Abstract

This study aims to conduct a scientometric analysis of the publications in the journal Comparative Interpretation Studies, a leading scholarly journal in the field of comparative studies of religious, philosophical, and cultural texts. Analyzing scientific data from this journal helps identify research trends, thematic orientations, and evaluate the performance of authors and affiliated institutions. The main objectives include examining the growth trend of articles, analyzing co-occurrence of keywords and co-authorship networks, identifying frequent terms, thematic clusters, and prolific institutions and researchers. Data were collected from the ISC database and analyzed using Excel and Bibliometrix software. Methods used include co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence network analysis. The results indicate that the number of published articles increased from 2015 to 2019, then stabilized and declined by 2024. The term “interpretation” appeared at the center of the keyword network, highlighting its centrality in the research. Other prominent clusters included concepts like “Quran” and “comparative interpretation.” Most articles were co-authored, and research themes have recently shifted toward cultural and Quranic subjects. These findings reveal diversity in topics and a rise in collaborative research efforts. Finally, the study recommends using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods in future research to expand upon these findings.
