Abstract

This methodology outlines the mapping of global sustainable finance research over three decades, utilizing Scopus database data up to 2023. Employing bibliometric methods and visualization tools, the study explores research trends, co-authorship, and co-occurrence. Notable trends include a peak in paper publications in 2022, and strong research output from the US, UK, and India. Co-citation and co-word analyses provide insights into theme associations. Notably, the United States led the list in terms of research output, followed closely by the United Kingdom and India. The increasing attention to the subject globally is illustrated through the steady rise in article output over the years. The conceptual structure analysis sheds light on the interconnectedness and relationships among scholarly documents. Co-citation and co-word analysis offered insights into the associations and the relationships among various themes and concepts discussed in the research.
