The topic of artificial intelligence known as computational intelligence focuses on the research of adaptive processes that facilitate rational behaviour in complicated and ever-changing environments. These processes include the Artificial Intelligence archetypes that can generalise, abstract, discover, and associate as well as learn or adapt to novel contexts. In recent decades, a lot of academics have concentrated on Computational Intelligence, demonstrating that the field has expanded greatly. However, in the last two years, the trend has changed, as evidenced by the decline in number of publications published annually. Computational intelligence, one of artificial intelligence’s dimensions, has recently lost some of its prominence in the modern world as artificial intelligence gains substantial appeal. This is why, it is more important than ever to discover the most prominent and active scholars in the subject, as well as the top journals and academic institutions that are still working on this dimension. In order to undertake this study, bibliometric analysis was undertaken highlighting the main authors, institutions, nations, and journals actively publishing articles on computational intelligence. It was also observed that due to its classification as a subset of artificial intelligence and the increasing amount of study being done in that subject alone, computational intelligence has recently lost ground in terms of research interest and that explains the reason for the declining trend in the study of computational intelligence.
