1. INTRODUCTION
With the rapid advancement of technology in today's world, digital marketing strategies are undergoing a significant
transformation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a critical role in this transformation. AI technologies offer marketers a range
of advantages, such as big data analysis, personalized content creation, im provement of customer experience, and
automation of sales processes (Murgai, 2018).
In this study, digital marketing and artificial intelligence research, indexed in Web of Science, has been examined through a
multidimensional perspective using bibliometric analysis, a qualitative research method. First, this article examines how
artificial intelligence is used in digital marketing and explores its potential benefits. AI technologies support digital marketing
in various areas, such as personalization, customer service, data analysis, and forecasting. The article focuses on examples of
usage in these areas and highlights current research in the literature. Second, digital marketing and artificial intelligence
research, indexed in Web of Science, has been examined through a multidimensional perspective using bibliometric analysis,
a qualitative research method.
Combining previous research results and bibliometric information is vital in progressively enhancing scientific understanding .
Applying bibliometric analysis enables an impartial evaluation of scientific writings through a quantitative methodology. Such
investigations deliver an open, methodical, and replicable literature survey. This bibliometric survey enlightens individuals
seeking to explore pertinent scholarly works (Zupic & Cater, 2015). Bibliometrics comprises a collection of numerical and
mathematical techniques employed to assess and examine the excellence and volume of articles, books, and other written

documentation, results from a numerical appraisal of the generation, circulation, and application of data garnered from
library assemblages and amenities like WoS within bibliometric investigations.
Consequently, the objective is to enrich the comprehension of the scientific research mechanism within bibliometric studies
(Osareh, 1996). Numerous bibliometric metrics like citation counts, keywords, titles, partnerships, and organizations can be
generated from various databases. Utilizing these databases allows for the execution of bibliometric investigations. The
exploration of bibliometrics can revolve around attributes of publications, citation influence, national evaluation, and topi c
scrutiny. Notably, bibliometric scrutiny differentiates itself from systematic reviews and meta -analyses (Donthu et al., 2021).
Sixty accessible studies were reached by searching with the keywords "digital marketing" and "artificial intelligence" in the
title, abstract, and keywords sections on WoS.
This research is organized as follows. First, the concepts of digital marketing in the literature are explained. Then, from t he
marketing perspective, the artificial intelligence theoretical background is based on previous research. A bibliometric analysis
process followed this given in the methodology section. In the last section, our findings are detailed, and contributions of the
study are presented.)
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. Digital Marketing
Digital marketing is an approach where marketing activities are carried out through the Internet and other digital
technologies. Businesses aim to reach their target audience, increase customer interactions, and boost sales using digital
channels (Chaffey & Ellis-Chadwick, 2019). Digital marketing is closely related to marketing itself. Businesses use digital
marketing processes to reach their target audience effectively. Digital marketing offers a more measurable, customer-centric,
and interactive approach than traditional marketing methods. It also helps better understand customer behavior and makes
marketing efforts more efficient. Businesses that employ marketing strategies and tactics involving digital technologies,
particularly the Internet, can build brand awareness, manage customer interactions, and directly reach their target audience
(Mangold & Faulds, 2009).
Additionally, businesses can analyze consumer behavior, engage with their target audience, and increase sales (Ryan & Jones,
2009). Businesses aim to reach their target audience and manage customer relationships using digital marketing through
websites, social media platforms, e-mail marketing, and other digital channels (Frost & Strauss, 2016). Digital marketing
encompasses marketing strategies that involve the Internet and other digital technologies. Businesses can measure their
marketing outcomes using digital channels (Chaffey & Smith, 2017).
It has been noted that digital marketing is a factor that influences marketing strategies (Smith & Zook, 2011). Online platforms
provide various tools for businesses to reach and engage with their target audience. This has led to the adopting of digital
marketing strategies that replace traditional ones. Digital marketing has made marketing activities more measurable and
trackable for businesses (Mangold & Faulds, 2009). Businesses can better understand customer behavior and optimize their
marketing efforts through internet-based tools and analytical methods. Digital marketing has increased customer interaction
and encouraged engagement (Chaffey & Ellis-Chadwick, 2019). Social media, blogs, and online discussion forums allow
businesses to interact directly with customers and receive feedback. This interaction can enhance brand loyalty and customer
satisfaction. Digital marketing has allowed businesses broader global market access (Frost & Strauss, 2016). The Internet
eliminates geographical limitations, allowing businesses to reach customers worldwide. This increases the growth potential
for businesses in international markets. Digital marketing can reduce costs and improve business efficiency (Hollensen, 2019).
