Summary
This bibliometric review examined global research trends on the management of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for sustainable education in higher education over two decades (2000–2019). Analysis of 1814 Scopus-indexed articles revealed an exponential growth in publications, particularly in the final five years, demonstrating increasing scholarly attention to the relationship between technology, sustainability, and educational institutions. The findings establish a foundation for understanding how ICT governance can support the development of ethically-grounded, environmentally-aware higher education systems.
UK applicability
The findings provide a global research landscape relevant to UK higher education policy-makers and institution leaders seeking evidence-based strategies for integrating ICTs with sustainability commitments. However, the abstract does not specify the proportion of UK-based research included, limiting direct applicability to the UK policy or practice context without closer examination of country-specific data within the full paper.
Key measures
Bibliometric indicators including publication volume trends, journal productivity, author contributions, institutional and national research output, publication timeline analysis (2000–2019), and identification of current and future research lines
Outcomes reported
The study analysed bibliometric trends in research on ICT management for sustainable education in higher education (2000–2019), examining 1814 articles from Scopus to identify scientific productivity patterns, key contributing institutions and countries, and emerging research directions.
