Digital Culture in Information Science Studies: A Systematic Literature Review

This paper aims to provide a systematic literature review covering the field of digital culture in the information science study. Digital culture studies have been used in various fields, including but not limited to humanities, education, information technologies, human resources, and counseling. However, the amount of research that discusses the digital culture in information science study remains limited. This paper will provide a comprehensive insight into the studies that have been conducted related to digital culture based on various publications that have been deposited in the selected databases. Based on findings, previous scholars define the concept of digital culture as associated with people as well as technology. The behavior of people interacting, behaving, thinking, and communicating as human beings will create the digital culture environment within current communication settings. Besides that, the development of digital culture research began within the 21st century when the digital and industrial revolutions were introduced. The findings also present the limited number of digital culture research trends within information science. Thus, it is significantly important to explore digital culture research, particularly within information science studies. The information provided in this current study will be greatly beneficial to the research community to discover which database is the most relevant to digital culture studies. This will further assist the researchers to select and target the high-indexed journals in the respective databases.
