Description
Summary:In recent years there has been a gradual increase in scientific production on the application of Augmented Reality (AR) in students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). However, a global picture of the field of study has not been established to allow us to study its evolution. As a result, we propose to analyse conceptually, intellectually and socially the global trends in the application of AR in students with ASD using bibliometric techniques in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus. A bibliometric study was implemented with a sample of 88 documents obtained from the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus during the period 1996–2020. The results show that this is a field with several defined thematic lines: firstly, the inclusion of students with ASD in school. Secondly, the diverse technological tools that allow to improve the AR scenarios and finally the determination of the most worked areas in the ASD. In addition to this, most of the authors work individually, but there are co-citation networks around the most cited papers. This means that, especially in WOS, there are very robust networks. As future lines of research, the possibility of adding new bibliometric software that makes it possible to obtain more bibliometric indicators on the documents is considered.
