The digital economy has gained excellent research attention in both practices and academia. Various organizations in the world are using digital technology. Recently, there has been much interest in topics like the Blockchain, sharing economy, and others, leading to apparent changes in several fields. At the same time, interest in the digital business economy is expanding. The bibliometrics analysis on the subject is a great way to address and discuss the possibilities and risks of the digital revolution. This study retrieved 10258 articles from the web of sciences database between 2015 and 2022. The analysis's findings revealed that since 2015, publications have significantly increased in several disciplines, including management, business, economics, library and information science, business economics, and others. In addition, research institutions in Spain, the USA, and the UK have excelled in the field of the digital economy. The authors used the VOS viewers software to examine what occurred and generate a keyword map showing the connection between the topic and the cooccurrence network generated by keyword data. As a result, researchers, funding organizations, policymakers, and business professionals interested in developing the digital economy can use this paper as a resource.
