All articles relevant to LD research have been retrieved using the Web of Science (WoS) database. The journals’ impact factor was taken from the Journal Citation Report (JCR) of the 2019 edition (compiled by Clarivate Analytics) and referred to as IF2019. The Hirsch Index (h-Index) was collected from the database of the most productive writers and organizations. Bibliometric analysis and data matrixes for cocitation, linking, scientific collaboration analysis, co-word analysis, and visualizing bibliometric networks were used by many important bibliometric tools, such as Biblioshiny, ScientoPy, HistCite, BibExcel, and VOSViewer. The study’s key results were that 2647 research papers published in 2016-2020 were the largest number of research papers. Total Global Citation Sources (49465) was the highest in the years 2006-2010. Wiley’s top publisher distributed the highest number of articles (829) on LD with Z9, 15905, U1 is 713, U2 is 10199, and the USA’s highest number of citations is 15493. The most productive city in the USA was Hoboken, with 1,047 articles published. The most important papers on learning disabilities were published in the journal of learning disabilities.
