A Quantitative Review of the Research on Business Process Management in Digital Transformation: A Bibliometric Approach
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- RQ1—What are the dominant research themes in research about BPM in the DT context?
- RQ2—What are the trends in research about BPM in the DT context?
2. Research Methods
- Step 1: Define aim and scope (Section 1) and choose analysis techniques (Section 2.4)
- Step 2: Define a data source and search strategies (Section 2.1)
- Step 3: Define inclusion criteria (Section 2.2)
- Step 4: Conduct the systematic search (Section 2.3)
- Step 5: Run the analysis and report the result (Section 2.4 and Section 3)
2.1. Data Sources and Search Strategies
2.2. Inclusion Criteria
- The paper’s main focus is BPM as “a management discipline that focuses on improving the efficiency of an organization by managing its component processes”
2.3. Conducting the Systematic Search
2.4. Bibliometric Analysis
- Citation analysis: a basic technique for science mapping that operates on the assumption that citations reflect intellectual linkages between publications that are formed when one publication cites the other [29]. In this analysis, the impact of a publication is determined by the number of citations that it receives.
- Bibliographic coupling: a technique for science mapping that operates on the assumption that two publications sharing common references are also similar in their content [30].
- Co-word analysis: a technique that examines “author keywords”, or notable words from “article titles”, “abstracts”, and “full texts” for the analysis [31]. The co-word analysis assumes that words that frequently appear together have a thematic relationship with other words.
- Co-authorship analysis: examines the interactions among scholars in a research field. Since co-authorship is a formal way of intellectual collaboration among scholars, it is important to understand how scholars interact amongst themselves (including associated author attributes such as affiliated institutions and countries).
