Using VOSviewer for data mapping, we identified 17 key terms central to the discourse. These keywords were selected based on their frequency, relevance, and conceptual alignment with a definition-based analysis. By categorizing them, we reveal thematic clusters and interconnections that help clarify how digital design is framed and understood across publications. The novelty of this review lies in combining keyword mapping with conceptual categorization, offering a structured overview of the field. Our findings provide scholars and practitioners with a reliable foundation for future research and critical engagement with digital design.
