“…Similarly, each color represents a cluster, and the link between the nodes indicates the co-occurrence of these two keywords. The distance between keywords directly reflects their relevance, and the shorter the distance, the stronger the relationship between them ( Shi et al, 2020 ). In the first dataset, we set the minimum number of occurrences of a keyword to 100, and 193 keywords met the threshold of the 28,661 keywords were divided into four clusters.…”

“…Firstly, Bibliometrix was used to conduct the keywords frequency analysis by obtaining information of the keywords frequency from the data set. After merging some keywords with the same meanings, the resulting keyword count lists were used to generate a word cloud of keywords of the SC field (Figure 2), which is an entire and clear graphical display of hot topics around sustainability at the community level (Shi et al, 2020). In Figure 2, the size of the keywords is positively correlated with the keywords frequency.…”

“…This method can provide valuable insights into the characteristics and structure of a specific research domain in a systematic, transparent and reproducible process (Broadus, 1987; Kamalski & Kirby, 2012). It provides a more reliable and objective analysis than other techniques (Aria & Cuccurullo, 2017) and have proven effective in literature analysis in different disciplines (Shi et al, 2020). The bibliometric approach of this study involves three major steps, as described below.…”

In recent years, sustainability at the community level has drawn attention from academic circles. However, no studies attempt to comprehensively explore the research field reflecting sustainability at the community level (hereinafter referred to as SC field). To fill this knowledge gap, this study makes an unprecedented attempt to draw the general aspects, intellectual structure and conceptual evolution of the SC field from 1992 to 2020. Using a set of sustainability‐related terms to delineate the boundary of the SC field, a total of 416 journal articles published in the databases of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) were used to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Interpretation of main findings of the bibliometric analysis and implications for future trends of the SC field have been discussed. This study can provide a new reference for scholars to better understand the research status and knowledge domains of the SC field.

“…(2) Conceptual structure analysis. The keywords are distributed in the form of dots in the two dimensional space, clearly revealing the relationship between them and the spatial distribution of the themes (Shi et al, 2020). To be specific, the stronger the relevance of the keywords, the closer they are presented in the concept structure diagram.…”

“…Researchers are key participants in driving the development within a particular field, and the productivity and impact are usually deemed as two important facets for measuring their contributions (Forliano et al, 2021). In this representation, the area of the circle is proportional to the number of publications per year, and the colour depth concerning the circle is proportional to the average annual citations since publication (Shi et al, 2020). (2) Conceptual structure analysis.…”

The relationship between foreign direct investment and economic growth (FDI-EG) has been subject to extensive research. The first document related to FDI-EG research in Web of Science was published in 1992 so that the research time is close to 30 years. This article aims to make a bibliometric study to measure the FDI-EG research from different points of view. 1,075 documents with respect to FDI-EG research were collected, and a strong bibliometric analysis was carried out by Bibliometrix software and review of approaches. The Bibliometrix software has revealed the leading researchers, conceptual structure, and thematic evolution of the FDI-EG research. At the same time, reviewing the literature helps to make content analysis, the most influential document analysis, co-authorship analysis, and citation and co-citation analysis. Amongst the findings, C. Chen, Journal of International Economics, and the USA are the most influential researcher, journal, and country, respectively. The FDI-EG research are focussed on the technology and firm performance, research modelling, and theoretical inquiry. More discussions are made in terms of current research status, avenues for future research, advantages and drawbacks of the methods. This article helps in understanding the evolution of the FDI-EG research from the perspectives of the bibliometric and review.
