ABSTRACT

This study investigated research trends in digital curation indexed in a prominent domestic academic information database. A systematic literature review was conducted on 39 academic papers published from 2009 to 2023. The review examined indexing status according to publication year, venue, academic discipline, research area distribution, research affiliation and occupation, and research types. In addition, network centrality analysis and cohesive group analysis were performed on 69 author keywords. The findings revealed several key points. First, digital curation research peaked in 2015 and 2016 with 5 publications each year, followed by a slight decrease, and then consistently produced 4 or more publications annually since 2019. Second, among the 39 studies, 25 were conducted in interdisciplinary fields, including library and information science, while 11 were in the humanities, such as miscellaneous humanities. The most prominent research areas were theoretical and infrastructural aspects, information management and services, and institutional domains. Third, digital curation research was predominantly led by university-affiliated professors and researchers, with collaborative research more prevalent than solo research. Lastly, analysis of author keywords revealed that “digital curation,” “institution,” and “content” were the most influential central keywords within the overall network.
