The advancements of technology have allowed digital transformation to reach all
productive sectors, including the education sector and its members. This transformation is linked to emerging technologies, the digitalization of processes
and resources, and the demand for users to upgrade to the latest technological
updates. This research aims to analyze digital transformation and media literacy
publications that impact higher education. Its purpose is to identify the types
of research and topics they address and explore the scope of digital transformation in higher education institutions. The systematic mapping method was used
to analyze 298 articles published in two databases, Scopus and Web of Science
(WoS). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to select the articles that
could be included in this research. The results show that the largest proportion of
articles were found in Scopus, and used both qualitative and quantitative empirical research methods, followed by theoretical-conceptual methods and, to a lesser
extent, mixed methods. Likewise, the publications originated in fve continents,
and the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy had the largest number of publications, with 14. Forty-two percent of the studies were classifed in the strategy
category, with the most mentioned topic being digital pedagogies. This research
provides a perspective on digital transformation studies in higher education institutions and their internalization approaches. This research may be of value to
trainers, students, decision-makers, and researchers interested in transformation,
educommunication, and educational innovation.
