Abstract
Statistical reasoning skills are essential for students, especially when processing statistical data. Without statistical reasoning, students will experience difficulties interpreting and concluding data. This study aims to map the research landscape on statistical reasoning by reviewing publication trends, prominent authors, influential journals, and key topics developing in this field. The methodology was a systematic review with PRISMA guidance, complemented by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software and R Studio-Bibliometrix. The selected years are 2005 to 2025. The analysis results show a significant increase in 2023, but in 2025 there will be a decrease because the year of analysis is still 2025. The search is based on article titles, abstracts, and keywords. A study was conducted on 180 relevant articles to investigate educational statistical reasoning. VOSviewer is used to see visualizations of the relationship between keywords; R Studio is used to see more trending trends. Software Publish or Perish Harzing is also used for citation analysis. The results indicate that the United States is the most prolific country in this field, with 65 publications out of 180 articles analyzed. At the same time, the most prolific author is Ben-Zvi, D., with eight articles. This study contributes significantly to understanding the scientific map of statistical reasoning. It is an initial reference for researchers and educators designing evidence-based research and policies for the future.
