There is a well-established historical background of research on mathematical giftedness that can be traced back to the early 1900s. An overarching purpose of this research was to review and explore the existing research and its evolution since its emergence in educational and psychological studies. Thus, we examined the past, present, and future of research on mathematical giftedness using a bibliometric analysis. Our findings provided extensive insights into the intellectual structure of the extant literature on mathematical giftedness, including the leading journals, articles, countries, authors, institutions, and networks among researchers as well as key research topics that were investigated in the literature. Perhaps one of the most striking findings of this study was about the productivity in the field over the years as the bibliometric analysis indicated a decline in the number of publications that were published in the last several years. We discussed possible factors behind the recession in research investigations on mathematical giftedness and provided significant implications of the findings to inform future research.

数学天赋研究的过去、现在和未来：文献计量分析

关于数学天赋的研究已有完善的历史背景，可以追溯到 1900 年代初期。这项研究的首要目的是回顾和探索现有的研究及其自教育和心理学研究出现以来的演变。因此，我们利用文献计量分析来审视数学天赋研究的过去、现在和未来。我们的研究结果为现有关于数学天赋的文献的知识结构提供了广泛的见解，包括主要期刊、文章、国家、作者、机构和研究人员之间的网络以及文献中调查的关键研究主题。也许这项研究最引人注目的发现之一是该领域多年来的生产力，因为文献计量分析表明过去几年出版的出版物数量有所下降。我们讨论了数学天赋研究衰退背后的可能因素，并提供了研究结果的重要意义，为未来的研究提供信息。
