A Bibliometric Analysis of Creativity Studies Within Giftedness

The relationship between intelligence and creativity has remained a focus of research for nearly 75 years. The primary objective of this study was to examine the current state of research on creativity in the context of giftedness and to identify prevailing trends. This study employed a bibliometric analysis of scholarly articles on the subject in English. The findings offer a comprehensive overview of the performance metrics, intellectual structure, and emerging trends within the literature on creativity in giftedness. Prominent journals, articles, institutions, countries, and authors were identified. Moreover, trends and network structures related to research topics were revealed. One of the most striking findings regarding the performance analysis of the studies was that the US is the most successful country in many areas such as citation frequency, institutional contributions, and author productivity. A significant insight from the trend analysis was the noticeable absence of technology-related topics such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, despite their growing relevance in educational research. That is why these areas are recommended for future investigation.
