Bibliometric Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Applications in Library Science

Abstract

The fast development of Artificial Intelligence technology has revolutionized library science and information management. The following work is an overview of bibliometric studies conducted on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Library Science from 2010 to 2024. Bibliometric data for this paper were obtained through the Dimensions database, with 2967 research articles being analyzed using Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer. The analysis focused on annual trends in publications, high-impact journals, prolific authors, countries' contributions, and citations. The findings showed an impressive growth in the number of publications during the period under consideration, especially after 2017. This trend indicates that there is an increased research interest in Artificial Intelligence technologies in library and information sciences. The major contributors to research on Artificial Intelligence technologies included China and the USA, while the main journal publications included Scientometrics and Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology. Results indicate how Artificial Intelligence is becoming an integral part of libraries today and emphasize the worldwide growth of studies in this field. These results will be helpful to determine future research directions related to Artificial Intelligence within the scope of Library Science.
