The importance of scientific journals in publishing research findings is
essential to the advancement of science. one of which involves using library
research, specifically through bibliometric analysis, is the process of

scientific papers that have been published. The aim of this study is to evaluate
the strength of the connection between religion and culture using academic
journal articles. The research approach in this study makes use of
bibliometric analysis by processing Google Scholar-sourced research data
with the VosViewer and Harzing or Perish programs. The results of this
study provide information that of the 200 samples observed, there are 163
samples that are relevant to the topic of research on religious and cultural
relations during the 2010-2023 period. The results of the analysis found that
research related to religion and culture is very much carried out but is still
focused on Islam as the object of research. This is because Islam is the
majority religion in Indonesia so that future researchers can use other
religious object approaches to get different results.
