Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global trends in digital teaching materials for enhancing critical thinking skills from 2016 to 2026. Utilizing data from Scopus and Dimensions databases, the research analyzes publication trends, citation impacts, and thematic evolutions using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. The results reveal an exponential surge in publication volume, particularly post-2020, with Dimensions recording significantly higher data density than Scopus. Geographically, Indonesia dominates productivity in Scopus, while the US and UK lead in collaborative network strength and citation impact. However, co-authorship analysis indicates significant fragmentation, particularly in Scopus-indexed research. The findings suggest that while the field is maturing, there is a critical need for cross-border collaboration and the integration of niche themes like "flipped learning" and "augmented reality" into mainstream pedagogy. This study provides a strategic roadmap for educators and policymakers to design technology-mediated materials that foster higher-order thinking in an AI-driven information ecosystem.
