Abstract

Pancasila scholarship has expanded into debates on education, law, human rights, digitalization, and sustainability, yet its international structure remains fragmented and strongly centered on Indonesia. This study mapped research trends, collaboration patterns, and emerging themes in Pancasila scholarship from 2017 to 2026 through a bibliometric analysis of 60 English-language journal articles retrieved from Scopus. The corpus was examined through publication and citation analysis, country and author collaboration mapping, and title, keyword, and abstract term analysis using VOSviewer. Publication output increased markedly after 2023 and reached its highest level in 2025. Indonesia dominated the corpus, while participation from other countries remained comparatively limited. The thematic structure was concentrated around Pancasila, education, curriculum, the Pancasila Student Profile, local wisdom, human rights, law, globalization, and global diversity, with newer links to digital citizenship and sustainable development. These patterns suggest an expanding research agenda, but they should be interpreted within the limits of the search query, English-language restriction, and the incomplete 2026 publication year. The study identifies a need for more comparative, cross-national, and methodologically integrated research that positions Pancasila within wider scholarship on citizenship, diversity, human rights, digital transformation, and sustainability.
