The recovery of MSMEs after the Covid 19 pandemic requires a strategy in research modeling. There have been many studies examining the performance of MSMEs during the pandemic, but this research is different from what has been done before. This study attempts to conduct a research mapping using a
combination of the Open Knowledge Map and the Data Mining Method to find a focus on issues that are often discussed in research during a pandemic. With the pattern of the a priori algorithm the researcher finds the focus of the research that has been done so that it finds gaps that have not been studied. Based
on this, the research variables were found and a concept was formed that described the business sustainabilitty model.
