Revealing trends in academic publishing on immersive journalism through a dataset analysis of metaverse and extended...

This article presents the data obtained from a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the use of metaverse and extended technologies for immersive journalism [1]. Boolean operators, both in English and Spanish, were used to retrieve scientific literature using Publish or Perish 8 software on Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar between 2017 and 2022. After finding all the scientific literature, a methodological process was carried out using selection criteria and following the PRISMA model to obtain a total sample of 61 scientific articles. The DESLOCIS framework was used for the evaluation and quantitative and qualitative analysis of the retrieved data. The first dataset [2] contains the metadata of the retrieved publications according to the phases of the PRISMA statement. The second dataset [3] contains the characteristics of these publications according to the DESLOCIS framework. The data offer the possibility to develop new longitudinal studies and meta-analyzes in the field of immersive journalism.
