abstract

  • © Italian e-Learning Association.The mass use of the Internet, networks and digital devices has intensified the training processes in digital literacy; however, the risks related to the safety of users have also increased. The objective of this article is to analyze the scientific production related to digital security literacy, as well as to identify consolidated and emerging lines of research. To achieve this, a systematic literature review was carried out during the 2010-2020 period, taking as sources of information the Scopus and Web of Science databases. We used the systematic literature review method which has been adjusted for its application in the area of social sciences. The results indicate that most of the scientific texts have been produced in English, and that the treatment of the subject has been developed from perspectives related to criteria for the protection of personal data. Therefore, it is concluded that there is a need to develop a more solid body of scientific work that considers aspects such as safety in social networks, skills for digital security and digital intelligence.
