The main objective of the study was to identify variables and factors affecting Digital Citizenship (DC) in education sector. The study used Preferred Reporting Items for the Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for achieving the objectives of the study. Moreover, a search strategy was formulated including keywords, inclusion, and exclusion criteria. The researchers initially, retrieved 2192 studies from selected databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus) and manual search. Thirty relevant studies were selected that fulfilled objectives of the study and inclusion criteria. Extracted data was later analyzed qualitatively by using thematic analysis and four factors that affect DC were identified during the process. The most identifiable factors include personal, psychological, technological and information related, and social factors. The study also revealed the most prominent variables (categories) related to these factors. The researchers have learned through literature review that no comprehensive study has been conducted in identifying the factors affecting digital citizenship. The current study recommended the importance of using factors and variables that affect DC in the education sector so that it can help decision makers take into account personal, psychological, technological and social factors while developing information literacy instruction programs for digital citizenship, especially in education sector.
