Abstract

Plate presentation in gastronomy has become a prominent topic in research, reflecting the growing emphasis on the aesthetic dimension of food. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of its importance and development by reviewing published research. Data were analyzed bibliometrically using VOSviewer (v1.6.20) within eight parameters: publication types, keyword co-occurrences, yearly publication distribution, international co-authorship, index types, inter-author collaboration, publishing journals, and co-citation relationships. Analysis of 105 studies showed that most publications were articles, particularly concentrated in 2018 and 2019. The first study appeared in 1994, and “Plating” was the most frequent keyword. Most studies were indexed in SCI-E, with Appetite as the most preferred journal. Additionally, the majority of publications were in English, while the US was central both in publication volume and collaborations. These findings are expected to provide a new perspective on plate presentation research.