While traditional marketing methods often require higher costs, digital marketing offers a more economical and scalable
option. Businesses can reduce costs and increase profitability by advertising and selling online through digital platforms.
Therefore, digital marketing encompasses marketing activities through digital technologies and provides businesses with
opportunities to enhance brand awareness, customer interaction, customer relationship management, and sales.

Artificial intelligence enhances automation processes in various sectors. It is effective in areas such as automated control of
production lines, management of robotic systems, and automation in data analysis and predictions (Huang & Rust, 2021).
Artificial intelligence is utilized in medicine for diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. It plays a significant role in disease
diagnosis, image analysis, drug development, analysis of health records, and patient monitoring (Kumar et al., 2021). Artific ial
intelligence is employed in financial services for risk assessment, investment strategies, fraud detection, customer service,
and trade analysis (Tiwari et al., 2020). Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in the automotive industry, partic ularly in
autonomous vehicles and driver assistance systems. It analyzes sensor data of vehicles to evaluate environmental factors and
make driving decisions (Tubaro & Casilli, 2019). Artificial intelligence is utilized in education for student assessment,
personalized learning, adaptive learning, virtual teachers, and language learning (Elhajj ar et al., 2021). Artificial intelligence
is used in natural language processing techniques for text understanding, translation, analysis, and generation. It is widely
employed in voice assistants, text-based chatbots, and language translation applications (Shankar & Parsana, 2022). Artificial
intelligence enhances interaction in customer services through chatbots and virtual assistants. It performs tasks such as
answering questions, resolving issues, providing recommendations, and enhancing the customer experience (Dimitrieska et
al., 2018). Artificial intelligence is used in security for threat detection, prevention of cyber attacks, fraud detection, a nd video
surveillance (Li, 2018). Artificial intelligence is also employed in artistic fields such as musi c, painting, and literature. It is
utilized for music composition, image generation, and text creation (Eriksson et al., 2021).
Artificial intelligence is now considered a necessity in the modern corporate environment. Both small and large organizations
are utilizing these technologies to enhance the efficiency of their business operations and provide customers with better,
personalized experiences (Jain & Pandey, 2017). Artificial intelligence is now intelligently automating data -driven and
repetitive tasks for marketers, reducing costs and accelerating revenue growth by improving their ability to make wide-scale
predictions. The abundance of data, exponential growth in computing power, and the availability of artificial intelligence from
leading technology companies are reducing, and sometimes replacing, the time-intensive, data-focused tasks commonly
performed by marketers (Jarek & Mazurek, 2019). Traditional marketing strategies rely on intuitive and experience -based
decision-making. Data analysis is limited, and predictability is low. Artificial intelligence can analyze large amounts of data
and provide predictability. Machine learning and data analytics algorithms can assist in predicting customer behaviors,
identifying trends, and optimizing marketing strategies (Fathali et al., 2022). Traditional marketing often involves messages
and campaigns targeting general audiences. Personalization and targeting are limited. Artificial intelligence enables customer
segmentation and personalization by analyzing collected data. Personalized messages, product recommendations, and
experiences can increase customer engagement and conversion rates (Huang & Rust, 2021). Traditional marketing usually
offers one-way communication and has a limited impact on the customer experience. Artificial intelligence can enhance the
customer experience by providing interactive and personalized experiences. AI-based applications such as chatbots, voice
assistants, and personalized recommendations increase customer interaction and provide a more positive experience
(Marinchak et al., 2018). Traditional marketing processes are often manual and time-consuming. Automation is limited, and
efficiency is low. Artificial intelligence improves efficiency by providing automation in marketing proces ses. It offers
opportunities for automation in tasks such as data analysis, campaign management, and customer relationship management
(Rathore, 2023). Traditional marketing strategies must be revised to predict conversion rates and increase sales. Artificial
intelligence, through data analysis and predictability, has the potential to increase conversion rates and optimize sales.
