Abstract
Eco-innovation contributes to a more sustainable environment through the development of green technologies. In this context, eco-innovations are capable of improving the performance of organizations in order to reduce environmental and social impacts. Knowing the behavior of studies on eco-innovation can help researchers in understanding the scientific and intellectual structure of the field. Therefore, the general objective of this research is to evaluate the literature on eco-innovation on the world stage from bibliometric and Scientometric analysis, with the help of CiteSpace software. The results show a highly fruitful, dynamic, and rapidly expanding field of studies, marked by a high degree of interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity. The conclusions of the research reveal the trends for studies in the area, from the understanding of the behavior of the field of studies in eco-innovation.
