Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study various aspects of the usage of cloud computing in organizational structure and provides details on keywords, countries of origin, authors of these articles and publications. This study employs a visual way to assess articles about the usage of cloud computing in organizational structure. VOSviewer was used to locate and provide a summary of Web of Science papers from 1800 to the present. Publication source, publication organization, authors, funding sources, nation, citations of articles, citations of country, and citations of publication source were noted and examined. Citation, authorship, co-citation, and network of keyword co-occurrence bibliometric maps were created. 4449 cited references and 393 articles were analyzed. The United States dominates the citations (1196) and publications (54, 13.7%). Indian Institute of Technology System IIT System with seven publications is the most productive affiliation. Al-ruithe, Majid and Benkhelifa, Elhadj are the most productive authors with 10 total link strength, 61 citations and six publications. The International journal of information management had the highest citations on cloud computing application in organizational structure. The latest keyword “cloud computing” appeared in 182 papers. Other relatively new keywords comprise “big data”, “security”, “privacy”, “data science”, “encryption” and “cloud security” respectively. This paper offers integrated visualization’s examination with regards to innovation and knowledge for scholars and practitioners based on cloud computing application in organizational structure.
