Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends on Athlete and Motivation

Wildan Akbar Firdaus, Nurlan Kusmaedi

Abstract


This study utilized bibliometric analysis to examine topics related to "athletes" and "motivation." Data was obtained from articles published between 2019 and 2024. The research strategy in this study involved searching for the current status and trends of research in the field of athletes and motivation through a data screening process. The database used for quantitative analysis was Scopus.com, with the help of the Mendeley application. This research has been developed and structured in accordance with the BIBLIO Checklist for bibliometric reviews of biomedical literature. Each item on the checklist, including title identification, abstract structuring, methodological transparency, data synthesis, and results presentation, has been addressed to ensure clarity, reproducibility, and completeness. The publication trend analysis showed a fluctuating pattern over the decade, with significant peaks in 2020 and 2022, indicating a growing interest in this area of research. In addition, keyword co-occurrence analysis was used to reveal thematic clusters and interrelationships between research topics. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the evolution, trends and collaborations in athlete motivation-related research from 2019 to 2024, providing valuable insights into the interconnectedness of ideas and guiding future research directions. However, limitations such as language bias indicate the need for a broader exploration of the literature and qualitative dimensions to deepen the understanding of athlete motivation.
