The purpose of this study is to investigate how scientific argumentation research has evolved utilizing bibliometric analysis and computational mapping analysis with VOSviewer. Using the publish or perish reference management tool, article data was extracted from the Google Scholar database. The search was conducted using the keyword “Scientific Argumentation” as referenced in the article's title and abstract. A total of 937 items were deemed pertinent. The recent five years’ worth of Google Scholar-indexed articles served as the study period's source material (2018–2023). The study's findings demonstrated that research. The results of the analysis of the development of the scientific argumentation publication engine in the last 5 years showed quite frequent fluctuations. In 2018–2019 it increased from 133 to 182, in 2020 it decreased to 173 studies and in 2021 it decreased again to 167 studies. Between 2018 and 2023, there were variations in research output (133, 182, 173, 167, 200, 82 publications annually, in that order). Research decreased in 2022–2023; specifically, from 200 studies in 2022 to 82 studies in 2023. Using VOSviewer, we determined the number of published publications on scientific argumentation and its connection to the issue area. This review can serve as a basis for further materials-related research.
