The name "Ardui no " made its international debut in 2005, marking the age of Arduino as one of the most user-friendly and costeffective microcontroller boards (MCBs) for novices. The science implementation of Arduino boards in automation, networking and data acquisition has been increasing steadily. This study provides a thorough Bibliometric analysis from 1122 papers focused on the Scopus database of published microcontroller research, from the first year the Arduino keyword appeared in 2008 until 2022. Various science articles indexed by Scopus and referring to the use of Arduino MCBs are selected. The Bibliometric analysis explores comprehensive and general key attributes that form a trend from the Scopus articles based on authors, titles, publication years, keywords, citations, affiliations, abstracts, funding information, and languages. The generated data is visualized and analyzed to find patterns that appear within the time span. This study found a significant increase in the number of articles on Arduino boards in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Science, and STEM category of the paper. Despite using only the Scopus database, this study opens up to view the direction of the growing application of Arduino boards in Science. The use of Bibliometric analysis maps thebscientific implementation of Arduino boards as an extensive guide for future collaborations in education and industry.

Abstract


The name "Ardui no " made its international debut in 2005, marking the age of Arduino as one of the most user-friendly and costeffective microcontroller boards (MCBs) for novices. The science implementation of Arduino boards in automation, networking and data acquisition has been increasing steadily. This study provides a thorough Bibliometric analysis from 1122 papers focused on the Scopus database of published microcontroller research, from the first year the Arduino keyword appeared in 2008 until 2022. Various science articles indexed by Scopus and referring to the use of Arduino MCBs are selected. The Bibliometric analysis explores comprehensive and general key attributes that form a trend from the Scopus articles based on authors, titles, publication years, keywords, citations, affiliations, abstracts, funding information, and languages. The generated data is visualized and analyzed to find patterns that appear within the time span. This study found a significant increase in the number of articles on Arduino boards in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Science, and STEM category of the paper. Despite using only the Scopus database, this study opens up to view the direction of the growing application of Arduino boards in Science. The use of Bibliometric analysis maps thebscientific implementation of Arduino boards as an extensive guide for future collaborations in education and industry.
