Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the research trends of butterfly pea flowers and collaborations in
various scientific fields are classified along with the trend models that occur. In addition, this study also aims
to determine topics that can be used as research variables in the future. The research method used by the
author is through a bibliometric approach with the initial stage of searching for keywords in the form of
research "butterfly pea flower" through research from publish or perish with the choice of regional
publications using Scopus as the database base within a period of 10 years from 2013 to 2023. The author

visualize ongoing research trends and have research opportunities in the future. The results of this study
showed and found that data analysis related to butterfly pea flowers was divided into 11 clusters with topics
centered on agricultural and biological sciences with a proportion of 28% of the total interdisciplinary
collaborative research. This research is limited to variations of the butterfly pea model from the research
