With this, this study aims to develop an m-payment framework and to analyse the evolution of m-payment research from 1997 to 2021. These were achieved by identifying the motor themes, basic and transversal themes, the emerging\/declining themes and the highly developed but isolated themes. In addition, the publication trends of m-payment research were also identified.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>A total of 1,999 articles of m-payment were identified from the Scopus database and 8,125 keywords were grouped into 483 word groups for the co-word analysis. Thematic networks were generated based on density and centrality. Performance analysis was performed on the themes of the four quadrants in the strategic diagrams. The m-payment framework was then developed based on the evolution map and a practical guide was built from the framework.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>The m-payment framework consists of four dimensions, namely behaviour, technology, risk, and context. Some themes were declining while at the same time, m-payment remains strongly relevant and can stand the test of time. Several new themes have emerged in the 2013\u20132021 sub-periods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>This study is limited in that the study only investigates from the context of m-payment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Practical implications<\/jats:title>This study has provided a research framework (i.e. the m-payment framework) with a practical guide for scholars and practitioners to refer to, thus enabling them to embark on future studies without any hassle. The m-payment framework was developed based on empirical data using science mapping analysis of 1,999 articles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Social implications<\/jats:title>The proposed m-payment research framework contributes towards more understanding of m-payment ten, usage amongst consumers and thus will help to reduce the rate of COVID-19 infection because m-payment is a contactless payment. Hence, the study may help in creating a safer and healthier society amid the unprecedented pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>This study developed the m-payment framework based on empirical co-word analysis. A\u00a0practical guide to extending the framework is also provided to guide the scholars and practitioners. Moreover, the evolution map for m-payment was created to understand the evolution of m-payment research. Practitioners may conduct market studies to unveil the factors that contribute to consumers' behaviours in m-payment in order to gain more understanding of the reasons behind their behaviours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/intr-06-2021-0348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]],"date-time":"2022-05-01T22:25:37Z","timestamp":1651443937000},"page":"1757-1782","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["The
