Digital Transformation during COVID-19 Pandemic – a Bibliometric Analysis

Unquestionably, the COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the growing interest in the topic of digital transformation and organizations seeking a competitive advantage. Since this is a new topic, little is understood about the interactions and the effects between Covid-19 and digital transformation. The paper seeks to provide an overall view on this subject and see the common view by academic environment through a bibliometric analysis, which was built on data extracted from WoS - Web of Science database and using VOSviewer software. It also aims to identify the main topics that configure the studies on digital transformation, identify the main clusters, and to identify a research trend in this topic. This analysis highlights how a certain (major) event, such as Covid 19, influences both the functionality and results of some organizations, through the lens of associated factors, as well as the fields of scientific research.
