This study aimed to examine the published articles on global citizenship and education in journals covered by the Web of Science’s (WoS) SSCI, ESCI, and A&HCI indexes in the education category through using bibliometric analysis. For this purpose, 580 articles were examined. The data of the study were obtained from the WoS database. VOSviewer software was used in the analysis of the data. In this context, the course of research-related publications over the years, the most productive and influential researchers, journals, institutions, countries, as well as the most cited articles, co-cited researchers, and current trends have been evaluated within a general framework. The first publication on the subject of research was published in 1983. Especially after 2008, the increase in the number of publications has continued decisively. The most productive journal on the subject of research is “Globalization Societies and Education”, and the most influential journals bases on the number of citations are “Journal of Studies in International Education”, “British Journal of Educational Studies” and “Environmental Education Research”. “University of Birmingham”, “University of Georgia”, and “University of London”, and “Tel Aviv University” stand out as the most influential institutions related to the subject of research. The most influential countries in terms of the number of citations are “England”, “USA”, “Australia”, “Canada” and “People’s Republic of China”, respectively. “The University of Hong Kong", “The University of British Columbia”, “Tel Aviv University”, “University of Copenhagen” and the “University College LondonUCL” have been found as the institutions with the strongest and widest international cooperation network. As a result of keyword analysis, the words “critical global citizenship education”, “refugees”, “transformative education”, “social studies education”, “peace education”, “international students” attract attention in the last five-year trend. These results of the study can benefit researchers who are just starting to work on the study topic or those who have already been working in terms of publishing, creating cooperations and mastering the intellectual foundations of the field.
