Bibliometric analysis on principles of digital content creation for toddlers

Abstract

Young toddlers’ early experience of digital screen-watching engagement is extraordinary for their first three years of cognitive, language, physical, social, and emotional development. While previous studies have documented that toddlers’ digital use negatively impacts from an ecological perspective. However, some work has shown that digital screen media opens learning outcomes for toddlers around three years old. Besides, there are significant literature gaps related to well-designed, theoretically proven, empirically researched principles of digital content creation for young toddlers. Therefore, the present study used inclusion and exclusion criteria, a PRISMA (The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) flow chart, and screening research hot spots to reveal the principles of creating digital content for toddlers aged 0 to 3. Bibliometric analysis on research hotspots and leading researchers’ publications evokes constitute the trends in digital content creation and consumption. The findings showed a compilation of eleven principles of digital content creation for young screen consumers based on the screening process from the Dimension database. This study used the bibliometric analysis method to seek publications on principles of digital content creation for young toddlers to provide further research directions in empirical research.
