A Bibliometric Analysis of Internet of Things and Augmented Reality Applications in Agriculture: A Scopus-Based Review (2019–2026)

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies has emerged as a transformative approach in modern agriculture, enabling precision farming, real-time monitoring, and immersive decision-support systems. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research trends related to IoT and AR applications in agriculture using data retrieved from the Scopus database. A total of 72 publications were gathered from 2020 to 2026. The metadata is then analyzed using bibliometric techniques to identify publication trends, document types, research themes, and emerging directions. The results reveal a steady increase in publications, with the highest number of records (20 documents) in 2024 and a slight drop to a total of 12 documents in 2025. Conference papers represent the largest proportion of publications (20 documents), followed by book chapters (17 documents), and reviews with 13 documents, reflecting the changing and experimental nature of this research area. Key research themes include precision agriculture, smart farming systems, digital twins, sensor networks, and real-time visualization for crop monitoring. The findings highlight the increasing role of AR interfaces integrated with IoT sensor data for enhanced agricultural decision-making. This study provides an inclusive overview of research developments and identifies potential future directions, including AI-driven AR visualization, digital agriculture ecosystems, and sustainable farming technologies.
