ROJAS LAYZA, Javier Abrahan; SALMON OJEDA, Luis Roberto  and  PERDOMO, Bexi. Digital transformation of Latin America Pymes: scienciometric study. Acad. (Asunción) [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.3, e1206.  Epub Dec 12, 2025. ISSN 2414-8938.  https://doi.org/10.30545/academo.2025.n3.1206.

Digital Transformation in SMEs has allowed them to expand their reach to new customers and improve their effectiveness and decision-making. This study aimed to analyze the scientific production on Digital Transformation of SMEs in Latin America. A bibliometric study was performed. The source of consultation was the Web of Science (WoS) (covering a decade 2013-2023). The analysis covered general production metrics and intellectual and conceptual structures. The results showed a growing interest in this topic. Scientific publications have evolved favorably; however, some gaps need to be addressed for more development of SMEs in the region. Those gaps include digital transformation in financial processes and from the perspective of sustainability. It is necessary to increase international collaboration in research and development. Authors conclude the need for more research to fill in the gaps and to incorporate some Latin American countries that do not report Digital Transformation production in SMEs.

Keywords : SMEs; digital transformation; innovation; digitalization; industry 4.0.
