This article presents a systematized review of scientific production between the years 2012 and 2016 of the use and application of mobile devices in Spanish universities. The objective is to interpret academic interest in Mobile Learning and the attributes of this production. In order to do this, 50 articles from journals and minutes from international congresses indexed in the databases of Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar were selected and subsequently analyzed within four categories: information about the authors, the publications’ bibliographic information, information about the populations studied and scientific-methodological information. The results indicate that this is an emerging topic of development, given the limited number of articles and communications found, yet this output demonstrates the importance of the research groups and projects funded, which have defined a research trajectory in several authors. Likewise, some Spanish autonomous regions and certain disciplines addressed in the studies are underrepresented. The predominant methodology is quantitative and the most frequent research technique is the questionnaire, although there is also a growing number of experimental designs. The evidence found suggests a broad field for research into the pedagogical potential of mobile devices in higher education and puts forward an agenda for future studies.
