Abstract :The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the articles written in the field of mathematics related to gifted students. Bibliometric analysis is the numerical examination of publications produced in a specific field and in a limited period and the relationships between these publications. The analysis included 104 research articles published in Turkish journals between 2010 and 2023 and accessed by searching Google Scholar, Dergipark and ULAKBIM databases. It is seen that the majority of the articles were written in 2020 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 18); and in Turkish insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(74%);. A total of 52 articles by authors from 52 different institutions were found, and most of these articles belonged to MoNE teachers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 59, 27%);. It was also found that the articles in this field were published in 69 different journals and the journals that published the most articles were \`Turkish Journal of Gifted Intelligence\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5%); and \`Journal of Gifted Education and Creavity\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5%);. A total of 165 authors\` publications on giftedness and mathematics were found and the authors who published the most were Avni Yıldız insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 5); and Serdal Baltacı insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 5);. A total of 1244 words were used in the titles of the published articles and the words \`gifted\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 57);, \`gifted\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 52);, \`students\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 41);, \`mathematics\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 37);, \`problem\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 31); were prominent. In the articles, 240 different keywords were used; \`gifted students\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 18);, \`gifted students\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 16);, \`gifted students\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 12); and \`problem solving\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 10); were the most preferred keywords. In 67% of the studies, fewer than 100 people were studied and the sample of students insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 81, 78%); was preferred more. When the articles in the field of giftedness and mathematics were analyzed in terms of their purposes, \`problem solving\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 24); and \`STEM\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 13); came to the fore. In addition, 51 different scales were used in the analyzed articles and the most preferred scales were \`Problem Solving Inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Heppner & Petersen, 1982);\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 4, 8%); and \`Learning Styles Inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kolb, 1984);\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 3, 6%);. A total of 3364 different sources were cited in 104 articles; the most cited source in the field of giftedness was \`Education of the Gifted and Talented insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Davis G. A. & Rimm S.B., 1998);\` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f: 16);.
