RESEARCH ON MICROPLASTICS (MPS) IN INDONESIA: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS 2011-2022 AS SUSTAINABLE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) are an issue in both natural and manufactured fisheries. Microplastics research is one of the most rapidly growing areas of study in the world of science to date. This study describes and analyzes the results of microplastic research in Indonesia that were published in the form of scholarly papers between 2011 and 2022 based on the Web of Science (WoS) database’s research articles. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore research trends regarding microplastics in marine Indonesia. This study used VOSviewer to analyze collaboration networks among authors and institutions, as well as co-occurrence analysis of keywords in three defined periods. A total of 46 papers on research microplastics in Indonesia were identified. The most influential microplastics in marine ecosystem research publications are Marine Pollution Bulletin, Chemosphere, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, and Environmental Technology Innovation. The valuable results obtained from this study can help scholars better understand the research development trends and research hotspots in the field of microplastic pollution in the marine ecosystem and provide direction for future research.
