      ab: This bibliometric analysis reviews 3,577 research articles on gifted education from the Scopus database published between 2005 to 2025, identifying trends and circuits of publications in this specialised area. Although gifted education research has grown over the last 20 years, no single bibliometric investigation has concomitantly analysed the changes over time in the publication rates, patterns of collaboration, and the overall development of the subject matter of enquiry on the same using a variety of analytical techniques, which have provided gaps in comprehension of intellectual organisation of the field, geographical concentration and implications of the pandemic era. The study uses VOS viewer software which uses the co-occurrence analysis of keywords, citation analysis, co-citation provides mapping, and collaboration network visualisation. The study reports relatively stable research output: on average, 150-200 articles per year with a significant increase to a bit less than 400 publications in 2021 after the pandemic. The United States leads within this research sphere generating close to five times more publications than any other country centred around the research facility of the University of Connecticut, Purdue University, and William & Mary. Donna Y. Ford is the most prolific researcher (61 publications) far ahead of other researchers. Network visualisations show complex intellectual structures based on central issues of identification strategies, equity concerns, developmental theories, and educational programmeming approaches. Co-citation analysis reveals separate scholarly communities joined by prominent researchers such as, Renzulli, Sternberg, Gardner and Ford, while international collaboration networks, because of increase, are however supremely US-centric. Such results capture the shift in the field of study to move beyond the identification focuss to that of multidimensional study of educational interventions, equity issues, developmental theories, and talent development in diverse populations and contexts.
