We conducted a bibliometric and content analysis of publication in the Scopus database. We only retrieved articles written in English. We conducted content analysis using the VOSviewer software and visualized the co-occurrence of keywords and bibliographic coupling of sources and countries. Following the study protocol, we found 1342 articles on gender mainstreaming over the past 27 years. The most productive journal that published these articles was Gender and Development (n=34). The post productive country were United Kingdom (n=243), respectively. Based on cititations, the most influential authors, and journals were True J., Mintrom M.
