Bibliometric analysis of the links between overall performance and CSR performance: Current status, development, and future directions

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the existing scientific literature on corporate social responsibility and global performance published between 2001 and 2024, using VOSviewer software. 288 indexed articles from the Scopus database were analyzed. This work adopts a bibliometric approach. The authors examine the results from the following angles : number of publications per year, articles most cited by other authors, most prominent authors, most influential journals, countries with the highest productivity, international university cooperation, keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic linkage. The results of the analysis can be used to improve our understanding of research into the relationship between global performance and corporate social responsibility, and to support further research in this area.
