“…In addition to qualitative methods, quantitative methods should be applied for more precise measurements of CE progress and for developing systems of CE regional indicators. Recent research devoted to these measures has used an index method approach [124,129], hierarchical structure model and evaluation index system [127], and fuzzy mathematic and matter elements approaches [130]. A selection and substantiation of methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis could be conducted after more extended research on the specifics of transitional processes that should be evaluated, and the specifics of methods used for those analyses.…”

“…Different methods were discussed for measuring CE conditions at the micro level and at the level of industrial parks [123][124][125][126]. Some studies dedicated to CE indicators at a regional level were based on Chinese case studies [63,[127][128][129][130][131]. There have also been attempts to propose indicators for public management at national and international levels [132].…”

This paper presents the development of a concept for a circular economy (CE) regional monitoring framework for European countries, an example that can be used by regional policymakers as a supportive instrument for faster and more effective implementation of the CE model of regional development. The work identifies appropriate focus areas and ‘pillars’ for such a framework, and proposes key aspects for evaluating CE-based regional development. The concept for the CE regional monitoring framework is divided into a basic (conceptual) level and an applied (practical) level in order to connect the concept of CE with its practical implementation, evaluation, and monitoring in a given region. The study also highlights the European context of the CE concept and its similarities and differences in relation to existing CE concepts around the world.

“…The text of the interviews was based on the existing literature in this field and sent to a group of 21 experts considered key informants because of their knowledge about the CE at the regional level. The final list of interviewees was elaborated according to the guidelines of the regional government and it proportionally represented the main groups of stakeholders, including society (social agents), administration and the business sector, all of which contribute to the responsible behaviour of companies (Camilleri, 2017), in line with the three main stakeholder categories pointed out by Banaitė and Tamošiūnienė (2016) for a CE (Table 9). The interviews, each lasting approximately 30 minutes, were recorded, transcribed and analysed for trends and patterns of response (Dolowitz and Medearis, 2009).…”

The literature on the circular economy at the micro-level has mainly focused on the analysis of the circular business model and implementation of different circular-related practices, but the process of adoption by businesses of the circular economy is still under investigation. Therefore, through a study in the region of Aragón, Spain, the main circular economy-related activities implemented by a sample of 52 businesses are classified into four levels as an approach to the change process that firms can undergo to adopt the circular economy. In summary, it can be stated that circular economy-related activities are being introduced by businesses progressively, from a minor activity to a greater number of activities, but that these activities do not respond to the incremental closure of material loops within the circular economy framework. The applied indicators enhance the knowledge on the environmental management accounting applied to the CE for the reporting and the relations with stakeholders. In addition, the measurement of the introduction of the circular economy in different businesses is relevant for practitioners and for policy makers, in response to the institutional initiatives for the promotion of the circular economy at the territorial level.

“…The year 2016 marks the emergence of CE research focused on the European context. In particular, [60] focus on CE indicators system in the European context, which highlights the dramatic shift of a research trajectory focused mainly on China. This paper is a source to the literature reviews by [14] and [2], and a sink to [55] from Economics.…”

A Systematic Literature Network Analysis of Existing Themes and Emerging Research Trends in Circular Economy

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The debate about Circular Economy (CE) has been increasingly enriched by academics through a vast array of contributions, based on several theoretical perspectives and emanating from several research domains. However, current research still falls short of providing a holistic and broader view of CE, one that combines existing themes and emerging research trends. Accordingly, based on a Systematic Literature Network Analysis, this paper tackles this gap. First, a Citation Network Analysis is used to unearth the development of the CE literature based on papers' references, whilst the Main Path is traced to detect the seminal papers in the field through time. Second, to consider the literature in its broader extent, a Keywords Co-Occurrence Network Analysis is conducted based on papers' keywords, whereby all papers in the dataset, including the non-cited papers, are assessed. Additionally, a Global Citation Score analysis is conducted to uncover the recent breakthrough research, in addition to the Burst Analysis used to detect the dynamic development of CE literature over time. By doing so, the paper explores the development of the CE body of knowledge, reveals its dynamic evolution over time, detects its main theoretical perspectives and research domains, and highlights its emerging topics. Our findings unfold the evidence of eight main trends of research about CE, unearth the path through which the CE concept emerged and has been growing, and concludes with promising avenues for future research.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1633 2 of 24 of CE, we explore the process of knowledge conception, dissemination and progress through a dynamic lens, with the aim to unearth its ongoing evolution. Accordingly, our main research question is: What are the existing themes and emerging research trends in Circular Economy?With this aim, we conduct a Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), which consists of a novel literature review method based on a dynamic approach that allows for uncovering how academics have addressed a specific topic over time since its early appearance. In other words, the SLNA results would complement the already existing systematic literature reviews about CE, in the sense that they supplement the reader with a synthesis of the dynamic development of the field, and a set of CE research development themes based on objective measurements.Scholars designed the SLNA as a quantitative-based method that builds on both systematic literature review and bibliographic network analysis [8]. The SLNA allows for embracing the knowledge of a field in its broader view and inherent value by identifying the main paths and key issues shaping its growth in a more rigorous way compared to conventional literature reviews [9]. Indeed, a conventional literature review usually relies on content analyses, which omit the dynamic evolution of the research. Moreover, the selection and categorization of literature relies on subjective, rather than objective tools. On the contrary, the SLNA relies on objective tools and algorithms (e...
