Jul 2026 · PaperASIA · Vol 42 · 0 citations · 41 references

Abstract

Research on economic sustainability has developed rapidly in the last two decades, reflecting global attention to the sustainability of economic development. This study aims to map the landscape of economic sustainability research through bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database in the 1990–2025 period. The analysis includes publication trends, journal sources, most productive writers and institutions, collaboration between countries, and the most commonly used keywords. Economic Sustainability is a keyword used in the title of the article to get metadata taken from the Bibliography Database of Scopus, on Friday, May 9, 2025, 11:40 AM. To develop the analysis, Bibliomagika® is used to conduct frequency analysis and for data visualization. The results showed significant growth in publications since 2019, with the dominance of research from developed countries, especially Italy, the United States, China, and the United Kingdom. In addition, a cluster of the main research themes was found, such as sustainable development, climate change, and circular economy. This finding is expected to provide important insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to understand the development of science and identify the potential for collaboration and the direction of future research.
