Digital transformation has become concern for various organization, including universities worldwide. These processes require a well identification on critical issues that universities encounter to attain a successful digital transformation. This study aims to identify the critical issues, including the advantages and the challenges arises in Indonesian universities digital transformation processes. This research was conducted using PRISMA approach for systematic literature review framework. The citation and co-authorship analysis were conducted for the selected sample articles from the Dimension journal database. Finally, this research use the annotated bibliography to identify the issues on digital transformation processes from the universities stakeholder’s perspective, especially managers of higher education institutions during 2018 to 2023. This research found 79 articles for the initial analysis. From the co-authorship analysis, we found 4 articles which conform our research context. The annotated bibliography found the critical use of the framework which identify several priority issues in universities digital transformation processes, namely contextual, technical, and cultural issues. The critical use of digital transformation framework would be beneficial in responding obstacles during the transformation processes. This research suggest the empirical examination on using the framework for universities digital transformation readiness. The empirical evidence would generate opportunities for further framework improvement.
