A bibliometric analysis of 1,950 articles from the journal Mindfulness (2012–2022) reveals significant growth in annual publication volume, with research progression divided into three phases. The United States leads in publication output, researcher involvement, and institutional contributions. Keyword co-occurrence and reference co-citation analyses identify five main research clusters: mindfulness, meditation, depression, stress, and self-compassion. Mindfulness research in Taiwan's educational sector remains underdeveloped, highlighting a need for increased support in diverse thematic areas.
