摘要

Instructional Science is a prominent international journal of learning sciences. This article provides a comprehensive bibliometric overview of the major trends within the journal from 1972 to 2023. The study focuses on assessing the journal’s impact, identifying the most productive and influential authors, institutions, and countries, as well as analysing the evolution of key topics over time. The primary source of bibliometric data for this analysis is the Scopus scientific database. Some information of the Web of Science Core Collection database is retrieved in specific instances to enhance the analysis. Additionally, the paper includes a graphical mapping of the bibliographic data using VOS viewer software, which provides more in-depth analysis through co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence of author keywords. The findings highlight the journal’s significant growth and impact over the years, and it is anticipated that it will continue to expand its international reach.
