Abstract
The rapid development of research in android technology has led to a tremendous number of publications containing the achieved knowledge of this area of research. Mapping of science has a long tradition in many fields in evaluating and analyzing the growth of technology and we find a lack of comprehensive bibliometric study in the area of android. In this article, we provide extensive insights into basic publication output patterns, research productivity and growth rate, research impact, year-wise distribution of publications, collaborative patterns for author and institutes, highly preferred journals, highly impact factored journals, citation patterns etc. during 2005-2014. Furthermore, we analyzed the keywords evolution for every two year interval during this period. The results of the present study provides a better insight of previous trends, patterns and other pivotal factors which acts as a platform for collaborating research culture and knowledge sharing in the field of android.
