Data Visualization of Decision Support Systems Research in Sustainability: A Bibliometric Analysis

The development of scientific research for decision support system in the area of sustainability is growing steadily from 1991 with an increasing trend up to 2022. It is of utmost necessity to identify the potential areas as well as the severity of this research. Thus, the aim of this study is to visualize the scientific research on decision support system on sustainability by conducting bibliometric analysis. The data visualization was performed using the VOSviewer software and data analysis tool available in the Scopus database. A total of 1736 publications in relation to decision support system review related to sustainability, were extracted from Scopus database ranging from 1991 to 2022. Co-citation analysis and co-word analysis were conducted to visualize the evolution of research themes in this field. Four main clusters were identified which mainly related to decision support system applications, decision approach, environmental aspect and water management. The findings of this study help researchers to understand the nature of decision support system research in sustainability from across the world and suggest future research directions.
