Bibliometric Analysis of Social and Environmental Accounting Research and United Nations SDG Achievement

<jats:p>This chapter contributes to the knowledge and understanding of recent trends in social and environmental accounting with the Sustainable Development Goal of the UN Agenda 2030. This study has two specific objectives: 1) to analyse the scientific production that crosses the area of SEA with SDG achievement, quantifying the articles published by year and by title of origin, by citation and research network by author, and by journal impact and 2) to identify publications by author, affiliation, and country and by type, subject, and funder. It is important to understand how sustainability accounting research might contribute to responsible business management towards SDG. A bibliometric analysis of articles published in journals in the Scopus database was carried out in the period between 2016 and 2021. The results of this study describe the current state of research in SEA and SDG achievement and provide a framework that can guide researchers. </jats:p>
