esearch on missing data was initiatedin1960and the study on this topicgrew exponentially acrossvarioussubject areas since then.Therefore, this study aims to analyze those studies, specificallyjournal articles publishedin the context of missing data.Scopus databaseand analysis tools wereutilized to retrieve all available journal articles related tomissing dataand its data. Next, due to the large number of articles foundin the Scopus database, its informationcan only be efficiently extracted and combined using Mendeley software.To further obtained insights on the extractedinformation, VOSviewer was used to obtain network visualization and overlay visualization on authors’ keywordand citation metrics was obtained using HarzingPublish or Perish software. Additionally, the growth of publication, languages used, subject area, countriesinvolved,and publication activity were also presented using bibliometric analysis. In total, 6227journal articles werefound. The recordshows thata drastic increment of research in missing data happened in 2016, with 446publications compared to 361 in 2015. Most of the articleswere affiliated with researchers in the United States and werewritten mainly in English. Mathematics, decision sciences, medicine, and computer scienceare four subject areas that have high number of articles. It is expected that thepublications on this topic will increase significantly in 2020 due to its research trend that is currently blooming in the area of medicine and thereforeleadtopotential directions for future research
