See the authors' detailed response to the review by Ravi Shankar Rai READ REVIEWER RESPONSES Introduction Over the years, there has been a growing interest in the application of machine learning to marketing. Machine learning, which refers to the use of algorithms that can learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed, has the potential to transform the way marketing is done by allowing marketers to analyze vast amounts of data and gain insights that were previously impossible. The combination of machine learning and marketing has led to the development of new tools and techniques for predicting consumer behavior, identifying customer segments, and optimizing marketing campaigns. One of the areas where machine learning has shown great promise is in understanding consumer behavior on digital marketing platforms. In addition, machine learning can be used to analyze data from digital marketing platforms to understand consumer behavior and identify factors that contribute to consumer loyalty ( Sriram et al., 2022 ). This can help marketers develop more targeted marketing campaigns and improve customer retention. The use of machine learning in the financial sector is growing. Machine learning has the potential to improve financial decision making by analyzing large amounts of data and identifying patterns that can be used to make more accurate predictions. Ahmed et al. (2022) conducted a bibliometric review of articles on artificial intelligence and machine learning in finance and found that there has been a significant increase in research in this area in recent years. Machine learning can also be used to improve the performance of marketing campaigns. Langen and Huber (2023) used causal machine learning to evaluate and improve the performance of a coupon campaign. They found that the use of causal machine learning can lead to significant improvements in campaign performance by identifying causal relationships between marketing activities and outcomes. In addition, machine learning can be used to assess marketing behavior and identify factors that contribute to brand equity. Using machine learning to perform meta-customer mix brand equity analysis can help marketers identify factors that contribute to brand equity and optimize their marketing efforts accordingly ( Xu et al., 2022 ). The use of machine learning in marketing is a topic of growing interest today. This is because the combination of machine learning and marketing has the potential to transform the way marketing strategies are implemented by enabling the analysis of large amounts of data and providing valuable information for decision making ( Ullal et al., 2021 ). Furthermore, Dai and Wang (2021) point out that machine learning can be used to predict customer response to marketing publications, allowing for better customer segmentation and personalization of marketing strategies. However, the application of machine learning in marketing also poses significant challenges, including the need to ensure the quality of data and the correctness of causal inferences ( Hair & Sarstedt, 2021 ). This includes the proper selection of variables and the understanding of the underlying causal effects; in this sense, the use of appropriate measurement and analysis techniques is essential. On the other hand, the integration of machine learning and marketing also has ethical and privacy implications that must be carefully considered; it is important to ensure transparency and control over the data and information used in machine learning processes ( Ma & Sun, 2020 ). Likewise, it is necessary to consider the potential impact of these technologies on society and consumer decision-making. The use of machine learning in the field of marketing has shown a significant increase, but there are still some important gaps in the research. Currently, more research is needed to explore the impact of big data and machine learning on the digital transformation of marketing ( Miklosik & Evans, 2020 ). In addition, it is necessary to identify more accurate machine learning techniques for the classification of targeted advertising ( Choi & Lim, 2020 ). Finally, it is necessary to explore how machine learning can aid behavioral marketing research ( Hagen et al., 2020 ), although more research is needed that specifically examines this topic. In general, conducting a bibliometric on the use of machine learning in marketing would make it possible to identify the main research gaps and the areas that require more attention to help researchers better focus their efforts on developing new studies and analysis techniques. Therefore, the objective is to examine the research trends in the use of machine learning in marketing, allowing the construction of a research agenda focused on the materialization of future research, for which the following research questions are asked: - What are the years when there has been more interest in the use of machine learning in marketing? - How is the number of scientific articles on the use of machine learning in marketing growing? - What are the main research references on the use of machine learning in marketing? - What is the thematic evolution derived from the scientific production on the use of machine learning in marketing? - What are the main thematic clusters on the use of machine learning in marketing? - What are the growing and emerging keywords in the research field of the use of machine learning in marketing? - Which topics are positioned as protagonists for the design of a research agenda on the use of machine learning in marketing? This research has an introductory section that allows the analysis of the definition, importance and problems related to the use of machine learning in marketing. Next, there is the methodology that defines the parameters with which the bibliometric analysis of this research will be developed, then there are the results associated with the present study, the discussion that raises the existing gaps in the research and the design of the research agenda; finally, the conclusions related to the main aspects of this study are found. Methods Based on the proposed research objective, it is proposed to carry out a bibliometric analysis as an exploratory methodology that will facilitate the evaluation of the scientific activity currently available ( Vera et al., 2022 ). It is important to emphasize that, in order to create clear and replicable methodologies, this research complies with the parameters established by the international PRISMA declaration in its version 2020, which defines the eligibility criteria, information sources, search strategy and data management, which are extremely important resources for the correct development of the methodological design, as has been demonstrated ( Page et al., 2021 ). Eligibility criteria According to the PRISMA 2020 statement, the eligibility criteria are divided into: inclusion and exclusion criteria. For the inclusion criteria, it is important that both the title and the keywords contain the terms marketing and machine learning (automatic learning) or their synonyms, as this makes it easier to obtain documents that contain relevant information for this study. The exclusion criteria are divided into three consecutive phases of