The structured flowchart presents nine steps of a literature review process. Step 1 defines the protocol. Step 2 lists research questions about development, focus, critique, and future of risk disclosure research from 2000 to 2025. Step 3 describes literature search using Scopus and Web of Science with article selection. Step 4 outlines article impact through journal ranking and citation analysis. Step 5 lists analytical framework elements, including timeframe, location, risk type, regulation, dimension, method, data source, data collection, research question, research finding, and research implication. Step 6 includes reliability and validity. Step 7 involves coding articles using Excel software. Step 8 develops insights and critique. Step 9 suggests future research directions.Structured literature review process
