Abstract:
This study aims to comprehensively view the scientific articles
published on mathematical modelling (MM) before 2023. In this
context, analyzed articles published on MM with bibliometric
analysis under four main headings; scientific productivity, network
analysis, conceptual structure, and thematic map. The Web of
Science database was used to analyze 906 articles published by 2039
authors representing 68 countries from 1981 to 2023. According to
the study's findings, the articles published on MM differ yearly, but
the number of citations is constantly increasing. Erbas, A. K.,
Schukajlow, S., and Kaiser, G. are the most productive authors. The
most productive institutions are Purdue, Australian Catholic, and
Hamburg Universities. According to the network analysis, the
journals ZDM Mathematics Education and Educational Studies in
Mathematics come to the fore. It was determined that the best size
reduction obtained in the conceptual analysis constituted
approximately 44% of the total variability. According to the findings
obtained at the end of the research, made some suggestions