document elimination, following the recommendations of the PRISMA 2020 statement. First, after reading the titles of the documents, all those documents with incorrect indexing are discarded, then those documents that prevent access to the full texts are excluded, although this does not apply to the bibliometric analysis, since it only analyzes metadata such as titles and keywords. Finally, documents that are the result of conference proceedings are eliminated, as well as documents that contain irrelevant information that delays the analyses that allow the objective of the study to be achieved. Sources of information Web of Science and Scopus were selected as secondary information sources for the search of relevant documents for this study; both databases are frequently used by researchers from different countries, which makes them leading databases for information search ( Zhu & Liu, 2020 ). Search strategy In order to guarantee an effective document search, this study follows the recommendations of PRISMA 2020, which specifies the importance of developing an adequate search method depending on the information source to be used; based on the above, two similar search equations were designed, slightly different to adapt to the needs of each of the databases. In this sense, the following search equations are available: For the Scopus database : ( TITLE ( ( marketing OR advertising ) AND “ machine learning ” ) ) For the Web of Science database : ( TI = ( ( “ marketing ” OR “ advertising ” ) AND “ machine learning ” ) ) ) Data management After the implementation of the search strategy, a total of 180 documents related to the use of machine learning in marketing were obtained, ranging from the year 2006 to the present year 2023, of which 122 belong to Scopus and 58 to Web of Science; these documents were stored and processed with the help of the tool Microsoft Excel ® , where the three phases of elimination previously defined were applied, where 122 articles were obtained to be analyzed in detail, in addition, with the help of the free software VOSviewer ( Van Eck and Waltman, 2011 ), the indicator graphs were created. bibliometric, which will facilitate the data analysis. Selection process According to the PRISMA 2020 statement, as mentioned in Page et al. (2021) , it is essential to include information on the use of an internal automatic classifier to assist in the selection process, as well as internal or external validation to assess the risk of lost studies or incorrect classifications. In this study, Microsoft Excel ® automation tools were used as an internal resource; these tools were developed by all participating researchers, who in turn used them independently during the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria; in this way, the risk of missing studies or incorrect classifications was minimized through the convergence of the results obtained. Data collection process The present bibliometrics was carried out to analyze the applications of machine learning in the field of marketing. Following the guidelines proposed by Page et al. (2021) , the methods used to collect the data from the selected reports were specified, in this sense, Microsoft Excel ® was used as an automated tool for the data collection process from the two selected databases, all the authors of the study performed the role of independent reviewers, participating in the validation of the data, to guarantee the precision and reliability of the results, a process of confirmation of the data was carried out collectively, in which an absolute convergence of the results was sought. results obtained. Data elements Two main approaches were used in this study: Firstly, an exhaustive search was carried out in different databases, using specific search equations designed for each one; this implied the inclusion of all articles that specifically mentioned Machine Learning applications in marketing, covering different measures, time points and analyses related to the topic; secondly, the relevance of the results obtained was taken into account, excluding those texts that presented missing or unclear information, since these do not contribute to an adequate understanding of the knowledge base on the subject of the study; in this way, the aim was to ensure consistency and coherence with the objectives and scope of the investigation. Assessment of the risk of bias of the study This review required a rigorous assessment of the risk of bias in the included studies, which included specification of the methods used, including details of the tools used, the number of reviewers involved and whether they worked independently, as well as information on the automation tools used in the process. In this particular study, the data collection process was carried out by all the authors of the research, following the same methodology, and the risk of bias assessment was also carried out using an automated tool in Microsoft Excel ® , this approach was chosen to ensure the quality and integrity of the results obtained, the automated Microsoft Excel ® tool was used consistently by all the authors, which ensured a consistent and objective assessment of the studies included in the bibliometrics. This methodological approach was based on the use of standardized and widely accepted risk of bias assessment tools in the scientific community. In addition, the use of an automated tool allows a more efficient and consistent assessment of a large number of studies, which contributes to the objectivity and robustness of the bibliometric results. Effect measures The present investigation focused on carrying out a bibliometric on the applications of machine learning in the field of marketing, as part of this analysis, the measure of effect used in the synthesis or presentation of the results is specified for each result, it is important It should be noted that effect measures, such as the risk ratio or the difference in means, are more common in primary research, however, in this study based on secondary research sources, alternative measures were used, the number of publications and the number of citations related to the subject were analyzed. To carry out these analyses, Microsoft Excel ® was used, as well as VOSviewer ® to determine the thematic association between the existing nodes in the field of study. Synthesis methods Within the framework of this research on the applications of machine learning in the field of marketing, different processes were carried out for the selection of eligible studies, the preparation of the data and the presentation of the results. To determine the studies included in the synthesis, predefined criteria were applied, such as the comparison of the characteristics of the intervention of each study with the groups planned for each synthesis, In the same way, methods were used for the preparation of the data, such as the management of statistics, missing abstracts and data conversions, thus ensuring the consistency and reliability of the results obtained, methods were also used to tabulate and visualize the results of individual studies and syntheses, allowing a clear and concise understanding of the results. In this research, bibliometric indicators of quantity, quality and structure were carried out, following