Four Decades of the Green Computing Study: A Bibliometric Overview

Study on green computing continues to develop but is limited to one country and/or one field. From a bibliometric overview, this study aims to visually study mapping and research trends in the field of green computing on an international scale. This study used bibliometric techniques with secondary data from Scopus. Analyze and visualize data using the VOSViewer program and the analyze search results function on Scopus. This study analyzed 2,596 scientific documents published from 1979 to 2020. According to the research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, and Rajkumar Buyya from the University of Melbourne had the most active organization and individual scientists in green computing research. China and IEEE Access were the most countries and disseminated outlets of green computing. There were five category maps of collaborative researchers from around the world. Based on the identification of a collection of knowledge created from forty-one years of publication, this research proposes a grouping of green computing study themes: Computer science, Environmental management, Mobile computing, Energy, and Sustainability, abbreviated as CEMES study themes.
