Abstract

The objective of this study is twofold: on one hand, to analyze the current conceptual theories about e-government, e-participation, and social media. On the other hand, to analyze the cooperation among the most influential authors and its organizations where they belong. We will use different bibliometric software such as CitNetExplorer and SciMAT. Conceptual theories and cooperation among the most influential authors and its organizations will help us understand how the last trends in e-government and social media and the dynamics of the academic community work in the area. As interesting results, we can highlight that the technology acceptance model and the unified model of electronic government adoption are motor themes. Additionally, the analysis of the most influential authors and organizations shows that researchers such as Dwivedi from the University of Maryland and Jaeger from the Arizona State University in social media and e-government are the most significant authors. Furthermore, countries such as USA and Spain are leading the research on three topics, where Spanish researchers are growing considerably especially in social media related to e-government.
