Trend of Fraud Prevention Researches in Science and Technology Index (SINTA): From Research Design to Analysis

Abstract

Objectives: This study intends to examine research publications on fraud prevention that are indexed in Scopus and cataloged in the Science and Technology Index (SINTA).
Methodology: This research employs an approach that analyzes the content of diverse published studies. Data were obtained by content analysis of articles pertaining to fraud prevention. There are 66 articles indexed in Scopus spanning from Quartile 1 to Quartile 4, sourced from SINTA.
Finding: This study revealed a substantial rise in the publication of papers on fraud prevention in Indonesia since 2015, culminating in 2024. The majority of the study forty-six out of sixty-six articles takes a quantitative approach, with SEM-PLS being the most commonly used data analysis tool. The most commonly used data collection instrument is the survey. Qualitative and mixed methods approaches are still rarely used. Qualitative research typically employs the Miles and Huberman data analysis model, which comprises data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion formulation. These findings provide a comprehensive overview of the direction and methodology of research on fraud prevention in Indonesia.
Conclusion: This research concludes that the academic world's attention to fraud prevention in Indonesia continues to increase, but the methodological approaches used are still dominated by quantitative methods. The minimal use of qualitative and mixed methods indicates an opportunity for deeper exploration of behavioral and contextual aspects in fraud prevention. This finding serves as the basis for the development of further research that is more diverse and in-depth in its analytical approach.
