Abstract: This paper aims to verify the trends in the scientific research about Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) published in journal papers from 2006 to 2016. RFID is a well-known information technology, which is used in different sectors to track and identify goods and to control and preserve the quality of products and their data. Because many researchers have studied RFID, practitioners are investing their time in developing low-cost and longer-life RFID systems using artificial intelligence, decision-aid tools, and the inclusion of a variety of sensors, questions emerge about its publications. Some different multidisciplinary database (Scopus and Web of Science), mainly based on peer-reviewed journals, were accessed. Therefore, to examine these papers, a sequence of statistical analyses was also studied. We found 17,190 papers, most of which were concentrated in SciVerse Scopus, and the increase paper tax (RGR(i)) decreased between 2006 and 2015, and started increasing between 2015 and 2016. Even though some journals are very famous for publishing information technology subjects, a journal on mechanical and materials concentrated most papers.
