Citation Analysis of Research in Informatics Based on Co-Classification Universitas Katolik Musi Charitas

Science of all fields, including informatics, may grow continuously from year to year. Department of Informatics
experienced a change in the naming in which it was previously Department of Informatics Engineering.
Informatics Engineering is one of the departments at Sekolah Tinggi Teknik Musi (Musi Engineering Higher
Education) which was established in 2004. In 2015 the department changed its name to Informatics after Musi
Charitas became a university. Informatics is one of departments at Faculty of Science and Technology, Universitas
