토픽 모델링으로 살펴본 디지털 전환 시대의 융합기술 연구 변화 = Changes in Converging Technology Research in the Digital Transformation Era: A Topic Modeling Approach

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Advancement in information and communication technology (ICT) and the acceleration of digital transformation have blurred industry and technology boundaries, driving the spread of converging technologies. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified demands for non-contact solutions, automation, and sustainability, rapidly expanding the scope of research and applications in the field. This study aims to analyze thematic changes in scholarly research on converging technologies over the past decade (2015~2025) and to identify their characteristics within the information systems domain. To this end, 485 article abstracts were collected from the Web of Science database, and topic modeling was conducted. The analysis was categorized into four groups: overall converging technology research, pre-COVID-19, post-COVID-19, and the information systems field. Results revealed eight core themes in overall research, including digital transformation, industrial convergence, sustainable innovation, and applied technology diffusion. Post-pandemic studies showed emerging agendas such as global collaboration, environmental and social sustainability, and digital resilience. In the information system domain, discussions encompassed technology diffusion and opportunity exploration, knowledge spillover, and technology research over time and across fields, providing a foundation for expanding academic discourse and guiding policy and industrial strategies.