the approach described by Durieux and Gevenois (2010) , it should be noted that these indicators were automatically applied using Microsoft Excel ® to all those documents that passed the three phases of exclusion. Assessment of reporting bias In the bibliometric context of the applications of machine learning in marketing, the assessment of the risk of bias due to the lack of results in a synthesis (derived from reporting bias) implies considering any method used for this purpose, for which it is important to note that there may be a bias towards certain synonyms found in thesauri such as the IEEE, which may influence the inclusion criteria, the search strategy and the data collection, as well as the exclusion of irrelevant documents as exclusion criteria. There is a risk of omitting valuable information that could contribute to knowledge building on the topic in question. Assessment of certainty In this study, the certainty of the body of evidence has been evaluated in a general way, in contrast to the primary studies that evaluate the certainty individually, the evaluation has been carried out through the independent application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as in the definition of bibliometric indicators, likewise, the reporting of possible biases defined in the methodological design has been taken into account, and the limitations of the study are mentioned in the discussion phase, these approaches allow a more complete evaluation of the certainty in the body of evidence, providing a comprehensive perspective of the results obtained in the applications of Machine Learning in Marketing. Results In this phase of the study, the results are presented according to the objective and the research questions, the bibliometric aspects related to Machine Learning in Marketing are detailed, and the elements related to research trends are examined, considering the type of growth. which presents the number of scientific articles related to the subject of study, the years of most interest on the part of the scientific community and the main research references. In accordance with the above, Figure 1 shows a notorious exponential growth of 95. 41% in the publication of scientific articles on the applications of Machine Learning in marketing, it is observed that the most outstanding years in terms of the production of investigations on this subject were 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the results reflect a sustained and accelerated increase in interest and research in this field in recent years, proving the growing recognition of the importance and potential of Machine Learning in the field of marketing, these results are particularly relevant considering an observation window that covers from 2006 to 2023, since they indicate a marked upward trend in the generation of scientific knowledge in this field during this period. Figure 1. PRISMA flow chart. With respect to studies on machine learning applications in marketing, Figure 2 shows three groups of prominent authors: First, there are Miklosik and Evans, who stand out for both their high scientific productivity and their impact on the academic community; second, there is the group of authors led by Sun, Ma, Wong, Lui, and Cui, who stand out mainly for the impact of their research, despite having a low index of scientific productivity; finally, the group of authors led by Zang and Wang is identified, who stand out for their high scientific productivity, although their number of citations is not so significant. These results highlight the diversity of approaches and results in the field of machine learning applications in marketing, where different authors stand out for their productivity, impact, or a combination of both. Figure 2. Publications per year. With regard to the most important journals, Figure 3 is sectorized by points; the yellow ones are the most referenced, since they are among those that publish the most and have been cited the most; the blue ones, which are impact journals, do not publish much but are the most cited; and the green ones correspond to the most productive journals, although they have not been cited much, are those that are most interested in the subject or tend to publish the most on it. Consequently, three groups of outstanding scientific journals have been identified: The first group is characterized by high productivity and impact, and includes journals such as IEEE Access and Journal of Business Research; the second group, although it has a low index of scientific productivity, stands out for its impact, and includes journals such as the International Journal of Research in Marketing and Management Science; finally, the third group, which is characterized by its scientific productivity and not so much by the number of citations, is mainly led by the ACM International Conference Proceeding Series. These results highlight the diversity of approaches and the strengths of the most relevant scientific journals in the field of machine learning applications in marketing. Figure 3. Main authors. In the field of machine learning applications in marketing, Figure 4 shows the most outstanding countries in terms of the topic, listing the most impactful, productive and relevant countries. They stand out in terms of both the number of publications and the number of citations. In this sense, three groups of outstanding countries are identified: Firstly, there are those that stand out both in terms of scientific productivity and impact, with the United States being the main reference in this group; secondly, there are countries that stand out in terms of impact despite having a low index of scientific productivity, with the participation of authors from Hong Kong standing out; finally, a group of countries is identified that stand out mainly for their scientific productivity and not so much for the number of citations received, with India and China being highlighted in particular. These results show the diversity of approaches and strengths in research on the applications of machine learning in marketing at a global level. Figure 4. Main journals. Once the results in terms of scientific production have been analyzed, the thematic elements are considered, tracking the activity related to the main ideas, such as research trends and the most relevant words. Figure 5 shows an analysis of the evolution of the literature between 2006 and 2023, it was observed that in 2006, as the first year of analysis, relevant concepts such as Evolutionary Programming emerged, likewise in recent years shows a notable predominance of topics such as Neural Networks, Big Data and Digital Marketing, reflecting current research trends in this area. Figure 5. Main countries. Figure 6 describes the association between concepts based on thematic clusters of different colors, highlighting the most relevant ones and the words related to each one, giving rise to new investigations based on them. The main keyword co-occurrence network is presented organized in 6 thematic clusters, the light blue cluster stands out as the most prominent, composed of terms such as “digital marketing”, “interpretation”, “prediction” and “healthcare”, followed by the dark blue cluster, which includes terms such as “big