“…These results show progress and a trend in SDGs studies, pointing to a growth in environmental research. Similar findings have been reported in previous studies by Sweileh ( 2020 ), Londono-Pineda and Cano ( 2022 ), and Yamaguchi et al ( 2023 ). However, Yamaguchi et al ( 2023 ) focused on the most cited articles, and Sweileh ( 2020 ) only analyzed articles with the phrase “sustainable development goal”, while this study has a broader scope.…”

“…However, Yamaguchi et al ( 2023 ) focused on the most cited articles, and Sweileh ( 2020 ) only analyzed articles with the phrase “sustainable development goal”, while this study has a broader scope. In addition, Londono-Pineda and Cano ( 2022 ) analyzed the main methodologies used for evaluating SDGs through bibliometric analysis. Scopus and Web of Science were identified by El Mohadab et al ( 2020 ) as the primary databases for bibliometric analysis.…”

“…However, the concentration of cutting-edge knowledge in specific countries, institutions, and authors is a concern. According to Londono-Pineda and Cano ( 2022 ), co-authorship can be an efficient strategy for institutions in developing countries to generate high-impact publications on issues related to SDG assessments. Sweileh ( 2020 ) notes that collaboration related to SDGs in America and Europe is strong, but collaboration in African and Asian countries is poor.…”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global appeal to protect the environment, combat climate change, eradicate poverty, and ensure access to a high quality of life and prosperity for all. The next decade is crucial for determining the planet’s direction in ensuring that populations can adapt to climate change. This study aims to investigate the progress, challenges, opportunities, trends, and prospects of the SDGs through a bibliometric analysis from 2015 to 2022, providing insight into the evolution and maturity of scientific research in the field. The Web of Science core collection citation database was used for the bibliometric analysis, which was conducted using VOSviewer and RStudio. We analyzed 12,176 articles written in English to evaluate the present state of progress, as well as the challenges and opportunities surrounding the SDGs. This study utilized a variety of methods to identify research hotspots, including analysis of keywords, productive researchers, and journals. In addition, we conducted a comprehensive literature review by utilizing the Web of Science database. The results show that 31% of SDG-related research productivity originates from the USA, China, and the UK, with an average citation per article of 15.06. A total of 45,345 authors around the world have contributed to the field of SDGs, and collaboration among authors is also quite high. The core research topics include SDGs, climate change, Agenda 2030, the circular economy, poverty, global health, governance, food security, sub-Saharan Africa, the Millennium Development Goals, universal health coverage, indicators, gender, and inequality. The insights gained from this analysis will be valuable for young researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and public officials as they seek to identify patterns and high-quality articles related to SDGs. By advancing our understanding of the subject, this research has the potential to inform and guide future efforts to promote sustainable development. The findings indicate a concentration of research and development on SDGs in developed countries rather than in developing and underdeveloped countries. Graphical abstract

“…Formal and informal institutions are essential to implement a model favoring For some authors, sustainable development and sustainability concepts can be treated as similar (Holden et al 2018). However, sustainable development implies development as a priority, and it represents one of the alternative theories of development, while the concept of sustainability considers the environment as a priority (Cano and Londoño-Pineda 2020;Londoño-Pineda and Cano 2022). Based on this rationale, this study follows Shaker's conceptualization (Shaker 2015), which suggests that sustainability is the goal and sustainable development is the process to reach it.…”

Most entrepreneurship studies have an urban focus, and it is studied mainly from the perspective of opportunity exploitation. Rural entrepreneurship presents different characteristics, and it requires analysis from a resource-based view since this kind of entrepreneurial behavior takes place in rural communities under resource constraints. The sustainable livelihood perspective represents a relevant framework in rural entrepreneurship, considering resources and capacities to face poverty in rural areas. Therefore, this study presents a literature review to identify current and emerging issues in rural entrepreneurship from a sustainable livelihood framework. The literature review identifies that the main concepts involved in rural entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihood are women, poverty alleviation, youth, social entrepreneurship, and institutions. Likewise, social capital and human capital prevail as the most relevant capitals in the analyzed documents. The study offers research opportunities in emerging issues related to social entrepreneurship, governance and institutions, livelihood growth, and eco-entrepreneurship for extending the boundaries of rural entrepreneurship from the sustainable livelihood framework.

“…Previous bibliometric studies have reported that research related to the SDGs is focused mainly on health (SDG 3), climate change (SDG 13), food (SDG 2), energy (SDG7), and sanitation (SDG 6) (Meschede 2020;Belmonte-Ureña et al 2021;Yeh et al 2022;Londoño-Pineda and Cano 2022;Sianes et al 2022). Controversially, the present research found that academic research on SDGs 8, 9, 11, which was considered poorly researched and lacking in consolidated literature (Pizzi et al 2020), obtained greater evidence, despite the number of occurrences and citations that can lead to an erroneous conclusion.…”

The research in sustainable development goals (SDG) increases year by year since its approval in 2015. Typically, after a phase of exponential growth, the number of publications increases at lower rates, suggesting a consolidation process in which literature reviews become a relevant and high-evidence type of document. In this context, the aim of this study was to perform an unprecedented bibliometric analysis of literature reviews on SDG to assess the evolution and consolidation of the scientific research. Article reviews on SDG from 2015 to 2022 were retrieved from Web of Science core collection and a descriptive bibliometric analysis was performed by growth rate, research area, source, citation, and region. Mapping and cluster analysis using keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship, and bibliographic coupling were also applied. The result revealed that SDG is a fast-growing field, with a trend in the diversification of research areas. Most of the review documents were categorized in general aspects of sustainability. Technology (SDG 9) and economic growth (SDG 8) were spotted as hidden key research areas. This result is contrary to previous bibliometric studies on SDG, demonstrating the rapid evolution and change in the field. In addition, literature reviews on reduced inequalities (SDG 10), gender equality (SDG 5); oceans, seas, and marine environments (SDG 14); and peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16) were revealed as research gaps. Thus, the results demonstrated that the research on SDG cannot yet be considered a consolidated area of research, as it leaves many SDG unexplored. Future research has been proposed accordingly.
