Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine scientific studies related to green accounting in terms of bibliometric indicators. In this context, the publications scanned in the Web of Science (WOS) database were classified according to the subject headings and contents determined in line with the relevant literature. The bibliometric data in the study covers the years 2010-2021, and a total of 893 articles open to access were reached in the said search. According to the results of the analysis, 2020 is the year with the highest number of articles on green accounting. Looking at the world-wide situation, the United States of America ranks first and the most effective journal is the "Journal of Environmental Accounting and Management".
