AB - This study conducted an exploratory analysis of the knowledge structure and research trends of IFLA LRM (IFLA Library Reference Model) research by combining bibliometric analysis and content analysis. Drawing on 50 international publications from the Web of Science Core Collection and 18 domestic publications from the Korea Citation Index (KCI) published between 2017 and 2025, the study examined research country distribution, keyword co-occurrence networks, temporal changes in research types, and the characteristics of domestic and international research. The results show that IFLA LRM research is concentrated in a small number of countries, including the United States, Italy, Slovenia, and Brazil, and that international collaboration remains limited. The keyword co-occurrence network was divided into four thematic clusters: cataloging rules and bibliographic standards; semantic web and cultural heritage linkage; users and systems; and authority data and bibliographic control. In terms of research types, system and model studies and rules and standards studies were predominant, with a tendency to expand from early concept-oriented research toward system implementation and interoperability-oriented research. Domestic research showed a relatively higher proportion of rules and standards studies, whereas empirical application studies were limited. This study is significant in that it exploratively identifies the early knowledge structure and research flow of IFLA LRM research and compares the characteristics of domestic and international research.
