Based on results data collection 209 publication articles were obtained from the Scopus database, through the validation and extraction process obtained 29 research articles relevant to the issue and criterion to reviewed. The research results reveal five key factors shaping the digital entrepreneurship intentions in university students. These factors comprise cognitive, individual, educational, environmental, and demographic factors. Remarkably, the study highlights the dominance of individual factors, cognitive factors, and Theory of Planned Behaviour models within the realm of digital entrepreneurship study.
