As a result of the search, 54 studies contain definitions related to the relevant concepts were included in the research. These studies were analyzed using content analysis method. In addition, a further search was conducted on Scopus database for bibliometric analysis. 2,707 studies on digital transformation and 327 studies on digital transformation in higher education were analyzed. As a result, framework consisting of individual, technology, strategy, product, culture, model, process, services, and organization components was formed for digital transformation. Similarly, a framework consisting of individual, education, technology, strategy, research, model, capability, process components was formed for digital transformation in higher education. Similar components were found in both frameworks. Differences can be attributed to institutional structure. Furthermore, it is recommended to use the framework for further development with more studies and different data sources, and guide institutions.
