Meta Sintesis Hasil Penelitian Aren (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr.) di Indonesia

Abstract

Aren merupakan tumbuhan serbaguna sehingga disebut Multi Purpose Trees Species (MPTS) yang memiliki prospek yang baik. Penelitian aren banyak dilakukan namun belum dihimpun sehingga belum diketahui gap penelitiannya. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menginventarisasi dan menganalisis hasil penelitian aren di Indonesia melalui database Google Scholar dan Scopus tahun 1986-2021. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yakni dengan systematic review dan analisis bibliometrik menggunakan software Publish or Perish, Vosviewer dan Mendeley. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 476 artikel yang dikumpulkan dengan topik terbanyak yakni topik Ekonomi dan Bisnis serta Teknologi dan Industri. Fase penelitian aren di Indonesia tidak dilakukan secara bertahap namun jumlah artikel penelitian yang dipublikasikan cenderung meningkat seiring bertambahnya periode tahun. Penelitian aren lebih banyak terkait penelitian nira dibandingkan dengan bagian lainnya. Penelitian aren lebih banyak dilakukan secara kolaborasi. Penelitian aren penting untuk mengembangkan bioprospeksi aren sehingga juga perlu perhatian besar dari pihak-pihak terkait termasuk pemerintah.

Sugar palm is a useful plant so it’s called as Multi Purpose Trees Species (MPTS) that has good prospects. Sugar palm research has been carried out but has not been compiled in database so the gaps is not yet known. The purpose of this study are to inventory and analyze the result research of sugar palm in Indonesia through the Google Scholar and Scopus databases from 1986- 2021. The method used in this study is systematic review with bibliometric analysis using Publish or Perish, Vosviewer and Mendeley software. The results showed that there are 476 articles collected with the most topics Economics and Business and Technology and Industry. The phase of the palm sugar research phase in Indonesia is not carried out in stages, but the number of published research articles tends to increase with the increasing period of the year. Research of sugar palm is more related to sap research than other parts. Sugar palm research is mostly done by collaboration. Sugar palm research is important to develop sugar palm bioprospection so it also needs great attention from stakeholders including the government.
