Abstract: A bibliometric analysis of 309 publications related to Education 4.0 published in both Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases has been conducted to analyze the development of this research field since the first articles published in 2017. Although being an emerging field, the number of publications increased quickly. Scholars from developing countries (i.e., Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, and Philippines) are among the most productive authors, but internal and cross-country collaborations between them are very limited. Quality of the publication collection is not high as within the top ten most popular journals, five journals are not qualified to the Scopus database since 2020, and only three journals belong to the WoS core collections. Research topics related to Education 4.0 can be classified into five main clusters, including application of modern technologies on Education 4.0, effects of Industry 4.0 on teaching and learning activities, Education 4.0 in engineering education, education innovations in Education 4.0, and empirical research and quantitative analyses using questionnaires on different aspects of Education 4.0.