data”, “artificial intelligence”, “marketing strategy”, “social media” and “customer churn”, in addition to other clusters of red, purple, yellow and green, which reveal additional elements of conceptual affinity in the field studied. Figure 6. Thematic evolution. The present investigation proposes in Figure 7 , an approach based on a Cartesian plane that allows analyzing the relationship between the frequency of use of keywords on the X-axis and the validity of their use on the Y-axis, which provides a clear vision. and structured analysis of bibliometric data in the field of machine learning applications in marketing. Figure 7. Keyword co-ocurrence network. This approach allows us to identify four different quadrants in the plan: In quadrant 2, there are keywords that are rare but highly topical, which makes them emergent and relevant in the current context; some examples of these keywords are “Healthcare”, “Systematic Literature Review”, “Algorithm”, “Automatic Assistance” and “Consumer Segmentation”; on the other hand, consolidated and growing concepts, such as “Digital Marketing”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Big Data”, are located in quadrant 1; It is important to point out that there is a fourth quadrant where the declining concepts are located, that is, those keywords that do not show evidence of use in the scientific literature studied, and a third quadrant that houses the concepts that are not fully consolidated in the field. Discussion The discussion section of the results is presented in which it is proposed, in principle, an analysis of the main results in terms of the annual scientific production, the main research references, the thematic evolution, the thematic clusters and the observation of frequency and validity. of keywords, Next, the classification of the most significant keywords according to their function is proposed, the practical implications, limitations and identified research gaps are considered; Finally, the future research agenda on the use of Machine Learning in marketing is postulated. Analysis of the growth of scientific literature on the use of machine learning in marketing As can be seen in Figure 2 , research on the use of Machine Learning in marketing has been conducted between 2006 and 2023, revealing its importance in the number of investigations in each mentioned period. The year 2020 witnessed a significant increase in research on the use of machine learning in the field of marketing. In the same year, an investigation titled “Machine Learning in Marketing: Overview, Learning Strategies, Applications and Future Developments”, which provided a comprehensive overview of the topic, examining various learning strategies and relevant practical applications ( Brei, 2020 ); highlighting the ability of machine learning to optimize and personalize marketing strategies, covering areas such as market segmentation, consumer behavior prediction, product recommendation, sentiment analysis, and customer experience management. In addition, new machine learning approaches and techniques, such as deep learning and reinforcement learning, have been explored to further improve the accuracy and effectiveness of marketing predictions and recommendations. In 2021, outstanding research was conducted on the use of machine learning in marketing. In one of these investigations, a machine learning-based framework was developed using post-marketing surveillance data to predict the outcomes of a therapy in patients with gynecological cancer, so that by targeting target patients, it could increase its efficacy and safety ( Liu et al., 2021 ), highlighting the application of machine learning in predicting therapeutic outcomes in the field of medical care. On the other hand, the study “Complexity construction of intelligent marketing strategy based on mobile computing and machine learning simulation environment” has an approach based on mobile computing and machine learning simulation to build intelligent marketing strategies in a complex environment ( Mao & Huang, 2021 ). This research highlights the importance of machine learning in building adaptive and sophisticated marketing strategies. The research conducted in 2022 was important, including a comparative study titled “The derived demand for advertising expenses and implications on sustainability: A comparative study using deep learning and traditional machine learning methods”, in which traditional machine learning and deep learning methods were used to analyze the derived demand for advertising expenses and its implications on sustainability ( Birim et al., 2022 ). This study highlights the application of machine learning in understanding the dynamics of demand and its relationship with sustainability in the context of advertising. In addition, another study conducted an analysis to understand the role of Machine Learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence in digital marketing, highlighting the importance of these emerging technologies in optimizing digital marketing strategies ( Boddu et al., 2022 ). In 2023, a study was conducted on consumer behavior in digital marketing platforms, especially in terms of consumer loyalty using machine learning, which highlights the application of machine learning in the study of consumer behavior and its relationship with loyalty in the context of digital marketing platforms, also highlighting the importance of using machine learning techniques to better understand consumer preferences and behavior in digital environments, which can help improve marketing strategies. marketing and customer loyalty ( Sriram et al., 2022 ). This is one of the most outstanding investigations on the use of machine learning in the field of marketing for this year. Analysis of research references on the use of machine learning in marketing As shown in Figure 3 , the authors Miklosik A and Evans N stand out as recognized benchmarks in terms of both scientific productivity and academic impact, as both have a high number of publications and have made significant contributions to the field. In a joint publication, they analyzed the impact of big data and machine learning on digital transformation in marketing ( Miklosik & Evans, 2020 ), providing a comprehensive view of the implications and applications of these technologies, offering valuable insights for researchers and marketing professionals. Among the authors who, although they are not considered benchmarks in terms of scientific productivity because they have fewer publications, the authors Sun B, Ma L, Wong ML, Lui H-K and Cui G, are authors who have left a significant mark in the field of the use of machine learning in marketing thanks to the academic impact they have generated through their research, among the contributions is a research that addresses the connection between computational power and human knowledge in the field of marketing, providing a valuable perspective on how machine learning and artificial intelligence can improve marketing strategies ( Ma & Sun, 2020 ). On the other hand, the publication “Machine learning for direct marketing response models: Bayesian networks with evolutionary programming” was based on the development of direct marketing response using machine learning, emphasizing