The study analyzes 161 theoretical and experimental research papers published between 2006 and 2016 through the utilization of both qualitative and quantitative indicators. Citation analysis is used in this research in order to examine studies related to infographics that are indexed in scientific journals. Infographics and data visualization related keywords are jointly used in the search for documents. As a result of this research, it can be seen that the number of citations and the number of research papers significantly increased in 2016 and also the result allows the researchers to specify the attributes of the contents of the scientific journals. In future research, it is recommended that the citation analysis method is combined with other types of analysis.
