The Analysis of Biblioshiny for the Advancement of Research on Collaborative Governance

Abstract

The investigation of collaborative governance involving government and non-government entities presents an intriguing area of study due to the existing research gap in the field of disaster management pertaining to the partnership between these two sectors. The objective of this study is to contribute insights that can inform the future direction of research on collaborative governance. The researcher conducted an investigation on the utilization of R Studio (specifically, Biblioshiny) and performed a comprehensive assessment of scientific literature pertaining to collaborative governance. This investigation involved the analysis and visualization of data from 135 examples across multiple sectors. Following a comprehensive review, the researcher has successfully identified significant variables that possess the potential to exert influence on collaborative governance. This identification was achieved through the utilization of data analysis and visualization techniques applied to a corpus of 135 documents authored by 377 scientists, which were sourced from 89 reputable journals published within the timeframe spanning from 2009 to 2023. It is worth noting that research pertaining to this subject matter has experienced a surge in interest since 2002, and this trend has persisted with an annual growth rate of 12.18%. The biblioshiny mapping results provide an overview of five prominent research themes in the field of collaborative governance management. These themes are identified based on the minimum five-word frequency and word count per year. The subjects encompassed in this discourse consist of governance approach models, climate change, decision-making processes, collaborative governance, and stakeholders. In recent years, esteemed academic publications such as the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, together with Public Administration Review, have played a pivotal role in promoting and fostering research on Collaborative Governance. The outcomes of this research can aid academics in providing a comprehensive analysis of the existing body of literature on Collaborative Management.
