A Bibliometric analysis of Green Innovation Research
Main Article Content
Abstract
Green innovation has grown in organisational importance as a result of its contribution to meeting environmental needs while also allowing businesses to differentiate themselves from their competitors and hence gain sustainable competitive advantages. Given its importance it feels important to conduct a bibliometric analysis to forecast the growth of green innovation research publications. This paper explores all the disciplines in which green innovation research is published. The Scopus database is used to find published literature in the field, and bibliometric analysis was used to show trends in scholarly and professional publications This paper examines the status and evolution of 1094 published articles on green innovation research from 1995 to 2021. This study presents the most productive countries, top authors, top journals, and most cited articles as a result of this research. Through co-authorship analysis we identified the countries involved in collaborative research and through co-occurrence of keyword we identified the hot topics in green innovation research and also the emerging topic whose relationship with green innovation is yet to be explored. The limitations and future directions of research has also been provided at the end. This document is intended to serve as a guide for researchers who are new to the field of green innovation and want to improve their knowledge of the subject by identifying the best journals, authors, and papers from which to build their theoretical framework or construct future research models
