Abstract: Nowadays, Citizen Participation (CP) has changed our societies and attracted a wide range of researchers, practitioners, and even politicians although few studies have outlined the global research trends in CP. This study conducts a scientometric review of global CP research in 1990-2017 based on the Citizen Participation keyword, through analyzing: i) the productivity of the countries, ii) the most cited publications, and iii) the co-author based on the countries, institutes, and authors. Totally 280 articles from the Science Direct (Elsevier) website were analyzed. The results illustrate that the Arnstein's article A ladder of citizen participation was the most cited publication and that the USA and the University of Kentucky were the most active country and university in the CP research field. In the case of co-author, the European articles with two or more authors from different countries were the most in comparison with others. Furthermore, the number of this kind of research has risen since 2000.
