This study provides a comprehensive analysis of scientific research on common bird species based on zoogeographic regions, continents, country income levels, and research types (species-based, area-based, and diversity-based). The findings reveal that the majority of studies have been conducted in the Palearctic region, with significant research also conducted in the Nearctic, Neotropical, and Indo-Malaysian regions. Geographically, Europe stands out as the continent with the highest volume of research, followed by America, while research in Asia and Africa remains limited. According to the World Bank's classification of country income levels, most research has been conducted in high-income countries (HIC), followed by upper-middle-income countries (UMIC). The scarcity of research in lowand middle-income countries (LMIC) highlights disparities in scientific capacity and resource allocation. From the methodological perspective, species-based studies are the most common type of research, while area-based studies are underrepresented, and diversity-based studies hold a moderate share. These findings emphasize the need to structure scientific research strategies to enhance regional and methodological diversity. Establishing balanced and inclusive research priorities will contribute significantly to the conservation of common bird species, ecosystem sustainability, and the effective management of biodiversity.
