abstract = {Internet of Things (IoT) is a key technology trend that supports our digitalized society in applications such as
smart countries and smart cities. In this study, we investigate the existing strategic themes, thematic evolution
structure, key challenges, and potential research opportunities associated with the IoT. For this study, we conduct
a Bibliometric Performance and Network Analysis (BPNA), supplemented by an exhaustive Systematic Literature
Review (SLR). Specifically, in BPNA, the software SciMAT is used to analyze 14,385 documents and 30,381
keywords in the Web of Science (WoS) database, which was released between 2002 and 2019. The results reveal
that 31 clusters are classified according to their importance and development, and the conceptual structures of
key clusters are presented, along with their performance analysis and the relationship with other subthemes. The
thematic evolution structure describes the important cluster(s) over time. For the SLR, 23 documents are
analyzed. The SLR reveals key challenges and limitations associated with the IoT. We expect the results will form
the basis of future research and guide decision-making in the IoT and other supporting industries.},
