The present bibliometric study was employed to identify and synthesize the results from studies exploring domains of interactive mobile technology used in applied psychology and counseling, supporting health professionals, manag- ing­mental­and­physical­health,­humanizing­technology­and­improving­its­effi- ciency­in­the­business­field,­as­well­as­in­the­social­field­including­vocational­ education, safeguarding, communities and ethnic minorities. An author analyzed the­papers­published­in­highly­ranked­and­cited­­journals­which­were­indexed­ and­ranked­in­the­Web­of­Science­Core­Collection­and­Scopus,­in­the­period­of­ 2020 to 2021. The results demonstrated high interest in studied domains within various­subjects­and­fields­of­study,­demonstrating­the­interest­in­the­opportu- nities which provide the technology for professional education and developing methodological competences.

The technology ­utilized­as­a­supportive­tool­in­intervention­programs­allows­it­to­reach­more­efficient­ outcomes. Technology supports professionals and practitioners in improving the well- being,­­managing­mental­and­physical­illnesses,­adopting­new­knowledge­and­skills­or­ protecting from possible negative impacts. The­objective­of­this­work­is­to­present­a­bibliometric­analysis­of­all­the­scientific­ articles­published­by­the­journals­which­were­indexed­and­ranked­in­the­Web­of­Science­ Core­Collection­and­Scopus,­during­the­period­of­2020­to­2021­and­available­in­Cross- ref,­Microsoft­Academic,­PubMed,­PubMed­Central,­Core­databases.­The­structure­of­ this study allowed me to explore and identify the main research domains of “Psycho- logical­Social­Medical­Business­Interventions”­in­relation­with­“Interactive­Mobile­ Technologies” concerning “mental and physical health”. Therefore, research questions have­been­formed­to­understand­and­find­out­the­outputs­in­publication­patterns­accord- ing to the database results. According­to­the­obtained­results,­in­total­174­studies­have­been­published­during­ the­period­of­2020–2021­years,­showing­high­interest­in­the­analyzed­subject.­The­bib- liometric research outcome would clearly state that the number of articles published in the research topic has increased during the period of June and July 2020 and sharply decreased in September 2020. Psychology, Psychological interventions, Medicine, and Sociology­are­considered­as­the­most­interesting­fields­in­exploring­technology­usage­ in­professional­education­fields.­The­United­Kingdom­is­a­leading­country­in­discover- ing the relationship between technology usage and interventions in the health system (40­papers­out­of­174).­The­Emerald,­National­Institute­for­Health­Research,­BioMed­ Central­and­Sage­Publications­are­the­top­four­publishers­supporting­the­domain­of­ technology usage in various domains. Concerning­the­limitations­of­this­study,­our­bibliometric­search­strategy­was­broad­ so that the further analysis might be focused on the cross-sectional association between various variables including professional education, personality, and social impact. With­regard­to­the­limitations­of­this­study,­the­bibliometric­search­strategy­was­broad,­ however, further analysis will follow in a more deep complex manner such as content analysis,­co-word,­citation,­co-citation,­and­network­analysis.­In­addition,­conducting­ analysis­within­a­longer­period­of­time­might­be­a­significant­factor­influencing­the­ result.­Our­study­indicates­the­importance­of­conducting­more­studies­exploring­the­ feasibility of using technology to improve the subjective and psychological well-being. In­this­study,­it­has­been­taken­as­an­essential­step­in­examining­the­scientific­publica- tion patterns for the technology usage for psychological, social, medical and business interventions for mental and physical health between 2020 and 2021. Presented results attempted­to­analyze­and­synthesize­available­studies­in­the­mentioned­field­to­establish­ a holistic understanding of interrelations between indicated constructs. An analysis of trends and patterns of existing publications within chosen domains will allow researchers and practitioners to be aware of the most actual existing need in gaining and applying data in practice. The results obtained in our study also emphasize iJIM ‒ Vol. 15, No. 21, 2021 17 Paper—Scientific Publication Patterns of Interactive Mobile Technologies for Psychological, Social,… the­need­for­more­studies­on­the­efficiency­of­using­technology­as­a­supportive­tool,­as­ well as increase awareness of these interventions among them. This article is relevant for­practitioners­and­researchers­working­in­different­fields,­as­well­as­for­those­who­ work­and­contribute­to­the­field­of­information­studies,­business,­psychology­and­inter- disciplinary studies. 6 References ­ [1]­Uslu,­A.­S.,­Gerber,­S.­M.,­Schmidt,­N.,­Röthlisberger,­C.,­Wyss,­P.,­Vanbellingen,­T.,­&­ Urwyler, P.
