Abstract: This study seeks to deepen the understanding of existing mobile learning research, summarise the relevant knowledge and identify research gaps. This study is based on a systematic review of relevant studies conducted between 2009 and 2018; the pool of studies comprised 25 studies, representing a total of 1828 original publications. A taxonomy was proposed based on 13 taxonomies, which were grouped into five domains: bibliometric statistics, research purposes, demographics and context, methodologies and outcomes. The findings revealed the following: the number of articles published has increased over the last years, with significant contributions from Asia; most studies feature positive outcomes; the main focus is on learning effectiveness; the majority of the target sample comprises students, and the environment is hybrid, with a tendency to be informal; and mixed research methodologies are the common trend. The results also revealed a lack of current research in the field of strategies and frameworks.
