Abstract: The aim of this study is to make a holistic review of research on digitalization in local governments. In this Scopus database, 57 studies including the phrases “local purpose†and “digitization†in the title, summary and keywords were examined. The bibliometric analysis of the obtained data was performed using the R Studio program. When the results were evaluated, it was observed that the studies were between the years 2000-2023. While it was determined that there were a total of 21 studies between 2000-2019, it has been observed that the studies in this field have increased gradually in the last 4 years, with 36 studies as of 2020. The most studies were published in 2021 and 2022, with 11 publications each. Local government (27) and digitization (15) are the most used keywords. The countries with the highest number of studies are China (17), England (14) and the USA (8). In addition to these, when the bibliometric analysis results are examined, the most widely published source on this subject is Sustainability (5). The most published authors are Baud, I., Denis, E. Pfeffer, K. Scott, D. and Sydenstricker-Neto, J., with 2 publications each. The most cited journals are Sustainability (24) and Government Information Quarterly (23). The countries of the most cited authors are China (120) and the Netherlands (67). In this study, important information is obtained by examining the conceptual, social and intellectual structure of the literature.
