The horizontal axis is labeled “Year” and ranges from “2008” to “2024” in increments of 2 years. The vertical axis is labeled “Term” and lists thirty specific research topics. Each research topic has horizontal lines that indicate the duration a term was active, with circular markers of varying sizes. A legend on the right labeled “Term frequency” shows circle sizes for frequencies of “250”, “500”, “750”, and “1000”. The topics are arranged by their peak frequency year. At the bottom, “valuation”, “resilience”, and “mining” each have a frequency of “250” and peak around “2015”. “environmental reporting”, “australia”, and “environmental management” peak around “2016” showing a frequency of “500”. “management”, “industrial ecology”, and “social responsibility” have a frequency of “250” and peak around “2017”. “climate change” and “global reporting initiative” have a frequency of “500”, while “environmental accounting” has a frequency of “750”, all peaking around “2018”. Moving up the axis, “corporate social responsibility”, “sustainable development”, and “triple bottom line” each have a frequency of “750” and peak around “2019”. “integrated reporting” and “carbon accounting” both have a frequency of “250”, while “sustainability” reaches the maximum frequency of “1000”, all peaking around “2020”. “stakeholder theory” and “corporate governance” have a frequency of “500”, while “sustainability reporting” has a frequency of “1000”, peaking around “2021”. The most recent trends include “financial performance”, “sustainable development goals”, and “non-financial reporting” at a frequency of “500”, peaking around “2022”. “S D G s”, “firm value”, and “E S G” have a frequency of “500”, while “profitability”, “E S G performance”, and “E S G reporting” have a frequency of “250”, all peaking between “2023” and “2024”.
