Summary/Abstract: The connection between social justice and religion is well established in the literature, with social work researchers often addressing the role of the religious context in developing and promoting social justice. In this context, the present study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of publications in the field of social justice in which religious topics were addressed, between 2014 and 2024. The 1276 documents were extracted from the Web of Science database and analyzed using the Bibliometrix R software package. The results showed that the United States is the country with the largest contribution in this area.In addition, a growing trend toward interdisciplinary research is evident in the interest in social justice-related words (e.g., covid-19 or teachers). The results of this study have the potential to provide a valuable foundation for new approaches to understand the broad concept of social justice.