Analyzing customer behaviors can enhance conversions through personalized offers and campaigns (Haleem et al., 2022).
Artificial intelligence can make marketing processes more efficient, effective, and personalized. It contributes significantly to
marketing in data analysis, predictability, automation, personalization, and customer experience. However, the human factor
and creativity are essential in marketing strategies. Marketers who embrace artificial intelligence technologies can create
significant and sustainable competitive advantages for themselves and their businesses. Artificial intelligence allows
marketers to enhance their marketing strategies, improve customer experiences, and grow their businesses by providing
various advantages.

physically published units, bibliographic units, or both. In simpler terms, Norton (2001) characterizes bibliometrics as a
measure of texts and information. Bibliometrics is a valuable contemporary tool that allows researchers to explore their
research domains and assess outputs and outcomes. Aria and Cuccurullo (2017), the "bibliometrix" software package is
crafted for utilization within the R coding language. This facilitates a thorough exploration of literature -based investigations
and furnishes researchers with perspectives into advancements within diverse domains.
The study of bibliometric data consists of two segments. The first segment selects the source from which research can be
analyzed. For this purpose, the Web of Science database has been chosen. A search query has been formulated for
comprehensive data collection in the second segment. For this purpose, the field of social sciences has been selected, various
filters have been applied to the search query, and it has been adjusted to align with the objectives and yield optimal results.
The final search query is 'TITLE-ABS-KEY ("digital marketing" AND "artificial intelligence"). In the study, publications were
examined in August 2023. Therefore, there will be more publications by the end of 2023. So, 60 accessible studies were
reached by searching with the keywords in the title, abstract and keywords sections on WoS.
This research aimed to answer the following research questions:
RQ1: What is the distribution of articles related to digital marketing and artificial intelligence, indexed in Web of Science,
based on years?
RQ2: Which universities and research-publishing journals contribute the most to the literature on digital marketing and
artificial intelligence?
RQ3: How have the keywords of research in digital marketing and artificial intelligence changed over the years?
RQ4: Which studies and authors have made the most significant contributions regarding digital marketing and artificial
intelligence citations?
In the research, these questions are answered through descriptive analysis. Furthermore, the fundamental sources, authors,
countries, publications, and connections in the publications where digital marketing is used in conjunction with artificial
intelligence are being analyzed. In addition to these, the analysis utilizes Bradford's Law to identify core sources (Viju &
Ganesh, 2013). According to the Bradford Law, sources are divided into three zones. Zone 1 is highly productive and is
considered the nuclear zone. Zone 2 is moderately efficient, and sources related to Zone 3 have low productivity.
Fundamental areas of study and essential motifs are crucial in connecting diverse strands of research and shaping the future
trajectory of academic inquiry. We have embraced specific technical instruments like co-occurrence maps, thematic maps,
and thematic evolution analyses to achieve this objective. Our utilization of Keywords Plus is motivated by its ability to
delineate the scholarly framework of the study and facilitate the recognition and interconnection of distinct research domains
(Li et al., 2016). The author's chosen keywords signify the principal focal points of the investigation. Keywords sourced from
the database succinctly encapsulate the article's essence. Unlike the author's designated keywords, keywords present more
elaborative patterns (Tripathi et al., 2018). To unearth research streams and motifs within the literature, we employ
'biblioshiny,' a bibliometric analysis tool furnished by the R-program, centered around exploring research keywords.
4. FINDINGS
The analysis revealed 60 publications, written by 140 researchers, that were spread from 2017 to 2023. As a result of the
analysis, research in scientific journals obtained from the WoS database was found in different categories during the review
process. These are summarized below as the distribution of studies conducted over different years, different types of
research, authors with the highest number of citations, studies with the highest number of citations, countries that produce
the most research, journals that publish most frequently, and the most frequently encountered keywords in research.
