What the paper says
Clean energy is one of the quintessential elements for sustaining life in modern times. This study performs a bibliometric and content analysis to comprehend sustainable development goals (SDG)-7 academic publications. Four hundred and seventeen articles were extracted from the Scopus and the Web of Science databases. VOSviewer and R Studio were used for data analysis and visualization purposes. Developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and China emerged as leading document producers. China appeared as a trendsetter in sponsoring research works through numerous funding agencies. Apergis, N., Chen, J. and Paramati, S. are the most prominent authors in the said domain. Elsevier emerged as the preferred publisher for academia. ‘Clean Energy’, ‘Energy Policy’ and ‘Climate Change’ are the preferred keywords. This study also offered a detailed road map of SDG-7 research. Emerging research themes are renewable energy, crude oil and the impact of SDG-7. The outcome of the article recommends a study on niche themes such as biofuels and activation energy, which yearn for scholarly attention. This study is the first to visualize and analyse many publications on SDG-7, identify prominent funding agencies and perform a comparative analysis of academic databases.
