There have been policies implemented related to religious moderation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia for several years. As with any policy, there have been various responses, especially from academics. Academics usually respond to policies through writing or research, which is mostly published in digital format nowadays. This study aims to analyze the publication of religious moderation through bibliometric analysis using the VOSViewer software. The dataset of the study includes 827 publications from repositories at 5 PTKIN in Indonesia. The objectives of the study include analyzing and explaining the visualization of publication maps related to religious moderation written by academics from different religious universities and public universities. The mapping visualization includes aspects of the discussed theme, type of publication, the productivity of the author, the affiliated institution or college of the author, and the relationship between publications and the collaboration between authors on religious moderation. This study shows that digital publications on religious moderation at PTKI Indonesia are still relatively small, with percentages between 0.24% and 0.69% but the number of digital publications has been steadily increasing between 2014 and 2023. For data Co-Accurance in the form of keywords complete with their frequency of appearance are Religious Tolerance and Moderation, both have a link strength value that is greater than other keywords "religious tolerance", "Moderation", "Religious Harmony", “Moderate”, “interreligious harmony”, and “religious freedom".