4.1. Publications over the Years
Figure 1 gives the number of publications distribution in the journal from 2017 to 2023. In Figure, the publication-year
distribution shows an increasing trend. One publication was made in 2017, 1 in 2018, 4 in 2019, 8 in 2020, 18 in 2021, 18 in
2022, and 10 in 2023 (August). So figure illustrates the distribution of research throughout the years within digital marketing
and artificial intelligence. The annual growth rate of study counts was determined to be 44.22%. Upon considering a broad
research perspective linked to marketing driven by digital marketing and artificial intelligence, a cumulative count of 60
publications of 140 authors spread across 46 journals was detected (2017-2023). In the study, publications were examined
in August 2023. Therefore, there will be more publications by the end of 2023. Considering past trends, the upward trend in
the number of publications will continue.

Furthermore, it aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of digital marketing and artificial intelligence articles search ed in
WoS with the biblioshiny interface obtained using the R bibliometrix package in this research. Bibliometric analysis methods
are categorized in various manners. This study discussed citation, author, word, and bibliometric coupling analysis. Combining
preceding research discoveries and bibliometric information constitutes a pivotal stride toward the progressive enhancement
of scientific understanding. Bibliometric investigation objectively evaluates the scientific written works through a quantifi able
methodology. Such inquiries offer a transparent, methodical, and replicable scrutiny of the literature. This bibliometric
evaluation illuminates individuals desiring to delve into pertinent scholarly literature (Büyükkidik, 2022). Bibliometric analyzes
provide researchers with a better understanding of their position in the literature and their potential contributions. These
analyzes can help researchers make more informed and strategic decisions, conduct better research, and follow
developments in the relevant field.
Han et al. (2021) systematically examined artificial intelligence-supported B2B marketing literature by applying a bibliometric
research method on artificial intelligence and business-to-business marketing. Their study summarized 221 journal articles
published between 1990 and 2021. In this regard, they suggested future research directions on this subject to researchers.
Although this study considers B2B strategies and artificial intelligence, which are innovations in the field of digi tal marketing,
since our research directly examines artificial intelligence and digital marketing, it contains more general findings and dif fers
from the other studies. Faruk et al. (2021) examined 925 articles published in Scopus between 2000 and 2019 to understand
the current situation in digital marketing and show how effective studies shape it. The findings reveal that an average of 2. 18
authors contributed to each digital marketing article, and the collaboration index was 2.71. It also shows that the t op
contributing countries in digital marketing are the USA, India, and the UK. Research studies in the field of digital marketing It
divided into three main groups: strategic planning and digital marketing, application development and mobile marketing, and
studies on customer demographic profiles. Varsha et al. (2021) examined the impact of artificial intelligence on brands in
their exploratory research. This research was conducted using the Scopus database, which contains 117 articles covering the
period 1982-2019. The study used bibliometric methods such as collaboration, citation analysis, and co-citation analysis. The
empirical research investigated the value propositions of artificial intelligence on brands. The study identified nine distinct
topic clusters, four clusters of citation analysis, and four co-citation analyses. As a result, the study provided up-to-date
information on the impact of AI on brands, revealing merger and spin-off patterns and multi-disciplinary involvement on the
topic. Chae (2022) used a bibliometric approach, aiming to map the academic literature in digital business. The study
examined 1,868 articles covering the 20 years between 2000 and early 2021. The research focused on research trends in
digital business, publication sources, highly cited articles and prolific researchers, popular themes, and their changes over
time. Bawack et al. (2022) combine research on artificial intelligence in e-commerce and provide guidelines through which
information systems research can contribute to this field. Bibliometric analysis and literature review are combined using an
innovative approach. Bibliometric data was analyzed on 4335 documents, and 229 articles published in leading information
systems journals were examined. The research shows that studies on artificial intelligence in e-commerce mainly focus on
recommendation systems. Additionally, main research themes such as sentiment analysis, trust, personalization, and
optimization have been identified. China-based institutions have been determined to be leaders in this field. The study's
literature review reveals the main topics and themes of interest to information systems experts. Based on these findings,
recommendations for future research are offered.
