Abstract: Sustainable manufacturing provides a balance between manufacturing and the environment. The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the readers about the research trends in sustainable manufacturing related literature based on the data collected from Web of Science core collection and Scopus database using bibliometric analysis and visualisation network analysis. Different analysis has been done like trend analysis, author analysis, discipline-wise analysis, source analysis, country analysis, institution-wise analysis and cluster analysis of author keywords. This study demonstrates that the focus on sustainable manufacturing research field has been increased after 2008 and has a good scope in different fields. Co-citation analysis of countries by the name of the author shows the collaboration, contribution, and sharing of knowledge between the countries. A list of top 30 highly influential papers is also assessed from both databases. The results analysis also reveals a promising future research direction for researchers in the area of sustainable manufacturing.

Keywords: bibliometric analysis; green manufacturing; Scopus; VoS viewer; sustainable manufacturing; visualisation network analysis; Web of Science; WoS.
