A bibliometric analysis of materials research in Indonesian journal using VOSviewer

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the scope of research on materials using a bibliometric review and data mapping process. Research data on materials were obtained from databases from selected journals in Indonesia. The search is done using a search engine that contains data on all related journal articles. The search process is based on a topic area with titles, keywords, and abstracts in the study material. The mapping process is done using VOSviewer. A total of 60 relevant articles were found. The results showed that the most studied study material was in the 2016-2021 range. Meanwhile, in the field of chemistry, the “acid” term is the most widely discussed material. Among all contributing countries, Indonesia is the largest country with 43 articles. Indonesia also has the most links with other countries, namely 8 links. Through VOSviewer we analyze how many articles have been published about the material and its relation to the topic area. This review can certainly provide a reference point for further research related to materials.
