Abstract

The bibliometric analysis of digital inclusion in university students addresses a fundamental topic in modern education, impacting both access to digital technologies and the development of competencies necessary for their effective use. This study aims to identify trends, influential authors, leading institutions, and international collaborations within the related scientific literature, using a quantitative methodology based on the Scopus database. A total of 500 publications were processed using tools such as Bibliometrix and VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks and emerging trends. The results highlight a significant increase in scientific output since 2016, driven by the growing digitization of education and the COVID-19 pandemic, which underscored technological inequalities. The conclusions emphasize the importance of inclusive policies, digital literacy, and technological infrastructure development to promote sustainable digital equity, ensuring equal educational opportunities for all university students.
