Dynamics Of Jambi Province's Economy And Business In The Era Of Open Knowledge: A Bibliometric-Slr Study On The Landscape Of Reputable Global Research And Its Implications

Abstract

n facing the global transition towards an open knowledge economy, Jambi Province
encounters complex challenges such as digital inequality, agrarian governance issues, and
the sustainability of its natural resource-based economy. This study aims to map the
direction, trends, and research gaps in global literature related to regional economic
business dynamics relevant to the context of Jambi, as well as to evaluate their
implications for evidence-based public policy formulation. Employing a Systematic
Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric approach, this study analyzed 123 Scopus
indexed articles (2000–2025), following the PRISMA protocol and utilizing Bibliometrix and
VOSviewer for analysis. The results reveal seven dominant thematic clusters, namely
participatory governance, ecosystem sustainability, agribusiness value chains, agrarian
conflicts, smallholder productivity, socio-ecological transformation, and consumer
preferences for sustainable products. There is a notable gap in the literature concerning
the integration of Jambi’s development strategies based on open information systems,
digitalization of farmer cooperatives, and data-driven cross-sector policy approaches.
Jambi's position in the global research landscape remains marginal, marked by low levels
of international collaboration. This study recommends strengthening open research
ecosystems, fostering triple helix partnerships, and developing regional economic policies
supported by geospatial information systems.
