Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the studies conducted by academics in Turkey on inclusive education in the Scopus database, using the bibliometric analysis method, and to identify trends in inclusive education research. A search was conducted in August 2025 using the words “inclusive education” in the Scopus database. A bibliometric analysis was conducted with 127 articles obtained by following the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion processes in the PRISMA flow chart. According to the research results, the number of studies on inclusive education has increased in the past five years. The studies that examine the learning environments of higher education students with physical disabilities, as well as teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education, have been cited more than a hundred times. The use of the concepts of inclusive education, disability, and teacher attitudes has increased, and in parallel with current developments, concepts such as evidence-based practices and educational technologies have begun to be used. In conclusion, the recent increase in inclusive education studies and their general focus on disability and individuals with disabilities is significant. However, it is critical to expand the scope of inclusive education to include every individual, including those with disabilities, so that all individuals can benefit equally from the right to education.
