“…This step is crucial to mitigate bias and pinpoint potential articles with methodological shortcomings (Seehra et al, 2016). Following the recommendation of Abas et al (2022), two evaluators were designated among the researchers for this assessment. The evaluators will categorize the articles into three quality tiers: high, moderate, and low.…”

The use of information systems (IS) in the public sector has significantly increased, especially with the introduction of the electronic government system (EGS), which makes it easier for citizens to access government services. Even though there has been a lot of investment in information technology (IT), it's still unclear how much these investments improve productivity. This study thoroughly examines research papers, journals, and conference reports from the past ten years to assess the effect of information systems on the performance of government workers in different areas. Following the reporting standard for systematic evidence syntheses (ROSES), a detailed search was conducted using databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. The study uses the PICo (population, interest, and context) strategy to identify key areas of focus, such as Skill development, return on investment (ROI), strategic decision-making, and innovative thinking. This research plays a crucial role in developing policies and guiding the deployment of information systems to enhance the effectiveness of government officials and other stakeholders. It also looks into factors and situations that might improve or weaken the impact of IS on performance in government contexts. The outcomes of this systematic review help in understanding the complex relationship between information systems and the performance of government workers more clearly. The findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers, government organizations, and scholars, offering strategies to make the most of information systems to improve government workers' performance and productivity.

“…Of the 100 articles indexed by Scopus, they can be grouped into 3 clusters which can be identified by color node each keyword. Cluster 1 is symbolized in red and includes terms related to studies with keywords Farmer [1][2][3][4][5][6], Standard [7][8][9][10], Impact [11][12][13] , Access [14], ISPO [15][16][17][18][19] it can be interpreted that the studies on the cluster referred to one and the other study keywords often intersect and tend to have links, for example research with studies on financial and benefits certification on one the articles in the study cover a lot of discussion related to the keywords impact, farmer and standards Cluster 2, which is symbolized in yellow, consists of studies that tend to lead to one keyword, namely RSPO certification [20][21][22][23][24][25][26], Cluster 3, which is symbolized in blue, consists of Oil Palm studies [27,28], Deforestation, Plantation, Biodiversity and Cluster 4 which is symbolized in green consists of MSPO certification studies, Industry, Independent Smallholder, Implementation. From the visualization of the network visualization, there is an interesting thing, namely that there is a high link to the study with the keywords of sustainable oil palm plantation certification namely ISPO, RSPO, and MSPO during the period from 2006 to 2023…”

The author tries to holistically present the intellectual structure of scientific work with the keywords independent smallholders, certification, oil palm plantations, analyzes the concept keywords and study results to see the direction of the study as well as the empirical results of the study to see the dynamics of independent smallholders in fulfilling ISPO certification. The research flow uses bibliometric analysis techniques. Design/methodology/approach – By conducting a bibliometric analysis of 100 research articles published during 2006 - 2023 with the keywords disbursement of Independent Smallholders Certification of Oil Palm Plantation, taken from Scopus indexed articles, this study provides comprehensive insights from abstraction and keyword analysis. Emerging research streams were further evaluated using VOSviewer software. Findings - This study illustrates the year-over-year trend of overall increase in publications, key words used as research drivers as well as the reality of study content. Furthermore, this study evaluates trends in three cluster areas namely impact, Implementation, Sustainability Certification and the dynamics of the role of independent smallholders.

“…There are five (5) themes for sustainable practices in agriculture industry namely, land management, waste management, advance technology, economic empowerment, and social inclusion (Abas et al, 2021). The study found that sustainability certification and its underlying principles is one of the methods to achieve all five themes of sustainability practices.…”

Sustainability certifications have been introduced for the palm oil industry to ensure its sustainable operation and the production of highly demanded palm oil. At present, there are several sustainability certifications in the market, namely the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO), and the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certifications. As the crude palm oil (CPO) becomes the largest product been produced and exported in the palm oil industry, it is assumed that the major CPO producers would adhere to the call for sustainability practices by producing certified palm oil. However, the additional cost of acquiring sustainability certification might hinder them from doing so. Besides, it is unclear on the effect of these certifications on firm profitability since there are very few studies have provided quantitative evidence empirical research focuses specifically on the sustainability certification in palm oil industry context. Thus, this intends to fill this gap by examining the effect of local, that is, MSPO or ISPO and international, that is, RSPO certifications on the financial profitability of the world’s top 20 CPO producers which comprises of the leading global palm oil companies based in Malaysia and Indonesia for the period of 2013 to 2018. General Least Regression is employed due to the problems of non-normality of data, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation. The main variable under investigation in this study is RSPO, MSPO, and ISPO, proxied by dummy variable. The results showed no significant difference in profitability of locally certified and non-certified CPO producers. Meanwhile, CPO producers with international certification, that is, RSPO recorded reduced profitability of 5% compared to locally certified producers. Hence, the adverse effect of sustainability certifications calls for intervention from both Malaysian and Indonesian governments as well as palm oil authorities in the respective countries, for example, introduction of tax incentives and/or subsidies to compensate for the reduced profitability and the cost of certification.
