A bibliometric analysis of industrial symbiosis research in the ASEAN region
Keywords:
Industrial symbiosis, ASEAN region, Sustainable development, Bibliometric analysisAbstract
Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is considered to play an important role in realizing Sustainable Development. Furthermore, studies on IS have the potential to address the significant challenges currently facing the ASEAN region. Nevertheless, thus far no study has been conducted an overview of the research dynamics conducted out by regional researchers. This study aims to identify core literatures on IS and emerging research topics in the ASEAN. In addition, this study also analyses future IS-related research opportunities for the ASEAN region. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on articles sourced within the ASEAN region. The VOSviewer was employed to process, analyze and visualize the bibliometric data in an efficient and structured manner. Journal of Cleaner Production is the leading source of research on IS. Current research areas include Optimizing Water Use, Environmental Conservation, Energy Optimisation, and Sustainable Development Policy. Meanwhile, future research may use pinch analysis and mathematical modeling to optimise energy and material flows to maximise the potential of IS. This bibliometric analysis helps researchers identify avenues for further research on IS, particularly within the ASEAN context. It also helps them assess the likelihood of publishing their findings in a suitable journal.
