Abstract

Studies on Special and Inclusive Education have advanced over the past decades. However, in teaching, an immediate and effective application of scientific findings does not always happen. Thus, it is extremely important to have a publication systematization, to facilitate the dissemination and encourage their applications. The objective of this study was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of scientific production in the area of Special and Inclusive Education teaching, using the Web of Science database from 1947 to 2020. The data collected were: number of publications, authors and most prominent journals, countries that most published and main funding agencies. In addition, articles related to the categories educational research and special education were analyzed through meta-synthesis process. As a result, it was possible to identify 10.138 articles in 1.752 sources over almost 73 years, with an annual growth rate of 6.3%. The journal with the largest number of publications in the period was Exceptional Children, the agency that funded most  of the research was the United States Department of Health - Human Services. The countries that published the most were the United States, followed by Brazil, and the author with the largest number of productions was Antonis Katsiyannis. Regarding meta-synthesis, 27 articles were identified, focusing on the use of evidence-based practices. The results found may have implications in the sense of guiding Professors who work with students with SEN, graduate students who are interested in specializing and Researchers who work with the theme and want to establish more prominent networks collaborations.
