The Issue of Microplastics (MPS) in Coastal Area Indonesia: Bibliometric Network Analysis
Summary
This bibliometric analysis reviews microplastic research published on Indonesian coastal areas between 2010 and 2022, identifying key research trends, hotspot locations, and gaps. Indonesia is one of the world's largest plastic polluters, and mapping the state of research helps direct future monitoring and policy efforts.
This research aims to present a comprehensive bibliometric literature evaluation on microplastic in Indonesia. Google Scholar database of articles discovered by the Publishing or Perish (PoP) software. In this study, 151 out of 678 papers retrieved in the Google Scholar database from 2010 to 2022 were evaluated. The selected references were then manually maintained in Excel. After administering the database, the VOSviewer program was used to classify and visualize the data. Overall, this analysis serves as a suitable point of reference for future research on microplastics in Indonesia.

Challenges and Opportunities in Managing Marine Debris: a Case Study of Pancana Village With a Bibliometric Perspective
Researchers combined bibliometric analysis of 2000-2023 marine debris literature with a field case study in Pancana Village, Indonesia, finding that plastic accounts for 78% of coastal debris and that land-based waste is the primary pollution source. The study identifies community-based waste management and policy interventions as key areas for addressing the marine debris crisis.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: State of science and future research directions.
This meta-analysis reviews the state of plastic pollution research in Indonesia, a country identified as one of the top contributors to global plastic waste. The findings highlight significant gaps in data on microplastic contamination in Indonesian waters and ecosystems, which matters because plastic pollution from this region affects global ocean health and the seafood supply chain.
Studi Bibliometrik: Analisis Tren dan Pemetaan Pengetahuan Mikroplastik Serta Dampak Kesehatan di ASEAN: Studi Bibliometrik Berbasis Scopus (2019-2024)
This Indonesian bibliometric study analyzed Scopus publications (2019–2024) on microplastics and health impacts in ASEAN countries to map research trends and knowledge gaps in the region. The analysis found that ASEAN microplastic research has grown substantially but remains limited relative to the region's high plastic pollution burden, and identified aquatic ecosystem contamination and food safety as the dominant themes.
Tracking the plastic footprint: a bibliometric mapping of microplastics research in Asia (2015–2025)
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 3,797 Scopus-indexed Asian microplastics publications from 2015 to 2025, mapping research output, key contributors, and intellectual foundations. They found exponential growth since 2019 with China, India, and Indonesia leading, and identified four core research clusters—environmental occurrence, toxicology, food chain contamination, and remediation—as the field's intellectual pillars in Asia.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: state of science and future research directions to reduce impacts
This meta-analysis maps the current state of plastic pollution research across Indonesia, one of the world's top sources of ocean plastic waste. It identifies which regions and environments have been studied and where major data gaps remain. The findings can guide targeted research and policy interventions to reduce plastic — and microplastic — contamination in one of the most biodiverse marine regions on Earth.
