Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of the scientific works carried out on the topic of research specific to the field of e-government and to investigate the connection between the topics in the research area. In several countries, the desire to develop a new organizational structure of the e-government is in the initial stages. That is why we consider that there is still room for research in this field, especially in terms of insufficient clarification of the phenomenon, both conceptually and procedurally. Our study focuses on bibliometric analysis, investigating 484 references collected from the database of the Core Web of Science (WoS) collection. At the basis of the empirical approach proposed to render in a graphic map the results of the analysis, we resorted to the research tools VOSviewer similarities visualization program. In this research, we analyzed co-occurrence of keywords, co-authorship and co-citation in the field of e-governance. Such an approach is not only the state of knowledge but also has the most important influence, the authors, institutions and countries that develop research in the field Our results evidence the existence of strong links between the main tools adopted by different countries regarding e-government. Taking into account the stage where most countries are regarding e-government, research in this area is required.
