Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative method for the systematic study of academic publications using statistical techniques to reveal trends, impacts, and interrelationships within scholarly work. This paper examines the importance of bibliometric analysis in the humanities and social sciences research, emphasising emerging trends and diverse applications. With the rise in scholarly publications, bibliometric analysis has become a vital instrument for analysing academic literature and enhancing comprehension of research trends and influences. Additionally, this paper focuses on an application of bibliometric analysis using the flow diagram of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guideline, which provides a structured framework for the systematic selection of publication data. VOSviewer is also mentioned in this paper as a software for constructing and visualising bibliometric data and networks. It involves an analysis of citation, bibliographic coupling, co-citation and co-authorship relations, which help to visualise the co-occurrence network relationship of the key terms derived from the extracted publication data. By offering insights into the dynamics of academic knowledge, the outcome of this paper emphasises key essential qualifications for systematic bibliometric analysis to understand the complexities of knowledge creation and dissemination in an interconnected academic world. Overall, this paper clearly presents the transformative role of bibliometric analysis in promoting research innovation and enhancing the understanding of bibliometric analysis as a vital tool in the humanities and social sciences.
