Collaborative Governance in Increasing Original Regional Income

This research, titled Collaborative Governance in Increasing Original Regional Income (A Bibliometric Approach to Research Development), aims to uncover research trends on collaborative governance through a bibliometric study approach. The primary objective is to identify scientific publications that contribute to studies on collaborative governance, particularly in the context of enhancing Regional Original Income (ROI). The researcher retrieved documents from the Scopus database, focusing on the subject of social sciences and using the VOSviewer application for data processing. The initial search resulted in 2,856 documents, which were filtered down to 48 articles related to collaborative governance in the field of Government Science. The bibliometric analysis highlights that the majority of collaborative governance research is conducted within the social sciences, emphasizing its importance in government functions and policy implementation, especially in efforts to increase regional income. A noticeable peak in research output occurred in 2022, with 231 articles published, indicating a growing interest in this field. This study also maps the geographical distribution of research, revealing that the United States, the UK, and China are the leading contributors, while Indonesia has not yet entered the top ten, presenting opportunities for further development in this area. Collaborative governance research often intersects with policy networks, which are crucial for addressing governance challenges in public administration. The study suggests that increasing collaborative governance research in Indonesia could significantly contribute to both the academic field of Government Science and practical policy-making.
