Global Research Trends In Research Capacity Building And Scientific Publication: A Bibliometric Analysis And Implications For Police Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

This study analyzes global research trends related to training, scientific publication, and research capacity building using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database using keywords related to training, publications, and capacity building. A total of 200 international journal articles were analyzed using VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel to identify publication trends, keyword relationships, collaboration networks, and research developments. The findings show that research on training, publications, and capacity building has increased significantly in recent years and developed as a multidisciplinary research area related to higher education, research productivity, professional competence, and academic development. Keyword visualization demonstrates strong relationships between training, publication, and capacity building, indicating that research training and academic capacity development play important roles in improving scientific publication productivity. The collaboration analysis also reveals that the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and several European countries dominate international research networks, while Indonesia has started to participate in global collaboration. This study contributes to the literature by providing a bibliometric overview of the development of research on training, publications, and capacity building. The findings also offer strategic implications for police higher education institutions in strengthening research culture, international collaboration, and scientific publication capacity toward world-class academic institutions.
