B\u00fcber-Kaya, H. (2026).<\/strong> Mapping digitally mediated youth community-benefit engagement: a bibliometric analysis of volunteering, service-learning and digital civic participation [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review]. Open Research Europe<\/em>, 6, 291. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/openreseurope.24642.1<\/a><\/p>\n

This study maps research on youth community-benefit engagement – volunteering, service-learning and civically oriented activity – in digitally shaped contexts, under an explicit construct boundary that excludes political participation. It analyses 310 English-language articles and reviews indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (2006-2026), combining performance analysis with co-word and thematic mapping, co-citation analysis, reference publication year spectroscopy and citation-genealogy analysis.<\/p>\n

Across four complementary views, service-learning emerges as the principal organisational frame. Digital technology runs through the field as a cross-cutting layer rather than a consolidated theme, and no coherent digital-volunteering theme emerged under the present definition. Data and code are openly deposited on Zenodo: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5281\/zenodo.21433892<\/a><\/p>\n
