Abstract

This study examines the current Digital Transformation (DT) knowledge in higher education, focusing on mobile app usage among Generation I. It examines publication trends, influential works, intellectual structures, keyword trends, and network visualizations to provide a foundation for future research and practice. This study used bibliometric analysis to examine articles from the Scopus database published from 2014 to 2024. Using the PRISMA method, the authors identified the articles and bibliographic information in the database and utilized VOS viewer to produce mapping and graphical presentations. This study presents how DT in higher education through mobile apps has evolved between 2014 and 2024. Studies on DT in higher education saw an 86% increase in 2020, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The top journals, influential authors, and affiliated countries are identified. The United States leads in contributions to this field with 35 publications, accounting for 19% of the total, followed by China and the UK, which account for 9% and 7%, respectively. Several key research gaps are identified based on existing literature, and suggestions are made for future studies. By examining current and influential trends, this study contributes to the knowledge of digital transformation in higher education and offers insights for institutions seeking to enhance mobile-based support services.
