This research analyzed the relationship between green innovation and
sustainable development. The method used in this research is bibliometric.
The bibliometric analysis conveys the journal's authors, provides past,
present, and future capabilities of this particular theme, and serves as a
goal and guide for current researchers to understand the themes of green
innovation and sustainable development. The research aims to empirically
capture the intellectual form, capacity, and direction of knowledge
development. Achieve the goal using the VOSViewer software and the Web of
Science (WoS) scientific database. VOSviewer software was adopted as a bibliometric analysis tool to
visualize author, country, journal and keyword networks. The analysis
conducted on 4 November 2022 cites 2043 documents from 2015 to 2022. The results prove
that the number of green and sustainable innovation publications has grown
relevantly in the last eight years. Ranked first in China as
the most productive country in green innovation and sustainable development
research and ranked second in the USA with the involvement of lead authors
and research institutes. Keyword analysis shows that studies on green
innovation and sustainable development in the last eight years have focused
on environmental, economic, and technological themes. The bibliometric
analysis provides data relevant to the main themes studied regarding green
innovation and sustainable development. |
Introduction
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) presented part III of its Sixth Assessment Report on 4 April 2022,
entitled "Mitigation of Climate Change." The report concludes that
human emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced by 43% by 2030 and achieve
carbon neutrality by 2050 to limit temperature increases to 1.5�C, an action
agreed upon by nearly 200 countries in the Paris Agreement since 2015.
Environmental degradation and climate transformation have increased
stakeholder anxiety about the prevalence of ecological challenges, leading to
higher rates of global warming. Various efforts have been made to address
conflicts between environmental issues and long-term strategic development (Fang et al., 2022).
Green
innovation is a promising path to increase sustainability. It is full of
complexity stemming from the difficulties and uncertainties surrounding adaptation
activities within and across companies to enable green innovation (Afeltra et al., 2021).
Sustainable
development aims to improve the quality of human life around the world, both
for the present and future generations, without taking advantage of using
natural resources that exceed energy sources. The goal of Sustainable
development (SDGs) is to grab the attention of researchers around the world
because of their role in economic growth, employment, environmental security (Opoku 2019; Van Zanten & Van Tulder,
2021).
The concept of
green innovation (GI) makes it easier for companies to create environmentally
friendly products and services to achieve sustainable development goals. (Duan
et al., 2019). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), known as the Global
Goals, were adopted by all member states of the United Nations (UN) in 2015 as
a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that
all people enjoy peace and prosperity in 2030 (UNDP, 2022).
Therefore, this
study intends to examine and identify the literature on green innovation and
sustainable development using a bibliometric methodology in the aspects of
green innovation and sustainable development. As a result of the publication of
researchers or the scientific community recognises past, current and future
research. This research adds knowledge and can serve as a recommendation for
future research.
����������� Using a
combination of bibliometric analysis, text mining, and visualization, the
Objective of the Study is as follows:
RQ1. How is the annual research publication on green
innovation and sustainable development ��
��������� for 2005-2022?
RQ2. What is the most
productive organizational affiliation in green innovation research and ��
��������� sustainable development?
RQ3. What is the
publication of green innovation and sustainable development research in
the���
��������� a country that has contributed the
most to conducting research?
RQ4. How to analyze
research keywords green innovation and sustainable development using���
��������� co-occurrence unit analysis author
keyword analysis?
RQ5. How to cite green
innovation and sustainable development using a Co-citation analysis ��
��������� unit authors?
RQ6. How to analyze
the Bibliographic coupling of countries?
A. Green Innovation
Green innovation has
recently piqued the attention of the government, business sector and academia. (Zeng et al., 2022). Green innovation creates primary use and knowledge
of human and financial energy based on evaluating the protection of energy
quantities and natural areas to achieve economic, environmental, and social
benefits. This income method is Green innovation (Guzzo et al., 2022).
Green innovation directs
innovation in a product design and production method by taking into account
environmental factors and energy consumption in the manufacture and use of
products to achieve the mission of reducing environmental pollution and
increasing the use of energy sources and sustainable development (Li et al., 2020, 2022a, 2022b; Ling &
Long, 2020).
Green corporate culture can
be beneficial for companies dealing with environmental issues (Al-Swidi et al., 2021). Green corporate culture can be beneficial for companies
dealing with environmental issues (Naqshbandi & Jasimuddin, 2022).
B.
Sustainable Development
Sustainable Development is a
long-term economic growth model (Chowdhury, et al., 2022). The ideal state is to fulfil current interests without affecting the
sustainable development of future generations. This is an idea that people get
after knowing the seriousness and then contemplating ecological damage (Jayaratne et al., 2022).
�Green development refers to economic and
social development techniques that aim at efficiency, balance, and sustainability,
reflecting the organic unity of green subjects, green economy, and green
governance arrangements (Mingwan Wu et al., 2021).
