Bridges have an essential role in a sustainable land transportation in-frastructure. One of the challenges today is the nature of corrosion on the bridge structure. Corrosion due to reaction with the environment can damage the integ-rity of the bridge structure and reduce safety. This study aims to determine the map of the research development on the effects of corrosion on gusset plates with the VOS viewer bibliometric study and literature review. The research was con-ducted over 24 years, from 2000 to 2023, by searching through the Crossref and Scopus databases with the keywords corrosion, bridge structure, and gusset plates. The selected article data was obtained from 285 research articles. The search result articles were then analyzed descriptively, inputted, and analyzed with VOS viewer and a literature review to visualize mapping the development of topics and research subjects on corrosion on gusset plates. The results showed that the number of publications on gusset plate corrosion had increased signifi-cantly yearly. Then, based on the results of the mapping visualization using VOS viewer, the study was divided into 5 clusters. Meanwhile, based on the literature review results, the collaboration between authors is quite well spread. In addition, this paper shows ten primary papers with research topics with the highest cita-tions
