Over the past few decades, educational technology adoption has changed the lives of educators and learners. The present study unveils the current status of educational technology adoption using a bibliometric analysis of the publications retrieved from the two well-known databases, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) using the R bibliometric package ‘bibliomatrix()’. A step-by-step process is followed to retrieve the published literature on technology adoption in higher education, viz. retrieving and shortlisting applicable articles based on well-known keywords, applying filters to extract only relevant articles, and selecting bibliometric and network mapping tools for analysis. The findings provide a deeper insight into the trends, techniques, and methodologies considered for educational technology adoption, highlighting the significance of ongoing research and development in the area. The findings stress the requirement for infrastructure support provided by the institution in addressing technology adoption concerns, especially in India.
