Bibliometric analysis of digital library in Indonesia 2014-2024 using Biblioshiny Bibliometrix
Abstract
Introduction. This study understands the development of digital libraries in Indonesia in the 2014-2024 period using bibliometrics, along with the rapid internet penetration and the increasing number of digital libraries in Indonesia which have changed the way people access information.
Data Collection Methods. This is a quantitative approach with a bibliometric analysis based on the Scopus bibliographic dataset with 162 publications with a keyword filtering process.
Data Analysis. This is a bibliometric analysis using Biblioshiny Bibliometrix.
Results and Discussion. This study shows that despite fluctuations, digital library research in Indonesia has increased, especially in 2017 and 2021, reflecting growing awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on "digital libraries" and related topics like "systematic literature review", "e-learning" and "library services". These themes are supported by key researchers from Ganesha University of Education, Bina Nusantara University, and the University of Indonesia.
Conclusion. Digital library research in Indonesia continues to develop from year to year, still focusing on the topics of digital libraries, e-learning, and library services, with authors collaborating and developing new topics in this area. Suggestions for further research include thematic evolution analysis and references spectroscopy to better illustrate the development of this topic.
