    No full text
    This paper performs a bibliometric analysis of all the servitization literature written during the last three decades, providing its social, intellectual, and conceptual structures. The methodology is based on the R-package bibliometrix for the analysis of co-citation, collaboration, and co-occurrence, applied to all the servitization literature published from 1988 to 2017 indexed in Scopus and WoS databases. Results from the 615 reviewed articles synthesize, consolidate, and improve the existing knowledge on the phenomenon. The study allows the identification of the leading authors, institutions, works, and keywords that compose the servitization publications related to the last three decades, suggesting useful metrics for researchers, new potential entrants, and practitioners. Moreover, offering a definition of servitization, the study provides lexicon consistency to both servitization researchers and practitioners, fostering the constructive accumulation of knowledge on the topic. Lastly, the study provides suggestions for future studies and collaborations opportunitie

    This paper reviews scientific articles and patents about Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare. The aim is to explore both the domain of research and the one of practice simultaneously. We compare the annual growth, the country production, and the trend topics of publications and patents, by focusing on the most relevant themes concerning the IoT in the healthcare industry. The analysis started with the selection of the publications and patents for the period 2015–2020. Since this comparative analysis between scientometric data in healthcare is new, the findings of this study can represent the basis for future studies to determine novel research opportunities on IoT. The study provides scholars with a better understanding of IoT research in healthcare and simultaneously extends knowledge of entrepreneurship in this field. Practitioners may benefit from this review to understand new and underexplored opportunities
