Abstract
This paper analyzes trends in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for business small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, it aims to highlight the important contributions of authors, journals, nations, and institutions or organizations in the field. This paper uses bibliometric methods to analyze relevant literature metrics, such as research trends, influential contributions, and emerging themes, from 1905 to the current year based on the Scopus database. Additionally, the authors use VOSviewer to conduct analyses to identify the core literature and research hotspots in this field. The findings from the bibliometric review shows the growing trends in publications. Besides that, the authors and institution from US and UK be dominance in this research field. The themes of alternative dispute resolutions were found related with business and technology. There is lower number of publications discussing about alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study relies solely on a single database (Scopus), which may limit the scope of the findings. However, these findings enhance understanding of alternative dispute resolution trends in small and medium enterprises and provide evidence-based recommendations for legal and institutional reform.
This study analyses the development, conceptual foundations, and emerging directions of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) research, with particular emphasis on its contribution to business sustainability and financial performance. It aims to map the dominant research themes in the ESG literature, examine the contributions of prominent authors, institutions, journals, and countries, and identify promising avenues for future research. The study adopts a quantitative bibliometric approach based on secondary data drawn from the Scopus database. A structured screening procedure was applied to peer reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and review papers published in English between 2015 and 2025 that explicitly addressed ESG concepts, yielding a final sample of 2,878 publications from 607 journals. Bibliometric indicators, including authorship patterns, citation structures, institutional and country contributions, journal sources, and keyword co occurrences, were examined using VOSviewer and R Studio (Biblioshiny). The findings indicate significant expansion and diversification of ESG research over the study period, organised around six core thematic clusters: sustainable development, business values, corporate social responsibility, ESG disclosure, ESG investment, and corporate strategy. The study identifies the most influential contributors and sources shaping ESG scholarship and points to growing research opportunities in the strategic and financial integration of ESG factors.

The research analyses the evolution and spread of integrated reporting, with a focus on the United Kingdom, one of the leading and most influential collaborative hubs in this field. By processing 1,665 scientific studies from the Scopus database, the bibliometric analysis performed using VOSviewer (v1.6.20) identified the most important publications, influential authors, and significant trends. The research provides a global overview of the evolution of integrated reporting, analysing geographical distribution, scientific fields, document types, keywords, citation patterns, frequently cited works, and funding sources that indicate institutional interest. The results highlight advantages such as increased transparency, more effective communication with stakeholders, and support for sustainable strategic decision-making. Although progress has been made, challenges remain, such as the lack of a common framework that everyone agrees on and the difficulty of measuring non-financial capital. The study also highlights new trends and developments, emphasizing the growing importance of integrated reporting in supporting long-term sustainability and corporate responsibility.

The study aims to systematically map and synthesize the global research landscape on bank performance by employing a bibliometric approach. Using Biblioshiny as an analytical tool, the study conducts a structured extraction and comprehensive analysis of literature indexed in the scopus database. This process results in a final dataset consisting of 2,636 peer-reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2026. The analysis explores key dimensions, including publication trends, influential countries, leading institutions, prominent authors, and high-impact journals, as well as the intellectual and conceptual structures that underpin bank performance research. The findings reveal that the literature has historically been dominated by contributions from advanced economies with well-established financial systems, particularly the United States and several European countries. However, there has been a noticeable increase in contributions from developing and emerging economies in recent years, reflecting a more geographically diverse research landscape. From a conceptual perspective, bank performance research continues to be strongly anchored in core themes such as profitability, financial performance, efficiency, and corporate governance. Nevertheless, thematic evolution and trend analyses indicate a gradual shift toward more multidimensional perspectives. Recent studies increasingly integrate topics such as risk management, sustainability, digital transformation, financial technology (fintech), and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. Furthermore, external shocks most notably the COVID-19 pandemic along with rapid digitalization, have significantly influenced both research directions and methodological approaches. Despite the expanding scope of the literature, the study identifies persistent conceptual fragmentation, particularly in efforts to simultaneously integrate governance, risk, technology, and sustainability within unified analytical frameworks. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution, dominant themes, and emerging research opportunities in bank performance studies, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners aiming to foster more resilient, adaptive, and sustainable banking systems.

Background: Pawnshop is a key non-bank financial service providing short-term liquidity for communities with limited access to formal banking. Along with economic uncertainty and social vulnerability, academic studies on pawnshops have developed rapidly across various disciplines. This study aims to map and analyze the global development of pawnshop research, identify major thematic structures, and examine the multidisciplinary nature of the literature. Methods: This study employs a bibliometric approach using secondary data obtained from the Scopus database covering publications from 2016 to 2025. A total of 59 relevant articles were analyzed using bibliometric techniques, including publication trend analysis, country and institutional contributions, funding sources, subject areas, and keyword co-occurrence analysis supported by network, overlay, and density visualizations. Findings: The results show that pawnshop research has grown steadily and is highly multidisciplinary, involving social sciences, economics, business, health, and policy studies. Keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals five main thematic clusters: alternative financial services and microfinance, social behavior, risk and criminality, sensitive regulation related to public safety, and sharia-based pawnshops. Furthermore, pawnshop research focuses on risk-oriented and regulatory issues toward financial inclusion, ethical finance, eco-social welfare, and socially responsive pawnshop models. These findings demonstrate a strong relationship between theoretical perspectives on financial inclusion and social vulnerability with the empirical development of pawnshop research. Conclusion: This study concludes that pawnshop is a complex socio-economic phenomenon vital for fostering community resilience, sustainability, and eco-social welfare, which must be understood through an integrated and multidisciplinary perspective. The bibliometric mapping provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and highlights future research directions in non-bank financial services. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article offers a comprehensive bibliometric synthesis of global pawnshop research by integrating thematic structures, research dynamics, and multidisciplinary perspectives, providing a holistic understanding that has not been systematically explored in previous studies.
