Abstract
Concept mapping is a method used in many disciplines and at many levels. It is considered valuable to determine the latest trends in this method. Therefore, in this study, a bibliometric analysis of concept mapping studies published between 1985-2021 on the Web of Science database has been conducted. A total of 519 articles meeting the relevant inclusion criteria were identified. In the related analysis, the top authors, journals, institutions, and articles in the field of concept mapping were revealed. In addition, the co-word network structure in concept mapping studies was examined in terms of collaboration between institutions and authors. In the analyses performed, it was seen that most publications on the subject were from 2013, the top journal was Journal of Research in Science Teaching, and the top institution was the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Furthermore, it has been observed that there is not a great deal of co-authorship in the field of concept mapping. However, a binary connection between Kirscher, P., Wang, M., and Stoyanov, S. has been noted. The results have shown that concept mapping has a broad literature base. The study will be of tremendous benefit to the associated field.
