Abstract
This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of research on digital nomads, focusing particularly on open-access articles published in English. The methodology employs advanced bibliometric techniques such as co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence, co-word analysis, trend topics, thematic evolution, and scientometric mapping. A total of 116 documents from the Web of Science, spanning the period between 2005 and March 28, 2024, were screened and analyzed using the VOSviewer, MAXQDA, and R programs. For this investigation, we utilized Biblioshiny, an R-based graphical interface of Bibliometrix, renowned for its ability to create clear visualizations of literature through text-mining functionality, revealing the conceptual and intellectual structure of the field. Distinguished by its comprehensive methodology, temporal coverage, and scope on the topic of digital nomadism, this study sets itself apart from previous articles. It traces the evolution of research in this area, offering a nuanced identification of gaps and future research opportunities. Basic findings of our study: The top five most frequently used keywords, with the highest connection power, are digital nomads, digital nomadism, remote work, nomadic work and mobility respectively. Our analysis reveals that the journals with the highest number of articles and citations in this field include World Leisure Journal, Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes, Information Technology \& Tourism, Computer Supported Cooperative Work-The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices and Sustainability. When considering the number of articles and citations by country, the USA, England, Russia, Australia and Spain emerge as the leading contributors. Through highlighting information gaps and suggesting research opportunities, this study aims to contribute to the shaping of future research paths in the field of digital nomadism.
