Bibliometric Analysis, Business Law, Job Creation Law, Research TrendsAbstract
This study maps and analyzes the development of Indonesian business law research following the enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, which significantly reshaped the national regulatory landscape and generated extensive academic debate. Despite growing scholarly attention, there remains limited empirical evidence systematically examining thematic trends, influential publications, and emerging research directions in this field. Using a bibliometric approach, this study analyzes 187 Scopus-indexed publications published between 2021 and mid-2024. Bibliometric indicators, including citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence, and network visualization, were examined using VOSviewer to identify dominant themes, leading journals, and research clusters. The findings reveal that research has grown steadily, with fintech regulation, micro and small enterprise governance, halal business, and banking law emerging as dominant themes. The International Journal of Law and Management was identified as the most influential publication outlet. The analysis also highlights emerging scholarly attention to Perseroan Perorangan as a new legal entity introduced by the Job Creation Law, while areas such as consumer protection and insolvency remain underexplored. This study contributes to the literature by providing the first comprehensive bibliometric mapping of Indonesian business law research in the post-Job Creation Law era. The findings offer valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and regulators in understanding research trajectories, identifying gaps, and supporting evidence-based legal development to enhance regulatory effectiveness and sustainable business governance in Indonesia.
