Aplicaciones digitales para la seguridad ciudadana desde el enfoque comunitario, un estudio bibliométrico
Digital applications for citizen security from a community approach: a bibliometric studyContenido principal del artículo
Las herramientas tecnológicas con perspectiva comunitaria mejoran la protección y cooperación ciudadana. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la producción científica sobre aplicaciones digitales para la seguridad ciudadana desde un enfoque comunitario, mediante un estudio bibliométrico de la literatura publicada entre 2020 y 2025 en las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science. El proceso comprendió la recolección y depuración de datos mediante una búsqueda bilingüe; se procesaron 145 estudios con Bibliometrix 4.0 (R) para análisis descriptivo y de redes, mientras que VOSviewer permitió visualizar e interpretar la estructura y dinámicas del campo de estudio. Los resultados revelan un ciclo acelerado con auge en 2023 y consolidación posterior, indicando la maduración de un área emergente hacia temas de implementación y gobernanza. La red temática muestra integración entre tecnología, datos y participación ciudadana. Sin embargo, limitaciones como brecha digital y falta de gobernanza evidencian un desequilibrio entre lo técnico y lo social. Se recomienda priorizar investigación ética, evaluativa e interdisciplinaria.
Community-based technological tools improve citizen protection and cooperation. The objective of this study was to analyze the scientific output on digital applications for citizen security from a community perspective, through a bibliometric study of the literature published between 2020 and 2025 in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The process involved data collection and cleaning through a bilingual search; 145 studies were processed using Bibliometrix 4.0 (R) for descriptive and network analysis, while VOSviewer allowed for the visualization and interpretation of the structure and dynamics of the field of study. The results reveal an accelerated cycle with a surge in 2023 and subsequent consolidation, indicating the maturation of an emerging area toward implementation and governance issues. The thematic network shows integration between technology, data, and citizen participation. However, limitations such as the digital divide and a lack of governance reveal an imbalance between the technical and the social. Prioritizing ethical, evaluative, and interdisciplinary research is recommended.
