The study tracks research trends, key contributors, and the geographical distribution of gender studies across various disciplines using data from academic publications spanning from 1981 to 2020. This study maps out the key trends in gender-related research, identifying influential scholars, journals, and regions where gender studies are most actively pursued. It also illustrates how the academic discourse has shifted from addressing gender inequality towards a more nuanced understanding of equity-based solutions. The findings indicate that while progress has been made in policy development and gender equality research, significant gaps remain in achieving true equity, especiallyfor marginalized gender groups in the Global South. This bibliometric analysis underscores the importance of integrating gender equity into future research and policy frameworks to ensure that gender justice is fully realized. As scholarly interest continues to grow, particularly in intersectional approaches to gender studies, there is a critical need for continued focus on equity to create fairer, more inclusive societies.

Introduction In the context of gender studies and bibliometric analysis, it's important to clarify the differences between gender inequality, gender equality, and gender equity, while examining how these concepts are reflected in academic literature over time (Dang, 2024; Nicolis-Martinez, L6pez- Martinez, & Riquelme-Perea, 2024). Gender inequality refers to the unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender (Shoaib, 2024a). It often manifests in disparities in access to resources, rights, and opportunities across various sectors, including education, health, politics, and employment (Shoaib, 2024b). The study on gender inequality focus on documenting instances and effects of discrimination, often looking at wage gaps, disparities in leadership roles, and access to education and healthcare (Shoaib, Latif, & Usmani, 2013).
