Evolution of Low Carbon Supply Chain Research: A Systematic Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

With the increasingly serious global carbon emission problem, how to reduce carbon emissions has attracted a great deal of attention from academics and practitioners. Carbon emissions can be decreased more efficiently by coordinating the management of firms upstream and downstream in the supply chain, which has an increasingly important role in the low carbon process. Research on the low carbon supply chain (LCSC) has gradually evolved into important branches of global sustainable development. This paper aims to conduct a complete thematic analysis of 754 articles published between 2012 and 2021, identify the structural dimensions of evolution, and classify them according to systematic methodology. It provides a stage-by-stage summary of relevant research results from the past decade. At present, research in the LCSC field has resulted in a complete theoretical framework and research system and has formed the evolutionary path of method-policy-practice research. This study will help to promote further in-depth study of the LCSC and the fabrication and improvement of its theoretical system. It provides a valuable reference for researchers interested in LCSC, and points out the focus and direction of future research.

Immersive Technologies-Driven Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Context of Metaverse

“…This study utilises the analysis tools provided by the WoSCC database to create pie charts and bar graphs revealing the quantity and sources of publications related to ImTs in the BIM field. Web of Science (WoS) is one of the world's most authoritative scientific citation indexing databases, and various usage indicators provided by publishers have been extensively researched [39]. This study will utilise the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to conduct a search using keywords such as "Building Information Modeling (BIM)", "Immersive Technologies (ImTs)", "Virtual Reality (VR)", "Augmented Reality (AR)", "Mixed Reality (MR)", "Digital Twins (DT)", and "Metaverse".…”

Tripartite evolutionary game analysis of supply chain low‐carbon transformation considering the coupling of carbon tax and subsidy regulations

“…The concept of low-carbon supply chain is based on a green supply chain and a closed-loop supply chain. It focuses the concept of "low-carbon" and integrate it into the supply chain more than the green supply chain, and explores the issue of carbon emissions in the supply chain from a new perspective (Du & Zhou, 2022). Under the government's price control policy, Liu, Li, et al (2017) studied the supply chain system consisting of a dominant retailer and a manufacturer, and proposed a revenue-sharing contract to coordinate the supply chain under normal market conditions.…”
