Abstract

Digital transformation cannot be separated from sustainable development, which is happening in many countries. Indonesia is one of the countries that uses digital technology, such as artificial Intelligence, for sustainable development. This research aims to map and compare scientific publications in Indonesia and other countries in Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, and China. The study combines qualitative and quantitative research methods using bibliometric procedures. The research was conducted through several stages: (1) data preparation by determining the eligibility criteria for information sources, (2) searching for Scopus-indexed journals from 2021 to 2024 using Publish or Perish, including titles, abstracts, and authors. By using several key terms such as digital transformation, artificial Intelligence (AI), sustainable development, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and China, (3) the process of selecting research journals was carried out by synthesizing data in Mendeley's bibliographic management, resulting in the selection of 497 articles, (4) data analysis using VOSviewer. The study results show the importance of publishing scientific papers on a country's digital transformation, which encourages using technologies such as artificial Intelligence, subsequently stimulating sustainable development. Future studies can focus on digital platforms or assessment frameworks in Indonesia or the Asian region.
