A Bibliometric Analysis on Green Supply Chain Management: A Preliminary Result

Green supply chain (GSC) is one of the main efforts aiming to integrate environmental parameters (or requirements) with supply chain management systems. It is a fast-moving and multidisciplinary field. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of the field by collecting data from Web of Science (WOS) for the period of 1997 to 2010. In this short paper, we utilize a total of 151 papers with 1,526 citations from WOS. Based on these papers and citations, it evaluates the research performance of the GSC by identifying the most productive players, major scholarly communication media, highly cited authors, influential papers and emerging stars.