Green development can be
understood as sustainable development, transformation, low carbon economy, and
growth (Wang et al., 2018).
C. Bibliometric
The bibliometric analysis
combines two critical methods: knowledge mapping and analysis and potential
analysis. Science mapping analysis is another bibliometric method and describes
a spatial representation of how the goals of different actors relate to one
another ( Gaviria et al., 2019). Bibliometrics is consistent with organized literature
reviews. The bibliometric analysis relies on quantitative methods that avoid
and reduce bias. Bibliometric analysis is also of interest here because, unlike
the category of meta-analysis, which focuses on summarizing empirical reality,
it first unravels the structure of intellectual perspectives by examining
social and systemic relations within the corpus (Donthu et al., 2021).
�This analysis considers various bibliometric
outputs, such as the category searched for, year and title of publication,
earning authors, institution and country, and sample and citation figures.
Method
This research adopts the Bibliometric
study method. Bibliometric analysis is a research procedure to illustrate the
relationship between green innovation and sustainable development.
Most bibliometric analyses have shared
data sources: Thomson Reuters' Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier's Scopus. (Mongeon & Paul-Hus, 2016). All literature
information for analysis, such as authors, citations, journals, countries or
regions, and alliances, can fulfil the interests of solving problems and
helping achieve research missions. In addition, it also follows the
bibliometric literature review procedure (Hosseini et al., 2018).
This study retrieved data from the
database (WOS). The data mining date is November 4, 2022. The concept of this
analysis is to use several keywords to find research articles that are
published internationally. The keywords used in this analysis are green
innovation and sustainable development. The years of publication taken were
2015 to 2022. This research was divided into 3 phases, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Methodology
Phases
In the first stage, collecting data from the Scopus
database uses the application of search keywords: TITLE-ABS-KEY "green
innovation and sustainable development," which produces 2043 articles. In
the second stage, Documents in TXT format are exported to VOS viewer software
for bibliometric analysis of publications, authors, countries, institutions,
journals, organizations, and regions (data visualization stage). The third
stage is data analysis to identify the main themes discussed in the research on
"green innovation and sustainable development."

Discussion
and Implication
This research provides a bibliometric analysis of
references on green innovation and sustainable development between 2015�2022 by
analyzing 2043 articles, according to publications in the web of science (WoS). Studies have been conducted to evaluate the
relationship between green innovation and sustainable development. They are
using the conceptual and intellectual framework of the topic. There are two
techniques which it contributes to the theoretical development of the topic
under study. Summarize the section using highly critical citations, shared
citations, thematic mapping, shared keyword occurrences, and objective and
technical document groupings. It provides academics with a compass to guide
their future research with this technique. Second, selecting and plotting the
most common patterns shows how the topic is increasing. In short, this study
offers guidance for those exploring aspects of green innovation and sustainable
development, providing information about the field's past, present, and future
to create compelling empirical models or generate sufficient literature reviews.
Conclusion
Conclusions and limitations of the
study Initially, it was found that bibliometrics is an appropriate method for
an inductive approach to the semantic separation of the conceptual structure of
the newly created field. This aspect of insight in research related to green innovation
and sustainable development demonstrates the multi-dimensional and
interdisciplinary character. As in other objective aspects, we are applying
bibliometrics can increase our knowledge and support researchers in mastering
green innovation and sustainable conceptual frameworks. This study intends to
investigate the relationship between green innovation and sustainable
development and describe its growth over the last eight years. To account for
scientific developments, the researchers conducted a global bibliometric
analysis of 2043 posts published between 2015�2022. To answer a predetermined
research mission, bibliometric research included how to analyze citations,
analyze snippets with events and the author's keywords and group technical and
scientific documents.
In conclusion, green innovation and
sustainable development are recently developed topics relevant to academics and
practitioners. Although green innovation and sustainable development are
primarily used as constrained variables and the abstract framework surrounding
these designs is still in architecture, there needs to be more heterogeneity
regarding the drivers or antecedent variables of green innovation and
sustainable development. In conclusion, green innovation and sustainable
development are recently developed topics relevant to academics and
practitioners. Although green innovation and sustainable development are
primarily used as constrained variables and the abstract framework surrounding
these designs is still in architecture, there needs to be more heterogeneity
regarding the drivers or antecedent variables of green innovation and
sustainable development. Explained by a consensus of scholars approaching the
problem (management, economics, engineering, and environment). China is ranked
first as the most productive country in green innovation and sustainable
development research. The second level is the USA by linking primary authors
and research institutes. Keyword analysis proves that research on green
innovation and sustainable development in the last eight years has focused on
environmental, economic, and technological themes. The bibliometric analysis
provides information relevant to the essential themes studied regarding green
innovation and sustainable development.
