.
