Abstract

Almost 81102 papers in the field of cloud computing technologies were examined for this study between 2011 and 2020. The year 2019 saw the highest number of articles published, 11201 (13.81%). China has contributed the most articles, accounting for over 21905 (32.98%) of all publications, with the authors of Buyya, R contributing the most with 297 (21.55%) research publications. The high citation count is 96560 (11.96%), cited with 6845 (11.99%) research publications, and uncited with 2028 (8.44%) research publications. There is an average of 0.90 cooperation. The average collaboration coefficient is 0.60. The average value of the collaboration index is 3.27. 3.27 is the average Modified Collaboration Coefficient.1248 (17.23%) publications were published by the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Research Institute’s institutions alone. The authorship pattern shows that single writers have contributed to a maximum of 8079 research papers. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Including Subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics, contain a maximum of 3718 (30.35%) research publications published in the journals. the format of research articles in Conference Papers 48030 (59.22%). approximately equal to 14610 in 2025 and approximately equal to 17860 in 2030. At that point, thorough investigation proved that there is a growing tendency in the articles on cloud computing technology study. Internet of Things (IoT): A vision, architectural aspects, and future directions, Future Generation Computer Systems, 29(7): 1645–1660, is a widely cited publication in 6316 by Gubbi, J., and et al. (2013).
