Twitch, social media, streaming, livestreaming, systematized review, Systematic reviewAbstract
Twitch is a livestreaming platform that has gained popularity in recent years. In this article, a systematized review of the scientific literature found in WoS, Scopus, Proquest and Dialnet published in academic journals is carried out. For this, qualitative and quantitative analysis has been carried out. Some notable results show a maximum of annual publications in 2022, an American predominance in the authorship and production of articles and a low interest in the communicative aspect (both commercial and non-commercial) of the platform.
