Summary/Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology paradigm that connects billions of devices, enabling seamless communication and data exchange. The study used the Web of Science Core Collection database to uncover global research trends in the IoT. The data in the study were visualized using the VOSviewer software, and bibliometric analysis was performed using the network map technique. The study aims to examine global research trends in IoT, examine IoT-related studies in social sciences, examine the status of IoT studies, especially in management and public administration, and guide researchers who aim to work on this subject. In the study, 87,397 studies on IoT between 2002 and 2022 were examined, and 1162 studies were included by limiting the studies to management and public administration. Studies were categorized and analyzed concerning fields of study, departments, years of publication, keywords, authors, and the most cited authors.
