Objective: This study provides a bibliometric analysis of risk management research in educational institutions over the last two decades, examining global research trends, key contributors, and prominent thematic areas. Methods: Using the Scopus database, the study analyzed publications from 2003 to 2023 related to risk management in educational institutions. The analysis identified the top contributing countries, institutions, and authors, as well as the most frequently occurring research terms. Results: The United States was the leading contributor, accounting for 42% of the total research output, followed by Russia and the United Kingdom. The University of Florida and Kazan Federal University were among the top institutions contributing to this field. Manuel Alonso Castro emerged as the most influential author. Key research themes included disaster risk reduction, public health, climate change, and digital learning, reflecting the evolving challenges faced by educational institutions. Conclusion: The analysis highlights the global importance of risk management in educational institutions, with a growing emphasis on addressing emerging risks such as climate change and public health crises. Future research should expand to include regional studies and grey literature to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this critical area.
