| description | Most people use music to communicate, which highlights their individuality. This bibliometric analysis carries out a literature search using the keyword "music" in the field of "communication" in the Web of Science database. The aim is to assess current publications and research trends related to the use of music in communication. The search results obtained 743 articles from 1999 to 2023 for analysis. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer are used to analyse the collected data. The results reveal that music research in the field of communication has experienced growth over time. Although the concept of music in the field of communication is the dominant focus of this research, the terms "film music" and "popular music" always appear in all period divisions. This means that over a 25-year time frame, the topic tends to attract researchers’ interest in studying this matter. Studies related to "music education" have become more relevant in recent years. A number of reputable journals actively publish documents related to music in the field of communication. Although several documents have shown collaboration between authors from several fields of study, researchers who have expertise in the field of communication tend to dominate this study. These findings can increase understanding of future research developments, both at the local, national and global levels. |
