A total of 93 articles were detected. The country with the highest number of studies was China with 21. The author with the most publications was Goncharuk, Y.A. with seven. The affiliation with most studies was Belgorod State University with seven. The articles were published in 34 journals, of which the most cited was Work, Employment and Society with a total of 107. Some of the most used software in project management were detected. In addition, five lines of research derived from the cluster analysis were determined and, consequently, a checklist was designed so as to evaluate technology use in project management.
