Research into the propagation of waves in elastic media is fundamental for understanding how elastic waves perturb particles around their equilibrium positions without causing permanent deformation. Despite its importance in geophysics, materials science, and structural analysis, a consolidated mapping of global research progress in this area remains limited. To address this gap, this study conducts a comprehensive scientometric analysis using the Scopus citation database to quantify and visualize research trends in elastic wave propagation from 2000 to 2024. The methodology was validated by employing robust scientometric tools such as VOS viewer and Biblioshiny to ensure accurate keyword co-occurrence, citation, and collaboration network analyses. Key findings reveal a steady increase in publications, with China, India, the United States, and Italy emerging as leading contributors. Dominant research themes and author networks highlight the dynamic evolution of the field. This study provides an updated roadmap for researchers to identify collaboration opportunities, align their work with emerging topics, and strategically enhance the visibility and impact of future research in wave propagation in elasticity.
