<![CDATA[This study examines the intellectual development of mining governance research in Indonesia through a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications. Bibliographic data were retrieved from the Scopus database using the search query TITLE–ABS–KEY (Mining OR Extractive OR Governance AND Indonesia). The initial search identified 508 publications, which were systematically screened using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. After the screening process, 124 Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2008 and 2026 were retained for analysis. The dataset was analysed using the Bibliometrix package in RStudio to evaluate publication trends, source productivity, citation impact, institutional affiliations, international collaboration, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution. The results reveal that mining governance research in Indonesia has experienced substantial growth, with an annual publication growth rate of 18.11%, and has become increasingly interdisciplinary. Sustainability (Switzerland) emerged as the most productive publication source, while Hasanuddin University was identified as the leading institutional contributor. Thematic evolution indicates a shift from governance-oriented and climate-related studies toward mining, sustainability, local participation, and environmental economics. The findings suggest that mining governance research in Indonesia has evolved into a mature interdisciplinary field characterized by expanding international collaboration, diversified research themes, and a stronger integration of governance, sustainability, and natural resource management perspectives.]]>
