Abstract:
This bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) research from an Operations Research (OR) perspective. This review systematically extracted and analysed 232 articles published between 2005 and 2023. The findings reveal significant trends and insights in SSCM literature. The study finds that SSCM research has experienced exponential growth since 2011. The co-authorship analysis highlights both collaboration and individual contributions, indicating room for increased scholarly interaction. The co-word analysis uncovered thematic clusters, such as sustainability reporting, supply chain resilience, and the use of Big Data. The findings suggest emerging areas for research, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains and the growing interest in carbon taxes and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These insights offer valuable guidance for both researchers and industry professionals seeking to align with current SSCM trends and collaboration between academia and industry holds promise for enhancing sustainable and efficient supply chain practices.
