Abstract

The aim of the study is to visualize the status quo of the research on digital divide via co-citation analysis. A total of 494 papers were retrieved from the Web of Science database with full bibliographic records including authors, titles, abstracts, and reference lists. CiteSpace II was used to conduct visualization analysis about the research on digital divide by identifying the most influential authors, representative countries, and essential papers, as well as research hotspots, evolution path and research frontiers in the field of digital divide.
