A flowchart shows the process for identifying, acquiring, organizing, purifying, analyzing, and reporting data.At the top, under “Assembling,” the process begins with the “Identification” of research questions concerning SMFs in enterprise contexts. The data is as follows: “Domain: Sustainability measurement frameworks (S M Fs) in enterprise contexts” Below this label, under the same box, “Research questions:”, the questions are as follows: “What SMFs have been developed and applied in enterprise settings?” “How appropriate are these SMFs for non-commercial and hybrid enterprises?” “What gaps and future research directions exist?” “Source type: Peer-reviewed journal articles” “Source quality: Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, Wiley, SAGE, ABDC” Moving downward, an arrow pointing downwards from the “Identification,” the next stage, “Acquisition,” involves the process of data collection. This stage outlines the data as follows: “Search mechanism and material acquisition: Electronic databases Search period: till 2024 Search keywords: “sustainability measurement” OR “measuring sustainability” OR “sustainability estimation” OR “measurement of sustainability” OR “sustainability evaluation”; KW3 equals KW2 plus “sustainability measurement frameworks” ScienceDirect (n equals 1,027); Taylor and Francis (n equals 146); SAGE Journals (n equals 35); Scopus (n equals 1,941); Web of Science (n equals 1,079); JSTOR (n equals 324); Wiley Online Library (n equals 321)” The third stage, “Organization,” under the title “ARRANGING,” has the data as follows: “Organizational codes: Theories, contexts, constructs (indicators, dimensions, metrics), methodology Organizing framework: TCCM framework (Paul & Rosado-Serrano, 2019)” Moving downward, an arrow pointing downwards from the “Organization,” the next stage, “Purification,” involves the process of data collection. This stage outlines the data as follows: “Article type excluded: Non-English publications, conference papers, book chapters, editorials, government or corporate reports Article type included: Peer-reviewed journal articles focusing on enterprise-level SMFs After duplicate records removed: n equals 3,691; Non-empirical records removed: n equals 3,961; After removing records with missing information: n equals 2,990; After removing serials and book chapters: n equals 2,267; Title and abstract screening: n equals 2,267 with an arrow selected n equals 252; Full-text articles assessed: n equals 252; Final studies included: n equals 161” The next stage, “Evaluation,” under the title “ASSESSING,” has the data as follows: “Analysis method: Thematic analysis Agenda proposal method: Gap analysis for theory, construct, context, and method in the business sustainability measurement domain.” Moving downward, an arrow pointing downwards from the “Evaluation,” the next stage, “Reporting,” involves the process of data collection. This stage outlines the data as follows: “Reporting convention(s): Tables, figures, and narrative aligned to TCCM Limitations: English-only resources, peer-reviewed sources Sources of support: Expert consultants, peer feedback”
