Digital storytelling has proven to be a pedagogy that can enhance learners’ motivation and multiple competencies. However, there is a lack of conceptual research on digital storytelling in higher education. This study aims to assess the trends of digital storytelling in higher education through bibliometric analysis. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) procedure was used to extract data from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. A thorough review was conducted to classify and rank the relevant literature on digital storytelling in higher education. The result shows that research on digital storytelling in higher education is increasing annually, but there are significant regional and disciplinary gaps at the higher education level. The main findings of this study are helpful for practitioners and researchers to understand better the current state of research on digital storytelling in higher education and to provide directions for future research.
