Abstract

Though some reviews of subtopics of digital citizenship have been conducted, there is still a need for more research to systematically examine the corpus of literature on digital citizenship. To address this need, the authors of this study analyzed and described the body of research on digital citizenship that has been conducted to date. The literature reviewed herein thus spans 2004 (the earliest study we could locate) to 2019. Through analyzing 78 articles on the topic, the authors present findings on trends, contexts, outcomes, and frameworks.
