Tendencias en Competencias Digitales y Habilidades Investigativas en Posgrado: un artículo bibliométrico

The objective of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of digital competencies and research skills in graduate students between 2003 and 2023. To analyze the academic production, the research method was based on bibliometric analysis. A total of 378 publications were selected from Scopus for the study based on their relevance and the keywords in English (Digital AND competencies, research AND skills). The results show that the most significant increase in scientific productivity occurred between 2016 and 2023 (n=341; 90,2 %). In addition, the United States was the country with the highest scientific output (10,3 %), the main publication sources were Education Sciences and Sustainability Switzerland (n=9 each), while Falloon, G. was the most referenced author (228 citations; 2 papers). Scientific articles accounted for 87 % of the total, with 44 % being research papers in the social sciences and 15 % in computer science. It is concluded that the thematic diversity, authorship, sources and available resources have been progressively advancing with respect to digital competencies and research skills in graduate students. Thus, this bibliometric analysis can serve as a basis for further studies.
