“…A complex concept, whether a measurable aptitude or a latent potential, many TI researchers have moved from the debate about the nature of talent toward the urgency of identifying and nurturing it. Ultimately, the goal of TI is to purposefully select talents leading to the building of talent pools ( De La Calle-Duran et al, 2021 ; Jooss et al, 2021 , 2022 ), promotion of elite performance ( Allen and Hopkins, 2015 ), development of expertise ( Ackerman, 2014 ; Hambrick et al, 2016 ; Dall Jensen et al, 2020 ; Dixson et al, 2020 ; Philip, 2022 ) and strategic use of talent for economic growth ( Shen, 2017 ; Farndale et al, 2022 ). Hence, TI as well as subsequent talent development and allocation, have consequences for global innovation, technology, science, and economic growth ( Hsieh et al, 2019 ).…”

This paper describes the general status, trends, and evolution of research on talent identification across multiple fields globally over the last 80 years. Using Scopus and Web of Science databases, we explored patterns of productivity, collaboration, and knowledge structures in talent identification (TI) research. Bibliometric analysis of 2,502 documents revealed talent identification research is concentrated in the fields of management, business, and leadership (~37%), sports and sports science (~20%), and education, psychology, and STEM (~23%). Whereas research in management and sports science has occurred independently, research in psychology and education has created a bridge for the pollination of ideas across fields. Thematic evolution analysis indicates that TI has well developed motor and basic research themes focused on assessment, cognitive abilities, fitness, and youth characteristics. Motor themes in management and sports science bring attention to talent management beyond TI. Emerging research focuses on equity and diversity as well as innovation in identification and technology-based selection methods. Our paper contributes to the development of the body of TI research by (a) highlighting the role of TI across multiple disciplines, (b) determining the most impactful sources and authors in TI research, and (c) tracing the evolution of TI research which identifies gaps and future opportunities for exploring and developing TI research and its broader implications for other areas of research and society.
