<![CDATA[This study use bibliometric and network analysis to delineate global research on the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) from 2010 to 2025, utilizing the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Findings indicate that RSPO literature predominantly encompasses issues of sustainability, certification, deforestation, and smallholder involvement, highlighting its dual emphasis on ecological preservation and social fairness. Co-authorship and international collaboration networks exhibit robust connections across institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, and Indonesia, while demonstrating diminished engagement from local Southeast Asian colleges. The findings indicate a transition from normative governance research to outcome-oriented empirical investigations, reflecting a theoretical change towards performance legitimacy in sustainability norms. This study offers significant insights for policymakers, academics, and practitioners aiming to reinforce evidence-based decision-making, improve inclusivity, and promote equitable international collaboration within the RSPO research ecosystem.]]>