the importance of these techniques in analyzing consumer response ( Cui et al., 2006 ). Although Wang is not considered a benchmark in terms of scientific impact due to his lower number of citations, he has managed to stand out as a benchmark in terms of scientific productivity due to his large number of publications, his contributions in the field of the use of Machine Learning in marketing have been valuable, they have addressed relevant issues, and in addition, they provide new perspectives for the academic community and professionals in the sector. In the study “Evaluating the effectiveness of marketing campaigns for malls using a novel interpretable machine learning model”, he studies the evaluation of the effectiveness of marketing campaigns in shopping malls using an interpretable machine learning model ( Wang et al., 2022 ), providing an important analytical tool for marketers. In addition, his research on predicting customer engagement behavior in response to marketing posts using machine learning techniques ( Dai & Wang, 2021 ) provides valuable insights for understanding and improving the interaction between brands and consumers in the digital environment. Similarly, in this study, an analysis of the main scientific journals in the field of study was carried out with the aim of identifying the most outstanding research references. In addition, aspects related to productivity and scientific impact are evaluated, as shown in Figure 4 . The journals IEEE Access and Journal of Business Research are recognized as outstanding leaders in terms of scientific production and academic impact in the field of machine learning applications in marketing. IEEE Access has published a study that focuses on segmentation and marketing strategies driven by machine learning in the context of online charitable giving in Taiwan ( Hsu et al., 2021 ). They also conduct a review of existing literature in the area of machine learning and marketing. These studies demonstrate the impact and importance of IEEE Access in the generation of knowledge in the field, underscoring its relevance ( Duarte et al., 2022 ). In addition, the Journal of Business Research has played a pivotal role in providing valuable contributions to the field of marketing and machine learning; its publications examine the drivers, barriers, and future advancements of artificial intelligence and machine learning in management. of marketing, providing a comprehensive vision of this topic ( Volkmar et al., 2022 ). It also describes the creation of a real-time repository in the KNIME Hub for marketing applications using machine learning techniques. These articles show how the Journal of Business Research has had a significant impact and a notable influence on the dissemination of knowledge and the implementation of machine learning techniques in the field of marketing ( Ordenes & Silipo, 2021 ). Although the International Journal of Research in Marketing and Management Science do not stand out for their scientific productivity in terms of the number of publications, they are widely recognized as leading academic journals due to the significant impact of their articles, as evidenced by the high number of citations received. The Orders study in the International Journal of Research in Marketing presents the development of a live repository for machine learning-based marketing applications at the KNIME Hub. This study demonstrates the importance and academic impact of the journal in the dissemination of knowledge and implementation of machine learning techniques in the field of marketing ( Ordenes & Silipo, 2021 ). On the other hand, Management Science presents a study on the use of Bayesian networks combined with evolutionary programming based on machine learning to develop direct marketing response models ( Cui, Wong & Lui, 2006 ). This study highlights the relevance and impact of management science in the production of knowledge in the field of machine learning applied to marketing, as well as its academic influence in the scientific community. Although the journal ACM International Conference Proceeding Series is not characterized by a high scientific impact in terms of citations, its scientific productivity is recognized due to the considerable number of publications that address the field of machine learning applied to marketing. The paper presented at the 4th International Conference on Smart City Applications examines the relevance of data-driven marketing and how machine learning can enhance the decision-making of marketers ( Abakouy et al., 2019 ). In addition, the paper presented in the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Information Management and Management Science, examines the relationship between vehicle registration data and vehicle marketing parameters by applying clustering techniques and machine learning based on IN rules ( Dahl et al., 2020 ). This study shows the importance and impact of the ACM International Conference Proceeding Series journals in generating knowledge in the field of marketing, especially regarding the application of machine learning. On the other hand, this bibliometric analysis examines the main international references in the scientific production of the use of machine learning in marketing (see Figure 5 ). Among these references, the United States stands out in terms of both scientific productivity and academic impact, due to the high number of publications and citations generated in this field. An important study in this context presents a conceptual framework and sets a research agenda to understand the application of machine learning in the field of marketing ( Ngai & Wu, 2022 ), this contribution represents a milestone in current knowledge and sets future directions. of research in this area. In addition, another article addresses the issue of algorithmic bias in marketing models based on Machine Learning, highlighting the importance of considering and addressing the biases inherent in these models ( Akter et al., 2022 ). This research strengthens the position of the United States as a generator of critical knowledge for the ethical and effective development of Machine Learning applications in the field of marketing. Although Hong Kong is not recognized as a benchmark in terms of scholarly productivity in the use of machine learning in marketing, it stands out as one of the main benchmarks in terms of scholarly impact due to the high number of citations. A prominent example of Hong Kong’s contribution in this area is a study exploring the use of Bayesian networks with evolutionary programming to develop direct marketing response models using machine learning techniques ( Cui, Wong & Lui, 2006 ); this research has been widely cited and has generated significant impact in the field, which positions Hong Kong as a benchmark in the application of machine learning in marketing strategies; Although the number of publications in Hong Kong may be lower compared to other places, the quality and relevance of the research conducted demonstrates its academic impact and contribution to the advancement of knowledge on the use of machine learning in marketing. Despite the fact that India and China are not recognized as benchmarks in terms of scholarly impact due to a relatively