Abstract :Consumer innovativeness is an emerging research area in gastronomy. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the evolution of trends in consumer innovativeness since its inception and highlight the importance of consumer innovativeness in gastronomy and culinary arts. To achieve this, 152 academic studies published Scopus database between 1974 and 2024 with the term “consumer innovativeness” in their titles were analyzed. The articles were analyzed using multidisciplinary document co-citation analysis and R Studio-Biblioshiny software to identify the theoretical foundations, research topics, contexts, and methodologies of previous studies. The study examined the number of articles by year, most cited articles and authors, journals with the highest publication volume on the subject, citation counts for these journals, authors\' contributions to the consumer innovativeness literature, common citation networks, countries with the highest publication output and collaboration, word clouds, common word networks, and the findings obtained. The study’s findings contribute to the general understanding of the current literature on consumer innovativeness and suggest future research areas.
