Abstract: This study aims to deepen our understanding of the evolving landscape of public procurement (PP) and emerging technologies (ET). It addresses the critical gap in scholarly production analysis, author collaborations, and thematic trends in PP and ET, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. Employing a methodology inspired by prior research, this study leveraged advanced bibliometric tools, including Studio R and the Biblioshiny app, for data retrieval, processing, and visualization. This approach facilitated co-citation, source coupling, and network collaboration analyses. Thematic maps and correspondence analysis were used to explore research themes in depth. The findings highlight a significant surge in research interest in the integration of ET in PP since 2018, underlining the growing importance of technology-driven advancements in the field. These insights are vital for shaping policy decisions, spurring innovation, and enhancing PP processes’ efficiency, transparency, and sustainability, which are crucial for effective governance and economic growth.
