Abstract

ABSTRACTResearch on sports athletes by Indonesian scholars has grown rapidly, yet a comprehensive understanding of its patterns and directions remains limited. This study aims to map the research landscape using a Scopus-based bibliometric approach. Data were retrieved using the keyword “athlete” in the title, abstract, and keywords with Indonesian affiliations for the period 2010–2026, yielding 1,532 publications. The analysis covered publication trends, source journals, authors, affiliations, document types, and subject areas. The results show a significant increase in publications, particularly after 2018, with journal articles dominating (80.1%) and a concentration in journals such as Retos and International Journal of Human Movement and Sports Sciences. Research contributions are largely dominated by a limited number of authors and institutions, focusing mainly on health professions (27.2%) and medicine (25.0%). Despite rapid growth, gaps remain in contribution distribution, publication quality, and multidisciplinary integration. This study provides a comprehensive overview and a strategic basis for advancing more impactful and globally competitive sports science research. Keywords: Bibliometric analysis, sports athletes, Indonesian scholars, Scopus, research trends ABSTRAKPenelitian tentang atlet olahraga oleh akademisi Indonesia menunjukkan perkembangan yang pesat, namun pemahaman komprehensif mengenai pola dan arah riset masih terbatas.
