This study explores the academic landscape concerning the role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in sustainable village development through a bibliometric analysis. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database and visualized with VOSviewer, the research maps keyword co-occurrence, thematic evolution, author collaboration, and international partnerships. The findings identify three primary research clusters: (1) MSME operations and formalization, (2) sustainable development and rural welfare, and (3) empowerment and ecotourism. Overlay and density visualizations reveal a temporal shift from general development goals toward more specialized and participatory strategies in recent years. Co-authorship networks show key contributors from Indonesia, with growing regional collaboration involving Malaysia and Australia. Despite increasing scholarly interest, the field remains fragmented, highlighting the need for more integrative frameworks and comparative, impact-driven research. This study offers a comprehensive synthesis of existing knowledge and provides a strategic foundation for future inquiry into MSMEs as drivers of inclusive and sustainable rural transformation
