ICT, LSA, Bibliometric information, growth rate analysisAbstract
The population of the elderly is growing rapidly and become a major concern in twentieth- century. The impact of this global ageing phenomenon is significant to the human life in all aspect including social, political and economic of all social class. The implementation of ICT application can help to cope with this phenomenon and improve the quality of life of the elderly. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis on the field of ageing and ICT to reveal the trend of research and technologies related in the recent years. Bibliometric information such as keywords and number of publication is extracted from the search result of online publication databases and then further analyzed using computational technique such as growth rate analysis and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) to identify the relationship and the growth of the information extracted. The outcome is a set of terms that are grouped and ranked according to their relevance and growth in the recent year. This result can then provide a brief understanding on the trend of ageing and ICT for the researchers that wish to research on this field.
