Abstract


Pengesahan Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2019 tentang Pekerja Sosial menegaskan status hukum profesi ini di Indonesia, namun basis riset yang menopangnya belum pernah dipetakan secara sistematis walau praktik pekerjaan sosial telah tumbuh sejak 1945. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perkembangan, produktivitas, jejaring kolaborasi, dan peta tema penelitian praktik pekerjaan sosial di Indonesia pada rentang sepuluh tahun terakhir melalui pendekatan bibliometrik deskriptif-kuantitatif. Data ditelusuri dari Google Scholar menggunakan Harzing's Publish or Perish, disaring dan diverifikasi melalui Mendeley, lalu dipetakan menggunakan VOSviewer mengikuti lima tahap tinjauan sistematis. Hasil menunjukkan produktivitas riset terkonsentrasi pada enam peneliti utama yang hampir seluruhnya berafiliasi dengan satu perguruan tinggi, dengan sepuluh klaster kata kunci yang didominasi topik anak, rehabilitasi sosial, kesehatan mental, disabilitas, COVID-19, dan CSR. Tema penelitian bergeser dari isu kelembagaan (2014–2016), pemberdayaan berbasis komunitas (2017–2018), rehabilitasi-keluarga (2019–2020), respons pandemi (2021–2022), hingga isu spesifik seperti green social work dan anak korban kekerasan (2023–2024). Di balik dinamika tersebut, riset pekerjaan sosial Indonesia menghadapi tiga persoalan struktural: kaburnya batas keilmuan akibat luasnya cakupan praktik, jejaring antarpenulis dan antarinstitusi yang lemah, serta rendahnya sitasi akibat minimnya publikasi internasional. Dibandingkan dengan tren global, Indonesia relatif tertinggal dalam internasionalisasi dan standardisasi terminologi.
