Abstract:
Using systematic review of the literature, we investigated how empirical studies have conceptualized at-risk or vulnerable youth digital information practices. A search for empirical studies published between January 2009 and December 2018 was carried out using keyword search. The results were filtered using a set of selection criteria, and 58 articles were selected for analysis. Using a codebook, each article in the corpus was read independently by two researchers. Ten areas of vulnerability were identified, together with the geographical and disciplinary origins of these studies. The study contributes a landscape view of key focal interests in studying the vulnerable, paying particular attention to where these studies are conducted as well as the disciplinary origins of these researchers. This work also highlights vulnerability areas that are missed or exhausted in specific countries and regions around the world, paving the way forward for specific future research agendas involving at-risk or vulnerable populations.
