BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE VARIABLES IN PALM OIL PRODUCTION MODELS: TRENDS AND INTELLECTUAL LANDSCAPES
ANALISIS BIBLIOMETRI PEMBOLEH UBAH ALAM SEKITAR DAN PERUBAHAN IKLIM DALAM MODEL PENGELUARAN MINYAK SAWIT: TREND DAN LANDSKAP INTELEKTUAL
Abstract
Abstract
Palm oil is one of the most important global commodities, yet its production is often linked to deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate vulnerability. This raises the need to examine how environmental and climate-related factors are integrated into production efficiency models. Motivated by these sustainability concerns, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis of research published between 1989 and 2024 using the Scopus database. Bibliometric mapping techniques were applied to assess publication trends, citation impacts, co-authorship networks, and thematic shifts in the literature. The results show a consistent growth in research output, with a marked increase after 2017, reflecting heightened global attention to sustainability and climate resilience. While Malaysia and Indonesia dominate in publication volume, European and Australian institutions achieve higher citation impacts, often focusing on regulatory policies and mitigation strategies. Interdisciplinary collaboration remains limited, and systematic modelling of variables such as drought resilience and carbon sequestration is often absent. Thematic evolution highlights a transition from waste and pollution management (2006–2010) to sustainability and climate adaptation strategies (2018–2024). This study highlights key research gaps and emphasizes the need for stronger interdisciplinary collaboration, climate-resilient models, and policy-driven innovations to advance sustainable palm oil production.

Abstrak
Minyak sawit merupakan salah satu komoditi global yang paling penting, namun pengeluarannya sering dikaitkan dengan masalah penebangan hutan, pelepasan gas rumah hijau, dan kerentanan terhadap perubahan iklim. Hal ini menimbulkan keperluan untuk meneliti bagaimana faktor alam sekitar dan iklim diintegrasikan ke dalam model kecekapan pengeluaran. Didorong oleh kebimbangan terhadap kelestarian ini, kajian ini menjalankan analisis bibliometrik terhadap penyelidikan yang diterbitkan antara tahun 1989 hingga 2024 menggunakan pangkalan data Scopus. Teknik pemetaan bibliometrik digunakan untuk menilai tren penerbitan, impak sitasi, rangkaian kerjasama pengarang, dan peralihan tema dalam literatur. Hasil kajian menunjukkan pertumbuhan berterusan dalam output penyelidikan, dengan peningkatan ketara selepas tahun 2017, mencerminkan tumpuan global yang semakin meningkat terhadap kelestarian dan daya tahan iklim. Walaupun Malaysia dan Indonesia mendominasi dari segi jumlah penerbitan, institusi dari Eropah dan Australia mencatatkan impak sitasi yang lebih tinggi, dengan penekanan kepada dasar peraturan dan strategi mitigasi. Kerjasama antara disiplin masih terhad, dan pemodelan sistematik bagi pemboleh ubah seperti daya tahan terhadap kemarau dan penyerapan karbon sering diabaikan. Evolusi tema menunjukkan peralihan daripada pengurusan sisa dan pencemaran (2006–2010) kepada strategi kelestarian dan penyesuaian iklim (2018–2024). Kajian ini menekankan jurang penyelidikan utama dan menegaskan keperluan untuk memperkukuh kerjasama antara disiplin, membangunkan model yang berdaya tahan iklim, serta mendorong inovasi berasaskan dasar bagi memajukan pengeluaran minyak sawit yang mampan.
