This document will submitted to Journal Information. This paper is one of the main output of our P3MI project at ITB. The following research also appear here as an abstract and slides: Making a visual research landscape of surface water and groundwater interactions (1980 - 2017) using free online tools (https://osf.io/preprints/inarxiv/kq5a7/ ) and Current status of hydrogeological research - ITB-Tohoku joint seminar (https://osf.io/preprints/inarxiv/dum64/)---Surface water is closely linked to unconfined groundwater, especially in Indonesia, where shallow aquifers are mostly composed of unconsoli- dated layers. To put Indonesia’s research on surface water and ground- water interactions in to perspective, we did a scientometric study based on literature search using VosViewer and Scopus database. We analyzed a corpus of 281 papers to extract the hidden pattern of information us- ing text mining algorithm. There are five clusters of subtopic that we gained from the dataset: modeling/simulation, contamination, water bal- ance, and climate-land use. We also find multiple gaps in the literature that mostly related to local geological settings. Based on that, we endorse Indonesia authors to start looking at the unique socio-economic and bio- geophysical features, and report it in form of scientific papers/reports and disseminate their key points online to get more international atten- tion. Based on the results, we also push Indonesian scientific community to lead more international collaboration to promote local distinctive fea- tures using widespread collaboration tools online. Given the lack of fund- ing, we also promote the usage of free and open source tools for any kinds of research initiatives.
