Comment on ‘Research contribution of bibliometric studies related to sustainable development goals and sustainability’ [Discover Sustainability, 2023, 5, 1, 7, 10.1007/s43621-024-00182-w]

Abstract

This investigation discusses a comment on a recently published research study (Raman, Discov Sustain 5:7, 2024) related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sustainability, focusing on bibliometric analysis. The observation highlighted a computational error in the calculation of Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) as presented in the original publication. A revised formula was provided, along with corrected computations, revealing a notable disparity in growth forecasts. It emphasizes the need to use appropriate formulas for growth assessments and suggests that researchers should focus on identifying and rectifying inaccuracies.
