Bibliometric Analysis of the Development of Women's Entrepreneurship Literature in Indonesia

Introduction

Bibliometric analysis of the development of women's entrepreneurship literature in indonesia. Bibliometric analysis of Indonesian women's entrepreneurship research (2000-2025). Reveals key trends, themes, and collaborations informing policy for economic development.

Abstract

Women’s entrepreneurship has gained recognition as a critical factor in promoting inclusive economic development, particularly in emerging economies such as Indonesia. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of scholarly publications on women’s entrepreneurship, focusing on trends, thematic structures, and collaboration networks from 2000 to 2025. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed through VOSviewer, the study maps co-authorship patterns, co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrence clusters, and temporal evolution of research themes. The findings highlight dominant scholars, countries, and themes such as gender roles, empowerment, entrepreneurial intention, and sustainability. The overlay and density visualizations indicate a growing shift toward system-level and empowerment-related topics in recent years. However, the analysis also reveals underrepresentation of Indonesian research in global discourse. The study concludes by recommending greater international collaboration, diverse methodologies, and deeper contextual engagement to enrich the field and inform effective policy interventions.

Review

This paper presents a timely and highly relevant bibliometric analysis of scholarly publications concerning women’s entrepreneurship in Indonesia. By systematically utilizing data from the Scopus database and VOSviewer, the authors have meticulously mapped the intellectual landscape of this critical field from 2000 to 2025. The study's focus on an emerging economy like Indonesia is particularly valuable, offering a granular understanding of regional dynamics within the broader discourse on inclusive economic development. This rigorous approach effectively uncovers key trends, thematic structures, and collaboration networks, providing a robust foundation for understanding the field's evolution. The analysis effectively identifies dominant scholars, countries, and recurring themes such as gender roles, empowerment, entrepreneurial intention, and sustainability, which together define the core concerns of researchers in this domain. A particularly insightful finding is the observed shift towards system-level and empowerment-related topics in recent years, as indicated by overlay and density visualizations, offering crucial intelligence on the evolving research agenda. By mapping co-authorship patterns, co-citation networks, and keyword co-occurrence clusters, the study sheds significant light on the intellectual backbone and influential actors shaping the field's development. A critical takeaway from this comprehensive analysis is the revealed underrepresentation of Indonesian research in the global discourse on women’s entrepreneurship. This highlights a significant challenge but also presents a clear opportunity for growth. Consequently, the study's recommendations for fostering greater international collaboration, adopting diverse methodologies, and encouraging deeper contextual engagement are highly pertinent and actionable. These suggestions not only provide a clear roadmap for enriching the academic field of women's entrepreneurship in Indonesia but also promise to inform more effective policy interventions, thereby making a substantial contribution to both scholarly understanding and practical development.
