Abstract

The present research aims to provide a comprehensive view of the current status of research on the innovation ecosystem. This is scientometrics effort to extract and analyze Bibliometrics networks in this field, conducted based on the indices of the Scopes citation database. The documents indexed on the open innovation ecosystem were extracted from the Scopes database from 2009 to 2023 using the systematic review method. They were then fed into Viewer to analyze Bibliometrics networks and use data mining techniques. The results revealed an ascending trend of publications on the open innovation ecosystem over the recent decade. According to the findings of the systematic review of the literature, keywords in the definitions of the open innovation ecosystem, such as network, actors, value creation, etc., have received the attention of researchers. Furthermore, the results of the co-citation network analysis also show that the literature is placed in four clusters: “open innovation,” “value creation and triple helix,” “production innovation in the open innovation ecosystem,” and “launching and development of open innovation.” According to research findings in recent years the relationship of topics such as cultural, industries sustainable development Sustainability etc.,
