Ecolinguistics is a relatively new discipline. This article intended to analyze the Trend Of Ecolinguistic Research During The Last Decade by Bibliometric Analysis. The scope of this study was to look at ecolinguistic studies from 2012 to 2021 using Scopus databases. The researcher chooses Scopus because Scopus is a database of scholarly journal titles, and it is the largest abstract and citation database of peerreviewed literature. It provides bibliometric analysis, including global and local metrics for authors, papers, journals, institutions, and country comparisons. The keywords (“ecolinguistic*” OR “language and ecology”) were entered into the “topic” sections, and 186 studies were reached (February 16, 2022). The aims of this research are to know which publications (including journal articles, proceedings, books, and book chapters) and organization have been most highly cited in Ecolinguistic research throughout the year, who is the most cited authors in in Ecolinguistic research publication throughout the year and which countries have been most productive in Ecolinguistic research publication throughout the year. The result shows that the researcher can conclude that the United Kingdom and Australia have the most significant Ecolinguistic publications compared to 44 other countries. However, based on the network visualization of co-authorship countries, the Ecolinginguistic publications from the two countries were from 2016 to 2018, while the country with the minor Ecolinguistic publication was from 2020 to date (see yellow nodes). The network visualization of countries coauthorship above is set with a minimum number of documents of a country are 1 of the 46 countries with 9 clusters.
