Enhancing Resilience via Exponential Technologies: Analysing Trends, Focus and Contributions

Abstract

This article seeks to conduct a bibliometric analysis focusing on exponential technologies such as big data, internet of thing (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and cloud computing. It aims to outline research trends in this domain and explore their correlation with resilience. The study aims to track the evolution of research trends in this field over time and identify less explored dimensions of exponential technologies. Leveraging performance analysis and science mapping techniques, the paper highlights the significant growth and potential in these areas, considering them as pivotal agendas of the twenty-first century. By examining scientific productivity metrics such as publications, authors, institutions, countries and keywords, the article offers insights into emerging areas within exponential technologies. As the first comprehensive study of its kind, it provides a broad overview of the main trends and patterns in resilience research encompassing big data, IoT, AI, blockchain and cloud computing, consolidating them into a single cohesive narrative.
