Abstract

The smart university concept seeks to improve the quality of life by applying information technologies in a comprehensive, intensive, and sustainable way. It is an emerging concept, where little attention has been paid so far to the quantitative description of its evolution. The main objective of this article is to present the results of a bibliometric analysis around the emerging concept of smart university. It includes citation analysis, keyword networks, journal co-citation networks, references, and most cited authors. For this paper, a computer tool was used as a support to identify and visualize the intellectual structure of the smart university concept and its relationships retrieved from the Dimensions.ai. platform.
