Abstract
This study aims to provide a comprehensive knowledge map to the literature review on crowdfunding in education based on scientific articles published in the Web of Science citation database. For this purpose, a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis using R-based Biblioshiny were used. First, the systematic review was used to identify relevant studies. Bibliometric analysis was used to obtain an overview of the field over time, as well as other research trends in the field. The study provides an overview of research, influential authors, sources, institutions, and countries. In addition, the study presents a knowledge map in the field of education crowdfunding, with an indication of the most productive research topics and their evolution over time. Recommendations for future research in this field were uncovered by qualitative content analysis.
