Abstract

This paper explores the evolution of research on indigenous land from 2000 to 2025, addressing the gap in understanding academic trends, focus, and researcher collaboration. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from Scopus, covering 1,342 English-language research papers. The results reveal several key findings: the number of publications on indigenous land increased significantly between 2022 and 2024, with 103 new publications; citation trends showed a decline over several years, with a notable peak in 2017; Kuusaana ED, Azima AM, and Koczberski G emerged as the most prolific authors; major research topics focused on political economy, artisanal mining, livelihoods, urban areas, and government; frequently studied keywords included land tenure, land rights, land management, and landownership. Based on these findings, future research should focus on areas such as Indigenous population studies, forest management, and further exploration of land tenure and management.
