The objectives of this study are to analyze the types of documents, languages, contributing countries, top affiliates, sponsorship funding, top productive authors, research citations, subject areas, top source titles, trend mapping visualization and top-cited 100 publications, also review some publications on LMS research over 1991-2021 using bibliometric analysis. The metadata gathered is by Scopus database and analyzed by VOSViewer within 2.689 documents. The bibliometric analysis results show LMS research has conference paper being the most widely published document type and English is the most widely used language, the country with the most publications is the United States of America. National Natural Science Foundation of China became the top funding sponsor, the top affiliate is Bina Nusantara University and the most productive authors are Graf, S. Top cited author achieved by Davis, F.D., top subject areas are Computer Science. Then, Lecture Notes In Computer Science Including Subseries Lecture Notes In Artificial Intelligence And Lecture Notes In Bioinformatics became the title of the top source. Trends of LMS research in 1991-2021 are: 1) related to E-learning; 2) implementation of learning activities and students and teachers; 3) integration of technology in learning; 4) distance learning; 5) Technology education; 6) Online learning environment; 7) Interactive learning environment.
