Abstract

This article explores art disciplines, including visual and performing arts, which allow for creative expression and representation. The progress of these disciplines is closely tied to scientific advancements and the spread of knowledge. Bibliometric studies are a valuable tool for evaluating research indicators in various fields, and this study employs bibliometric analysis to assess scientific production in visual and performing arts from 2016 to 2020. The analysis included 173 journals and 373 articles, and the results showed a growing trend in these fields, but the increase was not statistically significant. Additionally, the study found a high rate of documentary production with single authorship, highlighting the need to encourage collaborative networks. The study concludes that the limited collaboration between countries, the unproductive regions, and the lack of collaborative networks for co-authorship have hindered scientific production in visual and performing arts during the 2016-2020 period.
