Digitalization, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Bibliometric Analysis, VOSviewer, TechnologyAbstract
This study explores the intersection of digitalization and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Using data exclusively from the Scopus database and analyzed with VOSviewer, the study identifies key research trends, influential authors, and collaboration networks shaping the discourse on digital transformation and sustainability. The analysis reveals central themes such as climate change, circular economy, financial inclusion, smart cities, and technological innovation, underscoring the multifaceted role of digital technologies in supporting SDG implementation. The findings highlight both the potential and challenges of digitalization, including the persistent digital divide, data privacy concerns, and the need for inclusive digital policies. By mapping the intellectual landscape and identifying emerging themes, the study provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners aiming to leverage digital innovation for sustainable development.
