A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualisation of Digital Teaching and Learning Publications From Southeast Asia Countries

Abstract

This study provides a bibliometric analysis of 702 documents related to digital teaching and learning conducted by scholars from Southeast Asia (SEA) countries. The number of publications was limited before 2018, but rocketed during the 2019–2023 period. Based on scientific production of six most productive SEA countries, it is possible to classify them into three groups, with Indonesia and Malaysia in the first, Singapore and Thailand in the second, and Philippines and Vietnam in the third group. International collaborations among SEA scholars working in this research direction were limited, with only 19% of the publications resulting from collaborations with the most productive partner countries. Singaporean scholars were found to have a significant impact on the community, with their articles accounting for nearly 49% of the total citations. SEA scholars tended to focus on a few research topics such as applications of e‐learning, online learning, and blended learning, digital education and digital transformation during the COVID‐19 pandemic, and systematic review of different types of digital education applied in health professions education.
