Abstract

This study used a hybrid methodology that combines bibliometric analysis and literature reviews to investigate the characteristics of digital government trends and research data gathered from the Scopus database. The findings of this investigation are presented in this paper. Bibliometric analysis and literature reviews were the two types of research methods that were utilized in this study. The literature review makes use of citation analysis to detect patterns in the relationship between scientific papers, whereas the bibliometric analysis employs quantitative tools to evaluate published physical units. Citespace Software can be used to map and analyze social networks, assess the quality and impact of scientific publications, visualize the structure and evolution of scientific fields, identify research centers, trends, and essential topics in a particular area, and identify new trends and topics in a specific field of science. The most significant research on the subject of digital government transformation development has been done in Russia, which is the country in question.
