The flow begins with an oval-shaped text box on the left labeled “Assembling”. A right-pointing arrow arises from “Assembling” and points to a box on the right labeled “Identification”, and “Acquisition”. Under “Identification”, the pointers are labeled as follows: “Domain: Sustainable finance investment and financial performance”, “Research question: performance analysis and science mapping”, “Source type: Journal”, and “Source quality: Scopus”. Under “Acquisition”, the pointers are labeled as follows: “Data acquisition: Scopus”, “Search period: Up to 2023”, “Search keywords: 48 keywords”, and followed by the final pointer “Total number of studies extracted equals 881”. From “Assembling”, a downward arrow arises and points to an oval labeled “Arranging”. From this “Arranging”, a downward arrow arises and points to a final oval labeled “Assessing”. From “Arranging”, a right-pointing arrow arises and points to a box labeled as follows: “Organizing: Organizing types: subject type, document type, and language”, “Purification: Language: English. Document type: Articles. Source type: Journals. Subject area: Business, Management, and Accounting”, “Documents after purification: 403”, “Screening Criteria: Abstract reading to remove articles unrelated to the study topic”, “Total documents returned from the arranging stage: 159 documents”. From “Assessing”, a right-pointing arrow arises and points to a box titled “Evaluation”, which includes the following pointers: “Total documents for analysis equals 159”, “Performance analysis: Citation analysis of journals, publications, organization, and countries”, “Science mapping: Bibliographic coupling, co-occurrences analysis, and co-citation analysis”, “Software used: V O S viewer”, and “Future research agenda”.SPAR-4 SLR protocol for extracting the data
