This research analyzes publication trends and the relationships between research topics in population administration. The five main aspects studied are the distribution of articles per year, publication trends based on country affiliation, publication trends based on institutional affiliation, the number of citations per article, and the relationship between research topics. The results show fluctuations in the number of publications per year, with a peak occurring in 2019, reflecting an increased interest during that period. Indonesia has emerged as a major contributor to publications, highlighting the importance of this topic in the country, particularly concerning the challenges in managing population data. Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) has become the institution with the most publications, demonstrating a strong focus on this research. Citation analysis shows that older articles tend to have a greater impact, although newer articles may take time to be recognized. The relationship between the research topics shows a close connection between technological innovation, public services, and policy implementation in population administration. In conclusion, although there has been progress, there are still challenges in sustainability and equitable distribution of research, necessitating further collaboration and innovation to enhance impact in this field. ©2025 The authors.
