Science Mapping Research on Digital Citizenship Research in Education

Abstract

This study aimed to unearth the status of the educational research dimension of the digital citizenship literature through the studies scanned in the education research category in the WoS database and whose author keywords include digital citizenship. For this purpose, 96 studies were examined. The data set was extracted from WoS database. A bibliometric analysis was conducted for a holistic review of the subject area. The data was analyzed using VOSviewer software. First, the distribution of studies on digital citizenship by years and publication types is reported. Within the scope of bibliometric analysis, first, citation analysis was performed. To reveal the most cited articles, authors, journals, institutions, and countries on digital citizenship. Also, by using the citation analysis, the authors, journals, institutions, and countries that have published the most studies on digital citizenship are reported. In the current study, a co-author analysis was also performed and the most collaborating institutions on digital citizenship and the most co-cited authors on digital citizenship were studied. In addition, the most used author keywords in studies on digital citizenship were revealed by using a common word analysis. The results of the current study might constitute a guide for further research on digital citizenship.
