“…This was deployed with (“edible” OR “insects”* OR “Africa”) as the first anchor, while having all actors under sustainable food systems and environmental health as the second anchor (“sustainable” OR “food system” OR “environmental health” OR “Africa”). The search asterisk was used to optimise the search query for the articles with keywords that included edible insects, Africa and food systems, while quotation marks were applied to increase the accuracy of the search [ 55 , 57 ].…”

Africa is home to an estimated wild edible insect population of 1000 species that offer an opportunity for sustainable food systems while also improving food and nutrition security on the continent. Edible insect consumption has been part of African communities for a long time and forms part of their diets and cuisines, particularly within low-income households with limited resources. The purpose of our study was to investigate and review the contribution that edible insects can make towards the realisation of sustainable food systems, and environmental/planetary health including the fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goal number 2 (zero hunger). Our study applied a bibliometric analysis approach using VOS Viewer, a data mining software. The study established that the consumption of edible insects is still widespread across many African countries and therefore can be used as an avenue for improving environmental health and enhancing food systems on the continent through a reduction in meat-based diets. This, in the long term, will also reduce the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane from livestock production-related activities. Edible insects are also known to contain a high percentage nutrient content of proteins, fats and iron and, thus, can also play a vital role in reducing food insecurity and malnutrition, particularly within low-income households. Due to the existence of a high number of edible insect species on the continent, communities in Africa can easily access sources that can further be preserved using various indigenous techniques while also having minimal impact on the environment. In addition, being a source of nutritious food, edible insects can also be a source of establishing sustainable livelihoods, as well as being able to be commercialised, thus further creating employment opportunities and economic growth. Some of the notable edible insects in abundance on the continent include termites, ants, crickets and caterpillars. Our study recommends that Africa should commercialise edible insect production, in addition to preservation processing that leads to the eradication of perennial food insecurity and malnutrition and improves environmental health, as well as developing sustainable food systems. We also further recommend the establishment of food safety guidelines on edible insects as most African countries do not have such a plan in place currently.

“…Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode analisis bibliometrik pada literatur yang meneliti kajian terkait informasi publik. Studi bibliografi sebagai salah satu model analisa literatur yang baru dikembangkan dan digunakan untuk mengkaji literatur teoritis di berbagai bidang pengetahuan, termasuk ilmu sosial dan teori-teori yang terkait dengan studi tersebut atau lebih dikenal dengan istilah analisis bibliometrik (Matandirotya, 2021). Menurut Lotka dalam Coile analisis bibliometrik adalah metode untuk mengukur produktivitas peneliti (Coile, 1977).…”

Penelitian ini pada dasarnya dilakukan untuk mengetahui dan memberikan gambaran terkait perkembangan bidang kajian informasi publik sebagai salah satu bidang kajian ilmu pemerintahan dalam rentang waktu 15 tahun terakhir. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah tinjauan pustaka sistematis dengan menggunakan analisis bibliometrik. Analisis bibliometrik dilakukan menggunakan aplikasi Publish or Perish dan Vos Viewer dengan menganalisa 540 penelitian yang terbagi menjadi 4 kluster dan 47 topik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Walaupun data yang dikumpulkan berasal dari hasil penelitian sejak tahun 2008 sampai 2022 namun penelitian terkait keterbukaan informasi publik justru sangat intens dilakukan pada rentang tahun 2016 sampai 2019. Topik-topik yang dimunculkan pada dasarnya cenderung monoton artinya bisa ditafsirkan bahwa perkembangan kajian terkait keterbukaan informasi publik cenderung berputar pada topik-topik umum saja. Rekomendasi kepada peneliti selanjutnya yang ingin meneliti bidang kajian keterbukaan informasi publik bisa coba mengulas beberapa topik yang menarik dan masih jarang diteliti misalnya hubungan keterbukaan informasi publik dengan topik korupsi, Good Coorporate Governance (GCG), pemilu dan e-procurement.

“…The performance and impact of authors, countries and journals can be assessed [ 19 ]. Several studies have used this methodology, for example, to study research trends in the monitoring and management of air quality [ 20 ], airborne microorganisms [ 21 ], and the impact of air pollution on human health [ 22 ]. Bibliometric indicators were used to review the literature on particulate matter (PM) and its possible association with atherosclerosis [ 23 ] and to analyze current research patterns on atmospheric aerosols worldwide [ 24 ].…”
