Abstract
This study examines the global scientific outputs on e-books research by analyzing data on literature indexed by the Web of Science database during the year 2017 and 2025. The data is analyzed based on parameters such as the document types, language, publication output, citations, collaborations, journals, prolific authors, productive countries and most frequently appeared top words/phrases in the title of the articles. Literature on e-books is gradually declining. USA and China were the most productive countries. Journal of Academic Librarianship was the most productive journal, which has published 28 articles on e-books, followed by Journal of Librarianship and Information Science (20) and College & Research Libraries (13). Zhang, Mei of Simmons University, United States was the most productive author on e-books research. As depicted by the word/phrase analysis the researchers were keen on investigating the impact, usage behavior and models of e-books.
