Resumen

Objective. This study analyzed the state of digital governance in the Americas from the perspective of university academic management, assessing its implementation, trends, and key strategies between 2010 and 2020. Methodology. A systematic literature review was conducted based on the PRISMA 2020 declaration. 64 relevant articles from Scopus, SciELO, and Web of Science were included, analyzing the legal support, institutional interrelations, and technological services used in university academic management. Results/Discussion. Only 50% of countries in the Americas have moved toward a digital governance model. Brazil, Mexico, and Canada stand out for their regulatory support and sustainable strategies. Universities have implemented initiatives such as learning platforms, library digitization, and the triple helix model, promoting administrative efficiency and access to educational resources. However, challenges such as technological gaps and inequalities in digital skills limit the impact of these strategies. These findings highlight the need for robust regulatory frameworks, inclusive policies, and intersectoral collaboration to consolidate digital transformation. Conclusions. Although progress has been made in university digitalization, regional inequalities and challenges related to digital infrastructure and capabilities persist. This analysis establishes a basis for designing more equitable and sustainable strategies to strengthen digital governance in universities. Originality/Value. The study provides a comprehensive view of digital governance in the Americas, identifying trends and areas for improvement to optimize its implementation and promote inclusive strategies in academic management.
