Bibliometric analysis of sustainable business performance: where are we going? A science map of the field
Cristina Bota-Avram
Abstract
Sustainable business performance is a rapidly growing field of
research that encompasses both academia and business. The purpose
of this study is to identify current and emerging research
trends and provide a comprehensive map of the knowledge
structure in the field of sustainable business performance, consistent
with recent developments in bibliometric research. Therefore,
this article offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis based on
the performance analysis and science mapping of the academic
literature related to sustainable business performance published
between 1996 and 2021 in 807 publications on the Web of
Science. By using two powerful bibliometric visual software tools,
VosViewer and CiteSpace, and by applying various bibliometric
analyses such as co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, bibliographic
coupling, co-occurrence of keywords analysis, burst
detection analysis, and timeline view analysis, this paper presents
the fundamental characteristics of the body of knowledge in this
research field, while identifying the most influential publications,
institutions, source titles, countries, and authors, and the evolution
of keywords these years. The paper concludes with a discussion
of the most popular research topics and identification of
emerging research pattern areas that should be on the future
research agenda for researchers interested in sustainable business
performance.
