BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS: E-BOOK AND READING COMPREHENSION IN EFL IN THE LAST DECADE

This study examined the analysis of e-books and reading comprehension in EFL in the last ten years. Academics have teaching-learning procedures. In learning one of the skills required in education is reading. Reading is necessary for students' personal and academic development, and reading comprehension is also essential. Reading comprehension is a student's understanding of a text's meaning and value. One learning media that may increase students' reading comprehension in the classroom is the e-book. An E-book is an electronic version of a printed book. The study employs bibliometrics to assess a research trend. This analysis utilizes Scopus information from 2012 to 2022 using PoP, VosViewer examines the metadata, and Tableau Public visualizes the VosViewer findings. This analysis reveals publishing trends, most cited authors and articles, journal rank, publication categories, article pages, nations, and keywords. This study discovered that the map from 29 datasets has 117 terms and 85 items, 13 clusters, and 263 links with 265 link strengths. Some keywords have big circles, such as "English," "Comprehension," "E-book," and "effect," which are the keywords that occur most in the thirteen clusters formed. Each cluster shows a trend with the emergence of numerous keywords that are more distinctive to each cluster. In addition, the keyword "e-book" and "reading comprehension" is also related to the keyword "EFL learners," which is the focus analysis of this study. It shows that keywords are significant research points for e-books and EFL reading comprehension. However, the research has significant drawbacks. The researchers need thus do further investigations
