The study aimed to systematically analyze Gender Equality in Physics Education (GEPE) using bibliometric analysis. In line with the primary objective of the research, GEPE-related publications were accessed through the Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS databases. Data analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel, the VOSviewer software package, WoS and Scopus analytical tools, and the Bibliometrix application. The study gathered information on the general trends, authors, citations, co-authorship, co-occurrence of keywords, and co-citation patterns in publications related to GEPE. The results revealed that the most productive country in this field is the USA, the most active institution is the University of Pittsburgh, and the most influential source is “Women in Physics.” Regarding authorship, “Singh, C.” was identified as the author with the most publications. The most cited authors were those who co-authored the publication titled “The Construction of Physics as a Quintessentially Masculine Subject: Young People’s Perceptions of Gender Issues in Access to Physics.” Analysis of research networks showed that the most frequently used keywords in the publications were “gender”, “gender equality”, and “women in physics”, respectively. It is believed that all findings obtained from this study will contribute to future original research on gender equality in the context of physics education.
