Since interactive narrative journalism is one of the trends of digital journalism, it is necessary to approach the o"er of services that facilitate the journalistic creation of dynamic and interactive journalistic contents. The main objective is to analyze web programs and applications for the creation and publication of interactive digital narratives. Based on the PRISMA systematic review methodology, a total of 15 programs and web applications were identi!ed after reading 28 articles and examination of 54 webpages with value in interactive digital journalism. Five are open-source applications, which invite the community to continue developing improvements that make these tools innovative and adaptable to future changes. Our study reveals the highly valued functionalities, such as the capacity for data analysis and teamwork, among others that allow the integration of 360° multimedia, the management of the interaction map, the preview in di"erent output formats, such as tablet or mobile. However, there is a lack of journalistic roles in these tools that let them coordinate and optimise the publication process to produce the !nal news.engCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/), which permits non-commercial re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, and is not altered, transformed, or built upon in any way.Narrativa dixitalNarrativa digitalDigital storytellingNarrativa interactivaInteractive storytellingComunicación interactivaInteractive communicationTecnologíaTecnoloxíaTechnologyHerramientasFerramentasToolsPeriodismo digitalXornalismo dixitalDigital journalismjournal article10.1080/13614568.2023.21750411740-7842open access
