Digital transformation and sustainability in education: A bibliometric review

Abstract

The paper provides an overview of research on sustainability and digital transformation in education. It aims to identify the major contributions, major themes, and current trends that have dominated this maturing frame. A bibliometric analysis of 1,435 publications from 2000 to July 2025 that were indexed in the Scopus database was conducted. This enabled the authors to find out the trends of growth in publication, the role played by individual authors, institutions, countries, and co-occurring keywords. The findings indicate that the world is increasingly interested in revolutionising education by using digital technologies that support sustainable, all-inclusive learning conditions. Among the central topics, one is going to mention online and blended learning, the green curriculum design, the digital equity, and the role education plays in accessing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study not only traces the academic territory but also examines how technology can be used as an educational tool to promote future-readiness, environmental awareness, and social justice. The results will assist scholars, teachers, and policymakers to make informed decisions and connect innovation to a permanent change
