Abstract: This paper presents the thematic evolution between 1996 and 2019 of research on information technologies (IT) in the context of two supply chain strategies that seek to improve supply chain responsiveness, lean supply chain (LSC) and agile supply chain (ASC) strategies, using SciMAT software. Specifically, an analysis of bibliometric indicators was carried out to study published papers, citations, most contributing authors to the field, journal impact factor, h-index, and data on the geographic distribution of papers. Science mapping analysis was performed using co-word networks in a longitudinal framework. The results enabled us to analyse the evolution of three thematic areas in this research field: role of IT in supply chain and performance, effects of IT on agile strategy, and emerging IT for lean strategy.
