ABSTRACT
This article carries out a bibliometric research review to present the evolving landscape of
innovations in science education. The study acknowledges the dynamism of the contemporary
educational practices and uses the bibliometric analyses for identification of trends, assessment
of impacts of scholarly outputs, and mapping the future directions in the field of science education
innovation. Starting with a review of the standard bibliometric indicators, e.g., citation analysis
and co-authorship, the review lays down the theoretical basis for the understanding of the
scientific impact of the innovations in science education. The analysis, moreover, consists of
identifying thematic foci and emerging topics through keyword mapping, which together present
a holistic picture of the intellectual map of the field. The review points to seminal works and trends,
demonstrating the nature of interdisciplinarity in research in science education innovation. By the
analysis of collaborative networks and research hotspots the research not only demonstrates the
present status of the field, but also predicts its future directions, which could help researchers and
educators at the same time. Also, as a retrospective tool, the article explores the general relevance
of bibliometric insights for educators, administrators, and other researchers. It highlights the
application of bibliometrics in evidence-based decision-making, curricula design and international
collaboration, because it is common knowledge that it can trigger the great revolution in
innovative science education. This bibliometric review generates useful outcomes, which are
beneficial to academic discussions and provide guidelines for future research efforts as a key
reference for researchers who would like to have a deep, general overview of the innovations in
science education.