low number of citations, they stand out as key benchmarks in terms of scholarly productivity in the use of machine learning in marketing due to their high number of publications. A prominent example of India’s contribution is a study in the journal Marketing Intelligence & Planning, in which the authors explore the evolution of research in the field of relationship marketing from a machine learning perspective ( Das et al., 2022 ). This publication contributes to the existing body of knowledge and strengthens India’s scientific productivity in the field of machine learning applied to marketing. In the case of China, we found a work in the journal Scientific Programming, in said study, the authors develop a luxury marketing model based on machine learning classification algorithms ( Chen et al., 2021 ), although the study has not received a high number of citations, demonstrates China’s contribution in the field of machine learning applied to marketing strategies and reinforces its scientific productivity in this area. Analysis of the thematic evolution of the use of machine learning in marketing In the analysis of the thematic and conceptual evolution in the scientific literature on the use of machine learning in marketing, outstanding concepts were identified in different years, as shown in Figure 6 . In 2006, the most studied approach was “Evolutionary Programming”, as a relevant example of contribution in that year is the work where the authors presented an intelligent approach to heart disease diagnosis using Machine Learning and Springleaf’s marketing response ( Dangi, Choudhury & Kumar, 2016 ). Subsequently, in 2020, the most relevant concept was “big data”, which received considerable attention in the scientific literature. An outstanding study proposed an effective determination of marketing strategies based on customer segmentation using machine learning techniques ( Purnomo, Azzam & Khasanah, 2020 ). In addition, an approach based on machine learning to improve marketing in social networks was presented ( Arasu, Seelan & Thamaraiselvan, 2020 ). In the years 2021, 2022 and 2023, the leading concept was “digital marketing”, which has been widely explored in the recent scientific literature. Notable examples include the evaluation of machine learning algorithms for marketing data analysis to predict grocery store sales ( Gopagoni, Lakshmi, & Chaudhary, 2020 ). Research on the application of artificial intelligence and neural networks in advertising and media has also been presented ( Bara et al., 2022 ). It also compared content marketing strategies of digital brands using machine learning ( Chen, 2023 ). Analysis of thematic clusters on the use of machine learning in marketing Figure 7 shows the most prominent cluster, marked in red, which includes keywords such as “classification”, “automatic assistance”, “security”, “algorithm”, “data processing”, “data collection”, and “digital transformation”. This cluster highlights the importance of applying data classification and processing techniques to improve the security and effectiveness of marketing strategies in the digital environment ( Jayashree et al., 2022 ). The second most relevant cluster, shown in green, includes keywords such as “data mining”, “data analytics”, “predictive analytics”, “naive Bayes”, “direct marketing”, “telecommunications”, “smote”, “online advertising", and "real-time bidding". This cluster highlights the importance of using data mining techniques and predictive analytics to improve the efficiency and accuracy of marketing strategies, especially in the area of online advertising and real time bidding ( Alhejaily et al., 2022 ; Bayoude et al., 2018 ). The third most significant cluster, shown in purple, includes keywords such as “deep learning,” “social media marketing,” “tweets,” “sentiment analysis,” “display advertising,” and “neural networks. This cluster highlights the importance of deep learning and sentiment analysis in social media marketing, where neural network techniques are used to understand and exploit user-generated information on social media platforms ( Sharma et al., 2022 ; Tahmaz et al., 2020 ). The fourth most important cluster, shown in light blue, includes keywords such as “digital marketing”, “prediction”, and “interpretation”. This cluster highlights the importance of using machine learning to predict and understand consumer behavior in the digital marketing environment, as well as to interpret the data and extract relevant knowledge for strategic decision making ( Sharma et al., 2021 ; Kaponis & Maragoudakis, 2022 ). Analysis of frequency and conceptual validity around the use of machine learning in marketing On the other hand, in quadrant 3 of Figure 8 , there is a group of keywords that have a particular position. These keywords, which include Direct Marketing, Display Advertising, Data Mining and Prediction, do not appear as the most frequent terms, nor are they positioned as the most current in the scientific literature studied; this pattern suggests that although these topics are relevant, they have not yet reached full consolidation in the context of machine learning research in marketing. Figure 8. Keyword validity and frequency. There is also quadrant 2, through which the concepts are positioned that, although they do not account for a very high frequency of use, this has occurred in recent years, which is why they are considered emerging concepts within the field. research on the uses of machine learning in marketing. One of the prominent concepts in this quadrant is that of “Healthcare”, which has been addressed in recent works, an investigation examines the impact of Machine Learning on digital marketing techniques and its application in the healthcare system ( Kapula et al., 2022 ), the study highlights the relevance of the implementation of Machine Learning tools in the field of health, which demonstrates its growing importance today. Another concept present in Quadrant 2 is that of ”systematic literature review”. One study provides a systematic review of the literature in the context of precision marketing, analyzing the application of machine learning ( Koufi, Belangour & Sadiq, 2023 ). This review highlights the need for rigorous and systematic research to better understand the role of machine learning in marketing and its impact on strategic decision making. The term “automated assistance” is also included in this quadrant, and its importance lies in automating tasks and improving the customer experience. Research has examined the impact of Machine Learning and Big Data in the digital transformation of marketing, highlighting the role of Machine Learning in providing automated and personalized assistance to consumers ( Jain et al., 2022 ). Another relevant concept in quadrant 2 is “consumer segmentation”, which has been studied in the field of marketing, the following article proposes methods based on machine learning and linear programming for efficient planning and selection of advertising in the media, highlighting the importance of consumer segmentation in marketing strategies ( Amgalanbaatar and Batnasan, 2022 ). Finally, the concept of “digitalization” has also emerged as a relevant topic in Quadrant 2. In a published article, machine learning