description Objective: This study sets out to examine the reliability and validity of the Digital Literacy Scale's Turkish version. Methods: The study employed a methodological, cross-sectional, and descriptive design. The study sample consisted of students and academic and administrative staff at a state university, and 302 people participated. Personal information form, the Digital Literacy Scale by Reddy et al (2023), and the Digital Literacy Scale by Bayrakci and Narmanlioglu (2021) were employed to gather data. Language validity, content validity, construct validity, and reliability analyses were carried out to assess the validity and reliability of the scale. Results: The Digital Literacy Scale's Cronbach's alpha was 0.978. For test- retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient varied between 0.879 and 0.918, which was significant for the scale. Factor analysis revealed a 6-factor structure. A strong and significant correlation between the scales was found using the parallel form reliability method (r = 0.734, P < .001). Conclusion: It was found that the Digital Literacy Scale's Turkish version is a valid and reliable tool for determining digital literacy. Keywords: Digital literacy, reliability, validity
