Repository UHAMKAA Bibliometric Analysis of Policy-Driven Religious Moderation Education Research in Indonesia: Trends, Evolution, and Research LandscapeAhmadSaibudinauthorLismawtiLismawatiauthorThis study systematically maps the intellectual landscape of religious moderation education in Indonesia by analyzing publication growth, identifying key influential actors, and tracing thematic evolution in order to provide a strategic theoretical framework for inclusive Islamic education policy. A bibliometric approach was employed, analyzing metadata from 149 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025. The results indicate that the discourse has reacheda stage of “policy-driven maturity,” characterized by an exponential increase in publications after 2020, largely in response to national policy mandates. Thematic analysis reveals a core dualism between the “Education Implementation” and “Policy Response” clusters, illustrating how government directives are translated into pedagogical strategies. However, the findings also highlight a pronounced “silo effect” in institutional collaboration, primarily driven by localized and competitively allocated research funding schemes (e.g., BOPTN and Litapdimas), which limit cross-institutional synergy. This study concludes that research on religious moderation in Indonesia is systematically shaped by government policy and contributes significantly to the achievement of SDG 4 (Quality Education). Nevertheless, stronger cross-institutional collaboration is essential to sustain and further develop inclusive educational frameworks.B Philosophy. Psychology.