is used to analyze the effectiveness of the marketing mix in the context of social marketing, focusing on the activities of fashion brands on Twitter during the pandemic ( Xia and Liu, 2022 ). This study highlights the importance of digitalization in marketing strategies and the need to apply machine learning techniques to better understand its impact. Finally, there is quadrant 1 of the Cartesian plane, through which there are concepts that are both the most common and the most current, which is why they are categorized as growing, leading and consolidated concepts within the scientific literature, one of these concepts is “Digital Marketing”, which has gained significant relevance today; The following researches highlight the application of machine learning in the expansion and efficiency of digital marketing campaigns, showing how the use of machine learning techniques allows the creation of similar audiences, the automatic tagging of content, and the improvement of the efficiency of content marketing ( Duvvuri, 2021 ) and ( Salminen et al., 2019 ), the growing adoption of digital marketing supports its importance today and its potential to drive the success of marketing strategies. Another prominent concept in Quadrant 1 is “Artificial Intelligence”. Some publications highlight the importance of market segmentation through machine learning models based on Artificial Intelligence, especially in the area of customer relationship management and customer profitability accounting ( Florez-Lopez and Ramon-Jeronimo, 2009 ). This approach shows how the application of Artificial Intelligence in marketing can improve the accuracy and efficiency of market segmentation, resulting in more effective and customer-focused strategies. In addition, the concept of “big data” is another key element in Quadrant 1. There are studies that address the adoption of analytical tools based on machine learning in the field of digital marketing ( Miklosik et al., 2019 ). Big data has become an invaluable source of information for marketing strategies, enabling the collection and analysis of large amounts of data to gain deep insights into consumer behavior and make evidence-based decisions. Classification of keywords on the use of machine learning in marketing according to their function After analyzing the behavior of the keywords in this bibliometrics in terms of thematic evolution, clustering and classification of these in terms of their validity and frequency, Table 1 is presented, which contains the classification of the main keywords related to the use of Machine Learning in marketing based on their function. Table 1. Classification of keywords by function. Keyword Related tools Applications Features Healthcare Predictive modeling Personalized medicine Improved patient outcomes Systematic Literature Review Text mining Research synthesis Efficient evidence evaluation Algorithm Decision trees Customer segmentation Automated pattern recognition Automatic Assistance Chatbots Customer support 24/7 availability Consumer Segmentation Clustering analysis Targeted marketing Precise audience targeting Digital Marketing Recommendation engines Customer engagement Enhanced personalized campaigns Artificial Intelligence Natural language processing (NLP) Sentiment analysis Automated data interpretation Big Data Data mining Market trend analysis Scalable data processing In accordance with the above, there are the keywords considered emerging in the field of research, in which healthcare, systematic literature review, algorithm, automatic assistance, consumer segmentation, digital marketing, artificial intelligence and big data are distinguished. Their classification serves as a basis for a key analysis, so that in the future other studies can base their contributions on them. Practical implications This study, applied to the applications of machine learning in marketing, has revealed important practical implications. Conceptually, a thematic evolution has been observed in the research, moving from the initial focus on Evolutionary Programming to a greater analysis of aspects related to Neural Networks, Big Data and Digital Marketing. This transition indicates a paradigm shift in the way the study of these applications is approached, reflecting the growing importance of cutting-edge technologies in the field of marketing. The analysis of thematic clusters has made it possible to identify the conceptual affinity between key terms such as “digital marketing”, “interpretation”, “prediction” and “healthcare”, suggesting that there is a significant interrelationship between digital marketing, data interpretation, behavior prediction and the application of machine learning in the field of healthcare; these findings have relevant practical implications for marketers, as they demonstrate the need to understand and use these emerging technologies to improve decision-making and the effectiveness of marketing strategies. Keyword frequency and currency analysis revealed the emergence of new terms such as “healthcare”, “systematic literature review”, “algorithm”, “automated assistance” and “consumer segmentation”. These terms reflect the growing importance of the application of machine learning in healthcare, the need for systematic literature review, the development of specific algorithms, automatic assistance in marketing tasks, and consumer segmentation, and the findings suggest the need to update the knowledge and skills of marketers to adapt to these new concepts and take full advantage of the opportunities they offer. Ethical implications The application of machine learning in marketing gives rise to a series of fundamental ethical considerations, particularly in the context of predictive analytics. While these technologies enable greater personalization and strategy optimization, they also pose risks related to consumer manipulation, privacy invasion, and algorithmic bias. It is imperative to draw a distinction between personalization and manipulation, as overly aggressive predictive models may exploit consumer vulnerabilities, thereby giving rise to concerns regarding fairness and transparency. To mitigate these risks, marketers must implement predictive analytics responsibly, following ethical principles that prioritize consumer autonomy and informed decision-making. Furthermore, the impact of machine learning-driven marketing on vulnerable populations requires special attention. Groups such as children, older adults, and low-income individuals may be more susceptible to targeted advertising or persuasive tactics that disproportionately influence their decisions. Marketers bear an ethical obligation to prevent the exploitation of these sectors by adopting responsible practices. Such practices include implementing age verification systems to restrict advertising to minors and adhering to ethical guidelines that prevent marketing strategies from harming vulnerable consumers. Ensuring transparency in data usage and developing protective policies not only strengthens consumer trust but also promotes a more equitable and ethical application of these technologies. Data privacy and security represent a significant ethical challenge in the application of machine learning in marketing. These technologies are dependent