Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the scholarly landscape surrounding gig work, focusing on the trends, key themes, and influential research contributions. 3828 articles from the WoS database were analysed using a bibliometric analysis, including the co-citation analysis, keyword analysis, and citation network mapping. We uncover the evolution of research trajectories, prominent authors, and core concepts within the field. The results illuminate the interdisciplinary nature of gig work research. Moreover, the paper pinpoints emerging topics and gaps in the existing literature, offering valuable insights for future research endeavours. This bibliometric contributes to a deeper understanding of the scholarly discourse surrounding gig work, furnishing a blueprint for propelling research in this dynamic domain.
