Abstract

Sustainability reporting is one of the company’s efforts to present non-financial information to stakeholders. It is hoped that this will increase the company’s transparency in all its activities related to the environment, social and economy. This study used a bibliometric analysis related to the previous studies related to the issue of sustainability reports. The current study was conducted by using data from the Scopus sources. The keyword used is sustainability reporting with a total data of 428 documents. The current study was carried out only for the ASEAN countries. The research identified several things including research contributions by countries, journals, topics, keywords, authorships, and affiliations. The finding shows that the ASEAN countries dominating the so-called studies related to the sustainability reporting is Malaysia and Indonesia. The mostly-used keywords are sustainability and sustainability reporting. This study also presents the data on journal affiliations and publishers who contributed to this study. The results have limitations including data sources and supporting software used. Sources of data only come from articles accredited by Scopus, then the data obtained is processed using only 1 software. The novelty of this research is to analyze the sustainability report issues by using a Bibliometric model in the ASEAN countries. It is expectedly used to provide more insight towards researchers and academia interested in discussing under sustainability reporting issues.

The Corruption Trends Within the Asean Countries: A Bibliometric Analysis Review

“…This study conducted a literature review on corruption using bibliometrics (Al-Faryan, 2024; Branet & Hategan, 2024;Quoc Bui et al, 2021) which focuses on the scope of ASEAN countries. Data is taken only from the Scopus database (Sayuti & Aprianto, 2023;Tubarad et al, 2022), because of its dependability, Scopus is utilized as a bibliometric data source for several research reviews, assessments of scientific policies, research landscape studies, and institution rankings (Tubarad et al, 2022) and Scopus is a popular academic database that offers reputable journal articles, references, and publications for research and development (Mohanty et al, 2023).…”

“…Data taken from the Scopus database, then processed using VOS Viewer software (Ramirez et al, 2022;Sayuti & Aprianto, 2023). In figure 3, a flowchart of the study is presented summarizing the topic, limitation & scope, keywords, and amount of data used.…”

“…In figure 3, a flowchart of the study is presented summarizing the topic, limitation & scope, keywords, and amount of data used. The flowchart adopted by (Bosi et al, 2022;Sayuti & Aprianto, 2023;Tubarad et al, 2022).…”

Corporate Sustainability Reporting in Southeast Asia: A Scoping Review

“…Therefore, this research will expand understanding of corporate sustainability reporting in developing countries, namely countries in the Southeast Asia region. The reason for choosing Southeast Asia as the context for this research is that corporate sustainability reporting attracts attention in developing countries (Hasan et al, 2022), and has higher Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks compared to countries in Europe (Sayuti et al, 2023). Southeast Asia also has various socio-economic problems such as poverty, human rights, use of child labor, and corrupt practices (M. Tran & Beddewela, 2020).…”

“…Previous research on sustainability reporting in ASEAN countries using bibliometric analysis provides information about the number of citations, authors and number of documents or provide knowledge of the research objectives that the limitations of the study, namely the data source only comes from one database (Sayuti et al, 2023), while this research uses six databases and established criteria so that it will provide different results and provide a broader picture according to the objectives of this research. Thus, the novelty of this research is that it expands previous research on corporate sustainability reporting in Southeast Asia using a scoping review.…”
