Overview

Bibliometric analysis identifies trends in digital competency in libraries, highlighting global disparities and strategies for improvement.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze research trends in digital competency within library and information science from 2001 to 2024, focusing on pandemic-related shifts.
  • Comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 207 documents indexed by Scopus from 2001-2024.
  • Use of bibliometric tools like VOSviewer, Excel, and Bibliometrix to identify trends and patterns.
  • Mapping of collaborative networks and influential publications in the field.
  • A notable increase in publications in 2021 reflects shifts toward digital library services during the pandemic.
  • Wealthy nations dominate research output, while open access remains underutilized in core LIS journals.
  • Open access publications show higher average citations, indicating the need for policy interventions in lower-income countries.
