ABSTRACT

Technology mining (or tech mining, TM) is an emerging research field in science, technology, and innovation studies. However, due to the rapid increase and widespread application of TM research, accurately capturing research topics and emerging developments in TM has become a challenge for scholars. Therefore, this bibliometric literature review combines quantitative methods and content analysis to explore the research foundation and development frontiers of TM and distinguish emerging research topics from relatively mature ones, aiming to deepen the understanding. More specifically, it utilizes co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling techniques to analyze the TM publication dataset. The results indicate that TM research is mainly based on four foundational areas, and there are five current frontier clusters. Emerging topic detection further shows that technology topic analysis, technology opportunity analysis, and technology management and decision support are currently emerging TM research topics.
