Memetakan Lanskap Sufisme di Indonesia: Analisis Bibliometrik terhadap Tren Penelitian Global dan Implikasinya bagi Studi Lokal

Sufism, as a path for Muslims to draw closer to Allah, has shaped Islamic spirituality. In a broader sense, mysticism encompasses supernatural and transcendental aspects, potentially fostering peace through tolerance. This study aims to map the patterns and models of Sufistic research relevant to Indonesia by employing a bibliometric analysis of global research trends in Islamic mysticism. Utilizing the Scopus database with the search criteria "Islam AND Mysticism" for publications between 2014 and 2024, a total of 188 scientific documents were analyzed. While the initial dataset is global, this study focuses on identifying trends, authors, institutions, and thematic clusters that illuminate the landscape of Sufism studies concerning Indonesia. The findings reveal significant contributions from Indonesian authors and institutions, as well as thematic concentrations on historical and regional aspects like the "Sunda Islands," indicating specific "patterns" of Sufistic inquiry related to Indonesia. This research contributes by offering an overview of these patterns, thereby assisting in understanding the specific characteristics and developmental directions of Sufism studies in the Indonesian context.
