Abstract
Production inputs and other resources utilised in organisational operations have significant environmental effects. Green supply chain integration (GSCI) has attracted enormous interest from both academics and practitioners lately, mainly because of its essential role in promoting sustainability. Studies on GSCI are largely of the view that there are significant gains to be realised from it. This study analysed the current research progress and frontier dynamics on GSCI. It utilised the Web of Science citation database to search and filter relevant documents. A total of 969 articles were obtained from 1999-2023. Thereafter, a bibliometric analysis method using Bibliometrix was employed to study the literature characteristics and research hotspots. The study found that GSCI is a contemporary study area; published literature GSCI is exponentially increasing, peaking in 2022; the Journal of Cleaner Production is the most relevant source; Harbin Institute of Technology, University of Derby, and others have a strong influence on GSCI research, the USA is the most cited country, and, China is the most active country in terms of collaborations with other countries, having the highest article collaborations with the United Kingdom.
