Utilizing Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, the analysis uncovers emerging patterns, thematic evolutions, and collaboration networks within the field. Findings highlight the geographical distribution of research activities and the development of new subfields over time. The study provides a detailed map of the current state of avatar marketing research, suggesting areas for further exploration, including interdisciplinary studies and examining cultural differences. This comprehensive review offers valuable insights and a robust framework for future research, contributing significantly to the field by enhancing our understanding and proposing a trajectory for future investigations.
