Bibliometric analysis and visualization of state administrative law in Scopus database from 2017–2021

Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to look at the bibliometric trends in state administrative law articles. Then this study uses VOSviewer analysis which aims to analyze publication trends in the form of bibliometric maps collected from the Scopus database. The research findings show that there are 196 articles on state administrative law published in Scopus indexed journals between 2017 and 2021. In terms of document types by year, research documents on state administrative law only increased significantly in 2020. In the type of document based on the author, the author Hoffman is the author with the most documents. In document types by affiliation, research publications from Maria Curie University-Skłodowska are the top document producers. In terms of document types by country, the United States is the top document producer. In the types of documents based on subject, research is dominated by social sciences. Whereas for document types based on citations, articles in 2017–2019 are the results of publications with the most citations. The implications of this research are related to the emphasis on aspects of collaboration and integration in the research partnership system by state administrative law researchers at universities on various continents, especially the Asian continent. Furthermore, this research still has limitations because it only analyzes documents in the Scopus database in 2017–2021. Therefore, we suggest that further research be carried out from a wider range in order to emphasize the need for increased attention to the field of state administrative law.