As a result, in this bibliometric analysis study, after considering a comprehensive research perspective related to digital
marketing and artificial intelligence-driven marketing, a total of 60 publications written by 140 authors distributed among 46
journals were identified (2017-2023). In the realm of Digital Marketing and Artificial Intelligence, the articles encompassed in
this exploration most frequently surfaced in "Australasian Marketing Journal," "Industrial Marketing Management," and
"International Journal of Market Research". For researchers who want to study this subject in the future, these resources will
help them determine the most effective resources. Therefore, these sources can be an important reference source for
researchers and can be used as basic sources of information for future studies. On the other hand, Rey Juan Carlos University
(Spain) stands prominent with four published works. Subsequently, establishments like Polytech Porto University (Portugal),
Swansea University (United Kingdom), University of Almeria (Spain), and University of Warsaw (Poland) each boast three

publications. The countries of the corresponding authors were examined, and India took the lead, followed by Spain and the
USA. The countries with the highest citations were Finland (370), Spain (92), and France (58). The highest number of
references were attributed to Huang & Rust (2018), Huang & Rust (2021), and Kannan (2017) within the study encompassed
by this bibliometric analysis. Upon reviewing the articles included in this research, it became evident that terms such as
"artificial intelligence, creativity, analytics, influence, expertise, social networks, extensive data, governance, achieveme nt,
and AI" were employed.
By examining the publications, authors, universities and authors' countries in this study, it may be possible to increase the
level of collaboration between researchers from different countries. In particular, articles with communication authors from
many different countries establish international collaboration and research networks . Therefore, for researchers who will
work by combining digital marketing and artificial intelligence, this study provides general ınformation about the status of
the literature, trends and changes in the field are expressed, and important publications and researchers are ıntroduced.
these gains will benefit researchers in identifying research gaps. Additionally, the countries of study authors working on digital
marketing and artificial intelligence are useful for understanding how a particular topic or fie ld is affected by different
geographical, cultural or social contexts. This allows you to evaluate the generalizations or contextual limitations of resea rch
results. The results obtained emphasize the importance of international cooperation. It would be es pecially appropriate to
have a highly cited country like Finland, and for international researchers working in the field of artificial intelligence a nd
digital marketing to cooperate with this country. Moreover, the results show that countries such as Spai n and France can
innovate and pioneer in a particular field of research. Researchers in these countries can also lead future studies in this f ield.
Digital marketing encompasses marketing activities that aim to reach target audiences, engage with them, and achieve
businesses' goals through digital technologies. Digital marketing offers advantages such as reaching wider audiences,

enables companies to provide customer service more efficiently and increase customer s atisfaction.
In content creation and creative processes, AI will play a significant role and automate content creation processes. AI
algorithms can generate and edit text, videos, or graphics. This can assist marketers in producing content faster and more
efficiently. Digital marketing strategies can be supported by big data analytics and predictive analysis. AI can rapidly analyze
millions of data points and shape future marketing strategies with insights derived from these data. This allows companies to
understand consumer behaviors better and provide more relevant content to their target audiences. AI can assist marketers
in analyzing large datasets and predicting trends. AI algorithms can analyze customer behaviors and market trends to predict
future demands, enabling companies to plan their strategies more effectively.
Through AI-powered automated ad management, AI can facilitate the automatic management and optimization of advertising
campaigns. AI continuously monitors campaign performance and can automatically adjust advertising budgets and targeting
parameters. This can improve advertising efficiency and reduce costs. AI can contribute to developing more targeted and
personalized advertisements in advertising. By analyzing customer data, AI can optimi ze decisions such as which users to
show ads to, which content to use, and which channels to prefer. This can enable more effective utilization of advertising
budgets. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of data and detect patterns indicating fraudulent activities or security
breaches. Marketers can leverage AI to enhance trust and reliability, protect customer data, prevent fraud, and ensure secure
transactions. Future digital marketing trends include AI and machine learning applications, integration w ith voice search and
smart devices, data privacy, and ethical considerations. Businesses need to adapt to these trends and stay updated to remain
competitive. There are numerous benefits for businesses in utilizing AI and digital marketing, including improved customer
experience, more effective marketing strategies, increased efficiency, and competitive advantage. However, there are also
challenges associated with this integration. For instance, AI algorithms must be trained correctly, and issues such as da ta
privacy and ethics should be carefully addressed.
