Abstract
The rapid growth of research in agriculture and food engineering has increased the need for credible academic platforms to disseminate scientific findings. Since its establishment in 2022, the ASEAN Journal of Agriculture and Food Engineering (AJAFE) has contributed to this growing scholarly landscape by publishing studies addressing agricultural systems, food processing, nutrition, sustainability, and related educational aspects. This article aims to provide a reflective overview of AJAFE’s first four years of publication from a bibliometric perspective. Bibliometric data were obtained from Scopus-indexed publications up to 2024 to contextualize global research growth, while a descriptive analysis was conducted on all articles published in AJAFE from 2022 to 2024. The results show that AJAFE has demonstrated consistent publication activity and thematic diversity, aligning with global research trends in agriculture and food engineering. This study highlights AJAFE’s emerging role as a multidisciplinary platform supporting knowledge exchange within the ASEAN region and beyond. The findings provide insights for editors, authors, and stakeholders in strengthening the journal’s future development and scholarly impact. This study supports sustainable development goals (SDGs).
