Computational physics chemistry is a branch of chemistry which in its application uses the results of theoretical chemistry. It is then translated into a computer program to be able to calculate the properties of molecules and their changes. Computational chemistry can also simulate large systems such as liquids, gases, liquid crystals, and solids, then apply these programs to real chemical systems. The purpose of this research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis using computational physics chemistry as a case study by combining mapping analysis using VOSviewer software. The bibliometric and descriptive quantitative approach were applied in this research. The data obtained is a search result based on the keyword "computational physics chemistry" in Google Scholar. From the search results, 1000 articles published were found ranging from 2016-2021. The results show that computational physic chemistry research with term study was identified as the most studied in the 2016–2021 period. In conclusion, this study shows the importance of conducting a bibliometric analysis, especially in the field of computational physics chemistry. It is expected that this research can be a reference for future research in conducting and determining research themes.
