In our digital world, due to the evolution of technology, people can purchase with ease the desired products, regardless of time and place, directly from their personal devices. This has led to a considerable improvement in users\u2019 experiences, saving both time and money and avoiding stores\u2019 congestions. At the same time, the emerging technologies, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and blockchain, registered a substantial contribution to optimizing e-commerce platforms by enhancing the efficiency of the processes, better understanding users\u2019 needs, and offering personalized solutions. Therefore, the present bibliometric investigation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research domain-electronic commerce exploration using emerging technologies. Based on a dataset collected from the Web of Science database, the study reveals key details of the field, research characteristics, main themes, and current trends. Within the analysis, the R-tool\u2014Biblioshiny 4.2.1\u2014has been used for the creation of tables, graphs, and visual representations. The high importance of the domain, together with the significant interest within academics in publishing papers around this area, is validated by the value obtained for the annual growth rate, more specifically 44.65%, as well as by the cross-validation analyses performed in VOSviewer 1.6.20 and CiteSpace 6.3.R1, along with topic analysis performed through Latent Dirichlet Allocation and BERTopic. The results of this research represent precious information for the scientific community, authorities, and even companies that are oriented to e-commerce platforms, since crucial details about the market trends, domain\u2019s impact, and key contributions are exposed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer20040320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]],"date-time":"2025-11-11T10:56:27Z","timestamp":1762858587000},"page":"320","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["E-Commerce Meets Emerging Technologies: An Overview of Research Characteristics, Themes, and Trends"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Andra","family":"Sandu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economic Informatics and Cybernetics, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010552 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4192-183X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liviu-Adrian","family":"Cotfas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economic Informatics and Cybernetics, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010552 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Corina","family":"Ioan\u0103\u0219","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Accounting and Audit, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010552 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irina-Daniela","family":"Ci\u0219ma\u0219u","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Financial and Economic Analysis and Valuation, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010552 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3589-1969","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camelia","family":"Delcea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economic Informatics and Cybernetics, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010552 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.33021\/firm.v6i2.1555","article-title":"The Effect of Online Consumer Interaction and Shopping Motivation on Purchase Intention","volume":"6","author":"Kusumawardani","year":"2021","journal-title":"FIRM J.
