Abstract: Research on socially responsible investing (SRI) has gained momentum in recent years. Pursuant to the gap of comprehensive review, the current study aims to identify the main areas and the current dynamics of the SRI research and suggest future research directions. Using a blend of bibliometric methods on visualisation of similarities (VOS) viewer and Biblioshiny on a sample of 1,073 articles from the Scopus database from 1985, we find the most influential articles, authors, sources, and publications within the network. Current themes were explored and impediments to growth in literature were identified. SRI research revolves around performance evaluation of socially responsible investment avenues, green finance, socially responsible investment implications, triangulating corporate social responsibility (CSR), SRI and corporate performance, and environment and sustainability. Future research directions concluded the bibliometric review. This study would be notable work for the readers to gain a quick understanding of recent trends and knowledge gaps in the SRI area. Managers can apply sustainability management practices, CSR investment, and environment, social, and governance (ESG) investment with the present study as the motivation principles.
