The Descriptive Analysis and Bibliometric Mapping of IJDEEL Journal

Abstract

The fast changes in student profiles and instructional settings that technological improvements have brought about are becoming increasingly apparent. The purpose of this study is to catalogue the most-cited research articles and authors in IJDEEL and to find out how often each type of article is published each year. Furthermore, the study delves into the citation frequency of IJDEEL by year, examines the distribution of keywords in abstracts and titles, and delves into the writers who have made significant contributions through co-authorship. Finding trends in articles published in the IJDEEL journal from 2015 to 2023 was the goal of this study, which used descriptive analysis, a quantitative research method. This research aimed to determine which writers had the most significant impact on the IJDEEL journal by analysing the keywords published in the journal and determining how often specific keywords appeared in the abstract and title fields using the bibliometric mapping method. The analysis revealed that IJDEEL frequency peaked around 2020. That interval could imply intellectual activity or a reaction. These high citations indicate that the 2021 IJDEEL research has a lasting impact on academia and actively contributes to intellectual discussion. The prominent keywords are COVID-19, learning, distance learning, and ICT, indicating more significant interest in e-learning and online education. The coauthorship analysis demonstrates the excellent rapport of the IJDEEL researchers. Field knowledge improves with teamwork. The study examines IJDEEL's publication trends, citation impact, subject focus, and collaborations. It shows the ever-changing distance education and elearning research contexts.
