Following the internet, acceptance research has had a significant impact on smart home technology and has drawn the interest of scientists from a variety of fields. This study intends to investigate the research on acceptance that has been done in the field of smart home technology due to the rising interest of research scholars in the IT industry. In order to find the research trends and themes in this domain, a bibliometric analysis of the metadata was conducted. The study uses the R Package bibliometric to investigate a graphical representation of bibliometric data of acceptance in smart home domain. Thus, it conducted the following analyses: trends in annual publications, most productive authors, most productive nations, most cited papers, frequent journals, most productive affiliations, frequent keywords, and network analysis. According to the findings, research on smart home acceptance began in 1999, grew significantly in 2013, and has since continued to develop. Additionally, it is clear that research on the acceptance in the smart home is rapidly expanding, while it is still in its early stages and is anticipated to increase significantly. Since the data will continue to change and the scope of this study was limited to the Web Of Science database, it may be necessary to repeat it in the future.
