Based on the SCOPUS database, the study shows the results of a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications related to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from 2013–2023. The study covers 8528 papers and is intended to understand research trends and the geographic diversity of publications. This paper uses the bibliometrix tool, an R language package for bibliometric analysis. The results show that the most significant number of publications come from India and China, which also have high citation rates. Keyword analysis reveals that there has been increased interest in remote sensing, land use, urban planning, urbanization, environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and diagnostics of water quality and flood-prone areas in recent years. The survey provides valuable information on the direction of research related to Geographic Information Systems and points to the need for greater integration and cooperation in international research.
