Abstract

Purpose – Mathematical communication is a fundamental component of mathematics education that supports conceptual understanding, reasoning, and collaborative learning. Despite the rapid growth of related studies, the field remains fragmented, limiting a comprehensive understanding of its scientific development, intellectual structure, and emerging research directions. This study aimed to map the global research landscape of mathematical communication through bibliometric analysis. Methodology – A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 9,574 English-language journal articles indexed in Scopus. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the study employed VOSviewer to analyse publication trends, co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, Total Link Strength (TLS), overlay visualization, and density visualization. Findings – Publication output has increased markedly since 2015, reflecting the growing importance of mathematical communication in mathematics education. Scientific production remains concentrated in a few countries, while collaboration networks are fragmented. The field is intellectually structured around mathematical communication, collaborative learning, self-regulated learning, cognitive engagement, and higher-order thinking skills. Recent research has shifted towards digital pedagogy and technology-enhanced communication, whereas technology-integrated communication, co-regulated learning, longitudinal studies, and cross-cultural research remain underexplored. Novelty – This study presents the first comprehensive bibliometric mapping that integrates scientific development, intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and research frontiers of mathematical communication research. Significance – The findings provide an evidence-based foundation for future research, instructional innovation, and international collaboration in mathematics education.

Abstract

Purpose – Mathematical literacy has expanded beyond its traditional association with large-scale assessment toward a broader domain encompassing pedagogical, technological, and contextual dimensions. This study maps the development, collaboration structure, thematic evolution, underexplored areas, and emerging research frontiers of mathematical literacy research in mathematics education. Methodology – A systematic literature review integrated with bibliometric analysis was conducted using 281 English-language journal articles indexed in Scopus and published between 2016 and March 2026. Following systematic screening procedures, publication trends and geographical distribution were examined alongside co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, Total Link Strength, overlay and density visualization, and bibliographic coupling using VOSviewer. Findings – The field shows accelerated publication growth, with the United States and Indonesia as the leading contributors, although international and author collaboration remains uneven and fragmented. Six thematic clusters reveal diversification from assessment-oriented foundations toward pedagogy, digital technology, teacher education, STEM, numeracy, and broader quantitative literacy contexts. Ethnomathematics, gender, early childhood education, and several digital and contextual intersections remain comparatively underexplored. Novelty – This study integrates collaborative, intellectual, temporal, and bibliographic structures to demonstrate that mathematical literacy research is undergoing simultaneous quantitative expansion and intellectual reorganization, rather than merely increasing in publication volume. Significance – The findings provide researchers, mathematics educators, and policymakers with an evidence-based map for strengthening cross-context collaboration, connecting fragmented research themes, and developing culturally responsive, technology-supported, and context-sensitive mathematical literacy research.
