“…Standardized literature entries exported from the Web of Science Core Collection can be directly applied in various bibliometric analysis tools. Considering the comprehensiveness and quality of the collected papers, most scholars rely on the Web of Science Core Collection to conduct a bibliometric study [ 41 , 42 ]. In this study, we collected relevant research papers with a complete research structure from four databases in the Web of Science Core Collection, namely Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).…”

Energy poverty is one of the main challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Research on energy poverty is becoming a common focus of scholars in many areas. Bibliometrics can help researchers dig deep into the information of specific research fields from a quantitative perspective. In this study, we collected 1018 research papers in the field of energy poverty published in the period 1999–2019 from the Web of Science databases and conducted a bibliometric analysis on them. Cleaning and screening of sample papers, matrix construction, and visualization were performed using Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and HistCite, summarizing the internal and external characteristics of the papers. With regard to external characteristics, a total of 982 research institutions in 80 regions conducted research in this field. There is extensive cooperation between the countries, and the UK, the USA, Australia, and Italy play the most active role in the cooperation network. With regard to internal characteristics, we found the two most representative citation paths: one path starts from the concerns of energy-poor groups and stops at an ethical discussion on energy poverty; the second path is based on the existing technological path, continuously developing coping policies, evaluation methods, and a conceptual framework for dealing with energy poverty. Furthermore, through coupling analysis, we discovered four focuses of energy poverty research: improvement of definition, improvement of evaluation methods, effects of coping policy, and energy justice. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing papers, this paper reveals some limitations of previous studies and recommends some promising directions for future research on energy poverty.

“…The bibliographic data to be analyzed were obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) in the Core Collection of Web of Science, which is referred to as the most important and influential database to retrieve academic records and conduct bibliometric analysis because it lists over 12,400 prestigious academic journals (Zhao et al, 2020) and is updated continuously (Azer & Azer, 2019). The keyword combinations that were searched on November 30, 2020 in the Web of Science Core Collection are 'Sustainable Development' and 'Sharing Economy', and 'Sustainability' and 'Sharing Economy'.…”

Sustainability promotes a feasible strategy to achieve a continuous development of the economy, society, and environment. This study aims to analyze the growing efforts on researches made by academic communities in exploring the sharing economy as a potential approach to promote sustainable development. A bibliometric approach with VOSviewer and COOC analysis was applied. A total number of 975 published articles were analyzed in this study. As a result, it was found that few studies have shed light on collaborative and sustainable consumption, climate change, and bioeconomy in the sharing economy by country, such as renewable resources and business models, circular economy in China, and life cycle assessment, particularly taking evidence from the urban mobility services in China. It was also revealed that there is a new indiscipline research trend in the field of sustainable development such as sustainable business models, game theory, blue economy, peer-to-peer accommodation, smart grids, and electric vehicles. Other trend concentrates on technological advancements and policies to promote sustainable development in the sharing economy.

“…However, although there is a great deal of current research on green consumption, the research hotspots are constantly changing, thus many scholars find it difficult to stay aware of the current research topics and tendencies related to the topic [6]. Through preliminary literature search, we find that there is a lack of bibliometric analysis in the field of green consumption.…”

Understanding Green Consumption: A Literature Review Based on Factor Analysis and Bibliometric Method

In recent years, research on green consumption has grown at an exponential rate. Because this field of study has seen such rapid growth, research hotspots have been constantly changing, making it difficult for scholars to keep track of the most current hotspots and trends related to the topic of green consumption. In this study, we employed Citespace, COOC1.9, and SPSS 20 to map knowledge in the field of green consumption and to identify current research preferences, cooperative networks among countries and institutions, and collaborative networks among authors. A total of 2194 papers from the period of 2016–2022, sourced from the Web of Science, were collected as our data sample. The results show that the topic of green consumption has caught the attention of researchers around the world, particularly in some countries with high levels of economic development, for instance, in China, USA, and England. In addition, although there are numerous scholars who have focused on the study of green consumption, currently, there are few efficient and productive authors. Collaborative networks among authors, and cooperative networks among institutions and countries, are all still immature and need to be further strengthened. A principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the existing literature focuses on the following three topics: (1) consumer green behavior, (2) corporate green production, and (3) green marketing in social media. In addition, we conducted a multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis to verify our results. Finally, we offer some suggestions intended to inform and enrich the field for future researchers.
