Mapping Knowledge in Digitalization Risk Management—A Bibliometric Approach

This paper investigates knowledge in the field of digitalization risk management through bibliometric analysis, in order to provide a critical overview of scientific knowledge and highlight future research directions. The main goal involved bibliometric analysis of publications from 2009-2025 using VosViewer and Biblioshiny - Bibliometrix. The research was conducted following a specific methodology and protocol for the design, planning and data collection for the review process; carrying out the review and bibliometric analysis; and evaluating and presenting research findings. The inclusion of studies in the analysis was carried out in accordance with PRISMA 2020 flow diagram template for systematic reviews. The most important results of the research seem to indicate that the analyzed period was marked by an upward trend in scientific interest, with an increase of publications after 2018-2019 and as a result of the Covid-19. The most productive countries are Germany, Italy, Russia, Ukraine and China. The most prolific institutions are Seoul National University and State University of Trade and Economics. Citations tend to follow the annual publication rate. According to thematic map, risk management is one of the motor themes and, as an element of originality, future research trends in this area include themes such as transformation, systems, resilience and digital risks.
