The process starts with database selection using Web of Science Core Collection. Search criteria then include title, abstract, and author keywords with resource based view and resource based theory. The search query identifies 10,698 records. Screening by publication years 2021 to 2025 retains 4,321 records and excludes 6,377 records outside the 2021 to 2025 period. Screening by document type retains 4,249 records and excludes 72 conference, book, and editorial records. Screening by publication language retains 4,232 records and excludes 17 records in other non English languages. Data quality assessment then checks duplicate D O I entries in the entire sample of 4,232 records using Excel software. Manual audits examine a targeted 10 per cent sample of the most cited papers, n 423, and a randomized 10 per cent sample of papers, n 423. The process ends with 4,232 final unique articles included in the bibliometric analysis.PRISMA guidelines-based protocol flow diagram
