<![CDATA[This study analyzed the evolution of academic research on Village-Owned Enterprises (VOEs) in Indonesia between 2014 and 2024, focusing on key trends in research topics, designs, data collection, and analysis methods. We examined and categorized 72 Scopus-indexed journal articles by geographic scope, research approach, subjects, instruments, and methodological strategies using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal a significant increase in VOE-related publications over the past five years, with a strong emphasis on economic development at the village and district levels. Qualitative methods dominated, particularly interviews and content analysis, with VOE managers and village residents as the primary research subjects. The study draws attention to the need for future research to incorporate environmental sustainability, adopt participatory and experimental designs, and examine the roles of academics and NGOs in VOE development. By offering an in-depth primer on existing research and identifying critical gaps, this study contributes valuable insights to guide future inquiries and support evidence-based policymaking for sustainable rural development in Indonesia]]>
