“…Thus, the present study aims to fill this gap and focuses on detecting the process of the advancement of the research field through a different approach, by applying the tools of bibliometric analysis. Consequently, the present study extends prior bibliometric reviews on sustainability performed in specific areas, such as management [18][19][20][21], banking [22,23], tourism [1,24] or accounting [4,25].…”

“…Over the recent past, many scholars performed bibliometric analyses on sustainable development in particular areas such as social finance and sustainable banking [22,23], sustainable business models in tourism [1,24], strategic management for sustainability [18,21], sustainable development and its goals (SDGs) [19,20], integrated thinking and reporting or non-financial disclosure in the EU Directive 2014/95 perspective [4,25]. Thus, our methodological approach follows the research strategy adopted in prior studies.…”

In the wake of increased awareness, as there has been an increasing need for sustainability reporting, research studies have evolved over time. Addressing the challenges and pathways of research in the particular realm of public entities was appropriate to enrich the scientific literature. Since prior studies either conducted a structured literature review on non-financial reporting formats or were focused exclusively on social and environmental accounting, and no bibliometric review has yet been conducted on sustainability reporting in the public sector, this study aims to fill this gap. The objective of the paper is to identify the trends and patterns in knowledge development in the area of sustainability reporting in the public sector to investigate its structure and derive inferences and insights. Bibliometric results reveal that research in this field is still at an early stage, showing an unsteady, slightly upward trend. The literature responded well to the need to enhance the understanding of the public institutions’ role in advancing non-financial reporting and evolved along with the continuous development of the related voluntary frameworks (e.g., GRI, <IR>). In this assent, further studies approaching the first mandatory regulation of non-financial information disclosure (Directive 95/2014/EU) are encouraged.

“…The methodology of this study includes five main phases. The process of this study includes (1) Study Design, (2) Data Collection, (3) Data Analysis (4) Data Visualization, and (5) Interpretation (Aria & Cuccurullo, 2017;Secinaro et al, 2020;Secinaro et al, 2021;Zupic & Čater, 2015;Campra et al, 2021). The study integrates two approaches consolidated in other studies by unifying the PRISMA-Compliant Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis (Li et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017).…”

The issue of effectiveness in healthcare plays a role in international debates. The search for adequate tools allowing management to evaluate the correct allocation of resources becomes increasingly necessary. Cost-effectiveness analysis responds to this need, but the variety of tools and solutions proposed makes their application and replicability complex. The aim of this study was to create a starting approach model useful to researchers and professionals to cost-effectiveness problem solving. The study integrates two approaches by unifying the PRISMA-Compliant Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis. The results obtained from the analysis are manifold. Scientific production related to cost-effectiveness in healthcare has increased in the last ten years and is mainly concentrated in three sources. Researchers insert multiple keywords into the articles, but the main ones are cost effectiveness analysis, human, health care cost. The topics covered can be divided into two clusters, which can be further divided into several subgroups. PRISMA analysis reinforces and confirms what has been identified through bibliometric analysis: in cost-effectiveness analysis different methodological bases are applicable to specific individual topics; in particular, the most used approaches to evaluate cost-effectiveness are DES (discrete event simulation) and Mathematical-statistical analysis methodologies, whose applications need the highlighted data. The study also underlines the literature absence of some specific topics such as spillover from primary and secondary health prevention activities, organization of services, rehabilitation activities, centralization of services related to contracts and PPPs, evaluation of infra-hospital care pathways.

Mapping Social Impact Assessment Models: A Literature Overview for a Future Research Agenda

The social impact assessment (SIA) process is widely utilised and is receiving increasing interest from both scholars and practitioners. A systematic approach was applied in this study to search for articles about SIA models. In the first step, we analysed six main SIA model mappings between 2004 and 2015. In the second step, 98 models were identified. The main findings include the definition of emerging paths for the future research agenda on this topic. Compared with previous SIA mappings, we identified 22 additional models that are related to the sustainability discourse. The meaning of sustainability is defined both by the emergence of new systems in finance that require specific metrics and in relation to the global agenda towards sustainable development. It is interesting to notice how social impact models, sustainability indicators (under the global framework of sustainable development goals (SDGs)) and new financial scores (such as environmental, social and governance (ESGs)) are converging into a common discourse, even if divergence is still present, and further research is needed to unlock the relationships among them.
