A PRISMA flow diagram shows the screening and selection process of studies identified through databases.The PRISMA flow diagram shows three section headings arranged vertically on the left side: “Identification”, “Screening”, and “Included”. The flowchart is divided into two columns. The left column contains five text boxes, which are labeled from top to bottom as follows: Text box 1: “Records identified from Web of Science 1,293, Scopus 1,688, and Emerald 314, total of 3,295”. Text box 2: “Records screened (n equals 840)”. Text box 3: “Reports sought for retrieval (n equals 320)”. Text box 4: “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 309)”. Text box 5: “Studies included in review (n equals 60)”. The right column contains four text boxes, which are labeled from top to bottom as follows: Text box 6: “Records removed before screening; 2,455 records were found to be duplicates across the three databases”. Text box 7: “Records excluded (n equals 520): 1) innovation mentioned only in the title, keyword, or abstract without being the focus of the study or subject to further elaboration”. Text box 8: “Reports not retrieved (n equals 11)”. Text box 9: “Reports excluded 249: (1) focus solely on social innovations, (2) innovation-related social activities within commercial enterprises”. Text boxes 1 and 6 are placed under the heading “Identification”. Text boxes 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are placed under the heading “Screening”, and text box 5 is placed under the heading “Included”. Text box 1 is connected to text box 2 with a downward arrow. Text box 2 is connected to text box 3 with a downward arrow. Text box 3 is connected to text box 4 with a downward arrow. Text box 4 is connected to text box 5 with a downward arrow. Text box 1 is connected to text box 6 with a rightward arrow. Text box 2 is connected to text box 7 with a rightward arrow. Text box 3 is connected to text box 8 with a rightward arrow. Text box 4 is connected to text box 9 with a rightward arrow.
