This research aims to examine and bibliometric analyze works published in various disciplines in the international literature, which are considered to play an important role in the field of museology. Articles, conference papers, books, and other publications related to museology are targeted to be examined and analyzed within specific parameters. The Web of Science (WOS) database was utilized on July 01, 2023, to scan scientific publications. The scanning process was conducted using the "title" tab with the keywords "Museology" and "Muselogy." As a result of the scan, 1551 academic publications were reached. The VOSviewer software was used for bibliometric analysis and visualization. Research on museology was examined within parameters such as publication years, types of publications, institutions, authors, sources, countries, languages, citations, and keywords. The research revealed that the majority of research on museology has been conducted in recent years, articles being the most common type of publication, the United States being the country with the highest number of publications, and English being the most frequently used language. It was observed that articles related to museology were mostly published in the journal "Muzeologia a Kulturne Dedicstvo Museology and Cultural Heritage," with "Gray Clive" identified as the author with the highest number of publications in this field. The institution with the most research was determined to be "Comenius University Bratislava." It was also noted that the majority of citations related to museology were made in recent years, and the most commonly used keyword was "museology." When examining the number of publications over the years, it can be said that research on museology has increased over time. With these results, it can be concluded that the study provides detailed information on the development process of museology.
