Abstract

La incorporación de las tecnologías digitales en la enseñanza ha evidenciado la importancia de la competencia digital docente (CDD) como elemento clave para formar a los ciudadanos del siglo XXI. La CDD es una competencia compleja y no resulta sencillo encontrar una definición que recoja la globalidad del término. En este artículo se presenta una revisión sistemática de la literatura con base en el modelo de la Declaración PRISMA, donde se analizan las definiciones de la CDD presentes en 31 publicaciones con el objetivo de identificar sus similitudes y diferencias, y revisar su relación con las dimensiones que la componen. Los resultados muestran un desequilibrio en la presencia de sus dimensiones, destacando la ausencia casi generalizada de la dimensión relacional, ética y seguridad. Se concluye con la propuesta de una definición integradora de la CDD que permita a docentes y entidades educativas conocer el alcance de esta competencia profesional.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Revista Electronica de Investigacion Educativa, and although the journal is classified in the quartile Q3 (Agencia WoS (JCR)), its regional focus and specialization in Education & Educational Research, give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 7.73. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 13, 2025)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 3.5 (source consulted: FECYT Mar 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2026-04-17, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 17
  • Scopus: 14
  • Google Scholar: 41

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-17:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 40.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 196 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 29.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 10 (Altmetric).
  • The number of mentions in news outlets: 3 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11797/imarina9296991
