Abstract

Science is developing rapidly, scientific developments can be seen from research conducted in scientific journals. The development of knowledge can be seen from the trend of research topics and trends at a certain time. Pustakaloka Journal is an accredited journal in the field of library and information science. This research was conducted to determine the trend of library and information scientific research. This study used library research with a bibliometric approach using Co-word analysis using VOSviewer. Based on the results of research in 2019-2022 in the last 4 years, it can be seen that there are 202 keywords and 35 clusters. The ten strongest keywords in the journal Pustakaloka: Journal of  Library and Information Sciences are; Libraries (26), Library Services (20), Librarians (19), College Libraries (16), Information Needs (8), Information Literacy (8), Social Media (8), Literacy Skills (7), Literacy (6 ), Digital Literacy (6). Cluster 1 has the biggest keywords indicating the cluster theme absorbs more attention from writers in the Pustakaloka Journal.

Review

This paper presents a timely bibliometric analysis of research trends within the accredited *Pustakaloka Journal*, focusing on the field of library and information science. Utilizing a robust co-word analysis approach facilitated by VOSviewer, the study aims to map the intellectual landscape of publications from 2019 to 2022. This methodology is well-suited for identifying dominant themes and keyword relationships, offering valuable insights into the journal's scholarly contributions and the evolving interests of its contributing authors over the specified four-year period. The research successfully identifies significant keywords and clusters, providing a clear snapshot of the prevailing topics. With 202 keywords distilled into 35 clusters, the study highlights a strong emphasis on core library science domains. The prominence of terms like 'Libraries,' 'Library Services,' 'Librarians,' and 'College Libraries' alongside more contemporary concepts such as 'Information Literacy,' 'Social Media,' and 'Digital Literacy' indicates a healthy mix of foundational and emerging research areas. The finding that Cluster 1 holds the strongest keywords further suggests a central, highly active research theme, effectively demonstrating the practical application of bibliometric tools to uncover publication patterns. While the abstract clearly outlines the study's scope and key findings, a deeper contextualization and discussion of implications would enhance its value. For instance, explicitly naming and characterizing the theme of Cluster 1, beyond stating its prominence, would provide immediate clarity to the reader. Furthermore, comparing these trends within *Pustakaloka* to broader national or international trends in library and information science could offer a more comprehensive understanding of the journal's position and influence. Future iterations or a more extensive discussion could also explore the drivers behind these identified trends or suggest practical implications for journal editorial policies and researchers in the field.
