9 High-frequency Author keywords analysis and

Visualization of Co-occurrence

Keywords clearly reflect the core content of the article in a

concise form, which can be regarded as the soul of the

article. By analyzing the high-frequency keywords, the

research hotspots and overall development trends in the

field are accurately revealed (Qi, Chen, Hu, Song, & Cui,

2019). They are using VOSViewer software to analyze the

frequency of the author keywords. The 20 most frequently

used Author's keywords during the period of 2001–2020

are visualized in Figure 6. The minimum number of 5

keywords occurrence is selected and hence only 134

keywords meet the threshold out of a total of 2337

keywords. The distance and size of the bubble indicate the

number of keyword occurrences and associational links.

'Libraries' is the most frequently and representative author

keyword as it appears 83 times, followed by 'Digital

Libraries' that appear 78 times, followed by 'Academics

Libraries' that appears 70 times, followed by 'Library
