Trends in CSR, Corporate Governance and Education Research: A Bibliometric Analysis
Abstract

This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive analysis of the research landscape at the intersection of corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate governance (CG), and education, shedding light on existing research trends and future directions. By employing a rigorous quantitative approach, the study examines the chronological evolution, geographic distribution, and thematic clusters within this multidisciplinary field. The analysis unveils fluctuating patterns in annual scholarly output, highlighting the dynamic nature of this research domain. It identifies seminal publications and influential authors that have shaped the intellectual discourse, while underscoring the prominent role of prestigious journals in disseminating impactful works. Furthermore, the study illuminates the geographic diversity of research efforts, with nations like the UK and Australia emerging as significant contributors. Despite significant advances, notable research gaps persist, particularly in understanding CSR’s long-term impacts on educational system, examining CSR approaches across diverse cultural and economic contexts, and fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations. By identifying these gaps, the study aims to offer insights that can inform future research, guide corporate strategies, and influence policymaking within the realms of CSR and educational development. Ultimately, this bibliometric study provides a comprehensive sketch to navigate the intricate landscape of CSR and education research, offering valuable insights to academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
