The study uses data from Scopus and Web of Science to identify growth patterns, significant institutions, and leading countries in this discipline.  The findings show a substantial growth in publications after 2022, with a significant concentration of research efforts in select journals and institutes.  The analysis also emphasizes the importance of important phrases like “metaverse,” “virtual reality,” and “digital libraries” and provides insights into worldwide collaborative networks.  This study intends to influence future research and inform the growth of virtual libraries.
