Within this context, opinion mining and sentiment analysisin marketing communications (OMSAMC) has a strong role in the development of the field byallowing us to understand whether people are satisfied or dissatisfied with our service or productin order to subsequently analyze the strengths and weaknesses of those consumer experiences. Tothe best of our knowledge, there is no science mapping analysis covering the research about opinionmining and sentiment analysis in the MarCom ecosystem. In this study, we perform a sciencemapping analysis on the OMSAMC research, in order to provide an overview of the scientific workduring the last two decades in this interdisciplinary area and to show trends that could be the basisfor future developments in the field. This study was carried out using VOSviewer, CitNetExplorerand InCites based on results from Web of Science (WoS). The results of this analysis show theevolution of the field, by highlighting the most notable authors, institutions, keywords,publications, countries, categories and journals.
