Citation analysis, productivity analysis, and collaborative analysis are three types of analysis that are commonly used in bibliometric articles in the LPP. The research recommendation provides a comprehensive overview of the development of publications, particularly bibliometrics, which can be used by researchers and journal managers to determine the direction of future journal topics. For further research, researchers can conduct a systematic literature review to delve deeper into the subject.
