Is the Continuance a New Buzz Word? Bibliometric and Co-citation Analysis of E-learning Continuance

Abstract

Through the bibliometric and co-citation analysis, this paper offers a review of science achievements in the area of e-learning continuance, with focus on identification of the field relevance, authors and most cited and co-cited papers, as well as the identification of roots this research area is based on. Based on co-citation network, which chronologically starts with Ajzen’s theory of 1975, another contribution can be drawn from this paper. That contribution leads to a conclusion that Ajzen’s Theory of planned behavior is a starting and adequate basis for all identified research and creates a main recommendation for upcoming researches.
