This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis

of Indonesia's contemporary business literature. The

procedure looks for patterns and trends in published

content using statistical analysis and quantitative

analysis. This method can also be used to gain a

broad understanding of a subject, spot knowledge

gaps, and guide further research, [14]. SCOPUS

investigations, two primary methodologies are

frequently used, [14]: performance analysis and

science mapping. Performance analysis is used to

assess the contributions of multiple researchers to a

certain subject, whereas science mapping is used to

investigate the relationships between these

publications.
