been determined that the most frequently used keyword in scientific inquiry is “scientific inquiry”. It has been concluded that the most effective journal in scientific inquiry is “Science Education”.
In addition, it has been determined that “English” comes to the fore as a language in studies conducted on scientific inquiry and that the “USA” as a country works actively in scientific inquiry.
