The analysis covers publication trends, types, languages, citation analysis, country collaborations, common citation networks, and topic tendencies. The study identifies key authors, their works, and their interactions. A word analysis was conducted to ascertain concepts used in the field, resulting in cognitive maps that show patterns of relationships and cooperation. The evaluation also included national partnerships, journals, authors, publications, and citation sources within the network. The findings are valuable for researchers in pre-service teacher leadership and can serve as a foundation for future studies in this field.
