Bibliometric analysis of green supply chain research using VOSviewer

Abstract

A green supply chain is used to consider the environmental effects of all products, including environmental influences originating from goods/products and the product manufacturing process from raw materials to finished products. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis on the green supply chain topic by combining mapping analysis using VOSviewer software. In collecting the data, we used a quantitative bibliometric approach. Meanwhile, a descriptive method is used to obtain the results from the data collected. The data were retrieved from a Google Scholar search. We found 996 articles published in the 2012–2022 period from the search results. The results show that research on the green supply chain topic in 2012-2016 has not been widely carried out, and there has been an increase in 2017-2020. However, research on the green supply chain topic declined in 2021-2022. In conclusion, this study shows the importance of conducting bibliometric analysis, particularly on the green supply chain topic. This research is expected to be a reference for further research in conducting and determining the research theme.

On the contrary, we look at SDGs as elements that could become part of the identity of business, which could lead to systemic change.…”
