The study aims to find out the trends in publications and citations, prominent countries, affiliations and the status of authors, the prominent topics, and the thematic characteristics of these topics, as well as research interests and trends. The results show that the articles are grouped under the 21 topics. The top five most studied of them have been determined as "Technology acceptance", "Social networkbased learning", "Teacher education", "Satisfaction of e-learning" and "E-learning". Finally, the acceleration results of each topic within itself and compared to other topics show that the most accelerated topic is "Gamification", while the most accelerated topic compared to other topics has been determined as "Technology acceptance".
