Purpose: The purpose of this study is to conduct comprehensive and in-depth research in the field of strategic information systems using bibliometric analysis. This involves identifying publication trends, main authors, main institutional contributors, key contributing countries, main keywords, and research gaps within the field.
Methodology: The methodology employed bibliometric analysis tools, including VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, BiblioMagika and OpenRefine. Data were collected from the Scopus database based on research titles, then audited and cleaned using these tools, resulting in the inclusion of 408 publications in this study. Tables and analytical figures were then extracted from these publications using bibliometric analysis tools.
Results - This study accomplished its objectives through comprehensive bibliometric analysis, examining various aspects including publication trends, document types, source titles, languages, subject areas, keywords, geographical distribution, authorship, active institutions, and citations. The analysis uncovered the field of strategic information systems' significance since 1973, with a consistent stream of publications, including 16 in 2023, and an annual citation density of 231.90, highlighting its ongoing relevance. Importantly, this study serves as the first bibliometric paper that explicitly addresses strategic information systems, addressing a notable research gap. Furthermore, the analysis identified a need to bridge the gap between strategic information systems and related fields, such as supply chain management.
Limitations - This study exclusively utilized the Scopus database, allowing future researchers to explore similar research using alternative databases like Web of Science (WOS). Additionally, there is potential for further investigation into connecting the field of strategic information systems with other disciplines, and we encourage future researchers to explore this avenue.
Originality/Value - This study used high-quality data from Scopus and was rigorously audited through analytical tools and manual checks to ensure accurate results. It significantly enriches the topic of strategic information systems. It is the first bibliometric paper that explicitly addresses strategic information systems, providing great value to researchers interested in this field.
