“…The higher the number of citations of two publications from a common third publication, the higher the common citation power of these publications and the higher the probability of being related to each other. Co-citation is an accepted technique that researchers in bibliometric studies have been widely using in recent years (Leung, Sun, & Bai, 2017;Mulet-Forteza et al, 2018;Diéguez-Castrillón, Gueimonde-Canto, & Rodríguez-López, 2021;Mukhopadhyay Pandey and Rishi, 2022). This technique was used to identify the most influential researchers who contributed to the improvement of tourism safety and security literature.…”

Safety and security are among the most basic needs in life and are essential in tourism as in other research areas; thus, researchers need to focus on the topic. Since the 1970s, when the first scientific paper on tourism safety was published, the number of research in this field has significantly increased. This study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis on tourism safety and security research conducted over the past forty-five years. The literature on the subject includes 597 studies obtained from the Scopus database. VOSviewer scientific mapping software programme was used to perform the analysis. The software covers keywords of tourism safety and security topics, influential authors, publications, journals, and countries and identifies several techniques such as co-citation, concept association, and bibliographic coupling. The rapid increase in the number of research and citations shows that the topic of tourism safety and security has drawn the attention of researchers in the last 12 years. The analysis results revealed that the study with the strongest link with other publications is “Tourist's perceptions of safety and security while visiting Cape Town”. The researcher who contributed the most to the field with the author citation is Michael C. Hall; the journal making the most substantial impact is Tourism Management. Finally, the most productive country is United States of America. The current study contributes to expanding the literature on tourism safety and security and offers an overview for further research in this field.

“…To the best of our knowledge, there are 13 bibliometric analyses published in Environment, Development and Sustainability . These studies are related to sustainability issues in specific industries, such as economics (Dominko et al, 2022 ; Zhao & Zhang, 2022 ; Zárate-Rueda et al, 2021 ), tourism (Diéguez-Castrillón et al, 2022 ), real estate (Lazar & Chithra, 2021 ), agriculture (Dash et al, 2023 ; Mohd Razali et al, 2022 ), and health (Zyoud & Zyoud, 2021 ). While this study considers all sustainability papers published in Environment, Development and Sustainability and it will shed further light on this topic.…”

This study aims to highlight the current trends in the literature on sustainability by applying a bibliometric review of papers on sustainability published in Environment, Development and Sustainability . Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative approach to bibliographic materials that highlights the core theoretical and empirical research on a specific field. In addition, it allows the classification of previous studies. Previous bibliometric reviewers were limited to sustainability papers in specific industries, while this study considers all papers on sustainability to provide further insights on overall sustainability topics. The analysis was based on keyword cartography analysis, bibliometric authors’ citation analysis, bibliometric papers’ citation analysis, bibliometric references’ co-citation analysis, journals’ co-citation cartography, and qualitative content analysis. A total of 997 articles on sustainability were reviewed. Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer and content analysis was performed using WordStat. Six major clusters were identified: environmental sustainability, sustainable development, urban sustainability, ecological footprint, environment, and climate change. In addition, the results reveal that Environment, Development and Sustainability has increasingly experienced important growth in research papers and citations, reflecting its significant contribution to the sustainability research field. In addition, this study presents recommendations for future research opportunities in the field of sustainability. The findings of this study have implications for sustainability research, such as the assessment of environmental and social sustainability in multinational institutional contexts and across industries as well as the examination of the impact of environmental and social sustainability on different corporate aspects and decisions. This study is the only one to review the key topics on which papers published in Environment, Development and Sustainability are focused and can be largely used for sustainability practices. This study provides an overview of how the literature on sustainability has developed, as well as a summary of the most productive authors, along with countries, organizations, and journal sources. This offers an opportunity for future research to focus on this topic.

“…A broad account of that increase is offered by Watróbski et al (2018) and Ziemba (2018). More recently, Diéguez-Castrillón et al (2021) present a bibliometric analysis of papers on sustainability indicators for tourism destinations published since 1995. The authors undertake a citation, co-citation and co-occurrence analysis, among others, to assess the evolution of the research topics over three subperiods and offer future lines of research, being one of them, the fulfilment of the SDGs.…”

Forgotten effects of active tourism activities in Spain on sustainable development dimensions

This research aims at exploring the impact of active tourism activities on sustainable development dimensions. The methodology applied was based on the Theory of Forgotten Effects, which involves the use of different matrices as a research method representing relationship between different elements. According to experts’ opinions, direct and indirect relationships effects caused by active tourism on sustainable development dimensions were evaluated. Particularly, the elements in the matrices were, on the one hand, types of active tourism activities by natural setting (ground, underground, water, underwater and aerial) and, on the other hand, dimensions of sustainable development goals (economic, social, environmental, cultural and governmental). The use of the Forgotten Effects Theory allowed us to analyse incidence relationships, both direct causalities identified by experts in the first place, and also significant linkages between elements in the matrices which had been overlooked initially but showed a strong incidence after applying the aforementioned research method (indirect causalities). Besides this identification of overlooked incidences or “forgotten effects”, another remarkable contribution of this pioneer work is in the selection of themes or objects of study included in the fuzzy metrics, as no other work relating active tourism activities and sustainable development dimensions was found in the literature.
