Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the knowledge on the linkages be-
tween Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Twin Transition agenda

(TT), and the entrepreneurship concept by exploring the SDG-orien-
tation of digital sustainable entrepreneurship (DSE) research in accor-
dance with bibliometric indicators. First, a bibliometric analysis was

conducted on 39 articles, selected by PRISMA method from 229 re-
trieved publications on the Scopus database. Second, a conceptual con-
tent analysis was executed on full-text publications using keyword anal-
ysis to identify the SDG-orientation of DSE research. Findings suggest

that, SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being) is the highest and SDG14

(Life below Water) is the least discussed goal by DSE research. Priori-
tizing the environmentally related goals, DSE research also differs from

the total SDG-related literature in terms of SDG-orientation. Further,
stronger preference for qualitative approaches and higher emphasis on
the digital social entrepreneurship concept is observed within DSE field.

Moreover, majority of DSE publications are authored by European au-
thors and sourced by European journals. Drawing on each bibliometric

data, this paper represents (1) SDGs addressed by DSE research, (2) the

number of DSE publications with SDG-specific keywords as an indica-
tor to SDG-orientation, and (3) orientation across environmental, social

and economic pillars. As one of the first analysis on SDG-orientation of
DSE research, this study helps identify the evolution, research gaps and
scholarly collaboration opportunities within the field of research.