on the collection and processing of consumer data, which poses a risk of unauthorized access or misuse, potentially resulting in privacy breaches. To mitigate these risks, companies must implement robust data anonymization and encryption protocols, ensuring the secure storage and utilization of consumer information for its intended purpose. Recent high-profile data breaches have underscored the repercussions on consumer trust and corporate reputation, accentuating the pressing need to fortify security protocols and establish comprehensive regulations for the management of personal data. Limitations This bibliometric study on machine learning applications in marketing, carried out according to the PRISMA-2020 methodology and based on the Scopus and Web of Science databases, has certain limitations that must be taken into account. First of all, the selection of the databases could have affected the completeness of the results, since there are other sources of scientific information that could be important for this study and that were not included in it. Another important limitation lies in the use of specific tools such as Microsoft Excel ® and VOSviewer ® for bibliometric analysis; although these tools are widely used in the scientific community, their choice can influence the results and the interpretation of the bibliometric indicators obtained. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that the analysis of keywords and their co-occurrence may underestimate the complexity of the topics covered in the articles, since it does not take into account the complete framework in which the words are used. Finally, it is important to recognize that bibliometrics is based on existing scientific publications and is therefore subject to the limitations inherent in previous studies. These limitations may include the lack of representation of unpublished or ongoing research, as well as possible biases in the selection of articles analyzed. In addition, bibliometrics cannot provide an exhaustive assessment of the scientific quality of articles because it is based on bibliometric indicators that may be influenced by other indicators. Research gaps After analyzing the results and the corresponding discussion, Table 2 is proposed, which shows a series of research gaps or conceptual gaps recognized in the research on the use of machine learning in marketing, its justification and questions for future research that could be useful in mitigating existing gaps.

Continue reading READ ALL The paper presents a detailed bibliometric analysis of machine learning (ML) applications in marketing, emphasizing the rising interest and exponential rise in research papers between 2006 and 2023. The analysis highlights major trends, notable authors, journals, nations, topic clusters, and new keywords. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the application of machine learning (ML) in marketing , highlighting its potential to transform marketing strategies through data analysis, consumer behavior prediction, and campaign optimization. Strengths of paper: a. The combination of quantitative (e.g., publication counts, citations) and qualitative metrics e.g. keyword analysis offers a comprehensive picture of the research environment. b. The study clearly depicts the progression of research issues, from evolutionary programming to modern problems like as big data, digital marketing, and neural networks. c. The study clearly depicts the development of research issues, from evolutionary programming to current problems like as big data, digital marketing, and neural networks. d. The discussion of practical applications of machine learning in marketing, such as consumer behavior prediction, campaign optimization, and personalized marketing, helps to bridge the gap between academics and industry. Area for improvements: a. Issues like data privacy, algorithmic bias, or the societal impact of ML in marketing may be added in ethical implications. However, the article only briefly touches on ethical and privacy concerns , which are critical in the context of ML-driven marketing. Expanding on these concerns would significantly strengthen the article by addressing the following aspects: 1. Ethical Use of Predictive Analytics Why It Strengthens the Article : Predictive analytics, a key application of ML in marketing, raises ethical concerns about consumer manipulation and privacy invasion . How to Incorporate : The article could discuss the ethical boundaries of predictive analytics. For example, it could explore the difference between personalization and manipulation , emphasizing the need for marketers to use predictive analytics responsibly and transparently. 2. Impact on Vulnerable Populations Why It Strengthens the Article : ML-driven marketing can disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, or low-income individuals, who may be more susceptible to targeted advertising or manipulation. How to Incorporate : The article could discuss the ethical responsibility of marketers to avoid exploiting vulnerable groups. For instance, it could explore the use of age verification systems to prevent targeted advertising to children or the implementation of ethical guidelines to ensure marketing practices do not take advantage of vulnerable consumers. 3. Data Privacy and Security Why It Strengthens the Article : The use of ML in marketing relies heavily on consumer data, raising significant privacy concerns. Unauthorized access or misuse of this data can lead to breaches of privacy and security. How to Incorporate : The article could explore the importance of data anonymization and encryption to protect consumer information. It could also discuss the ethical responsibility of marketers to ensure that data is stored securely and used only for its intended purpose. For instance, the article could cite examples of companies that have faced backlash for data breaches and how they could have implemented better security measures. As per my understanding, by incorporating a detailed discussion of ethical and privacy concerns , the article would provide a more balanced and comprehensive view of the application of ML in marketing. Addressing these concerns would not only strengthen the article's relevance but also highlight the importance of responsible and ethical practices in the rapidly evolving field of ML-driven marketing. This would make the article more valuable to both researchers and practitioners, encouraging them to consider the ethical implications of their work and adopt best practices to protect consumer rights and trust. Are the rationale for, and objectives of, the Systematic Review clearly stated? Yes Are sufficient details of the methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes Is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results presented in the review? Partly If this is a Living Systematic Review, is the ‘living’ method appropriate and is the search schedule clearly defined and justified? (‘Living Systematic Review’ or a variation of this term should be included in the title.) Not applicable Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: Data analysis, Entrepreneurship development, Marketing analytics I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above.
