A Bibliometric Analysis of Digital Nomad Researches

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

Digital nomads, making their livelihood using digital technologies, are cosmopolitan people who refuse to live settled lifestyles and to work in fixed office conditions. In recent years the number of digital nomads has been increasing because of developments in the internet and alternative media sources. Nomads, who determine their lifestyles and locations according to this life perspective rather than to their profession, have been the subject of various multidisciplinary studies, especially in economy, tourism, technology, and social fields. This article presents a bibliometric analysis of studies on digital nomads indexed in the Scopus database. In light of the data from the VOSviewer program, 44 studies were examined, and the variables such as authors, keywords, citations, countries, journals were analyzed. The current study aims to reveal the significance of digital nomads emerging as a new professional entrepreneurship model, a new tourist typology, and, principally, an alternative lifestyle.
