This research tracked the knowledge frameworks of the Metaverse academic field. To this end, we employed “metaverse” as the keyword to gather articles from Web of Science and performed bibliometric analyses using VOSviewer. Concretely, we explored productive and highly-cited authors, institutes, countries/regions, and journals/conference proceedings. For a deeper understanding of the state of Metaverse research, we also reviewed highly-cited literature and performed keyword-occurrence analysis. Overall, this is one of the first studies providing a comprehensive understanding of knowledge structures in the context of Metaverse research.
