Abstract: Among international journals, the International Journal of Mobile Learning and Organisation (IJMLO) is one of a small number that focus on mobile-enabled schooling and professional training. IJMLO has been widely referred and has been included in the SCOPUS database since its first publication in 2007. In 2022, IJMLO was included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) due to its high citation rates. To clearly understand the advancements and paradigm shift in mobile and ubiquitous learning over the past 16 years, a bibliometric analysis was performed to analyse publications in IJMLO from 2007 to 2022. The analysis included several key issues such as the publication and citation structure of the journal, the most cited articles, the relationship of leading authors and countries/regions in the journal, and the topics and thematic evolution.

Keywords: bibliometrics; citation analysis; mobile learning; ubiquitous learning; augmented reality.
