Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

    by Mythrayee Prabakar, Raamkhumar M. H. H, Swamy T.N.V.R 
    Abstract: The evolution of work modalities has been significant over the past century and hybrid work has emerged as a pivotal model in recent years. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the development, current state, and future trajectories of hybrid work practices through a systematic bibliometric analysis. The findings reveal the dynamic nature of hybrid work, influenced by technological advancements, organisational shifts, and socioeconomic factors. This study highlights the most prolific institutions and countries that contribute to this field and maps the collaborative networks that have shaped hybrid research. Furthermore, this study discusses potential future directions and areas that require further investigation, offering valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to navigate and influence the future of their work.
    Keywords: hybrid work; science mapping; performance mapping; trend mapping; future pathways; stock analysis.

  • Circular Economy, SMEs, and the Government: An Exploratory Bibliometrics and Network Analysis   Order a copy of this article
    by Marcos Ferasso, Donizete Beck 
    Abstract: Despite the increasing attention on Circular Economy (CE) and its adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the role of government (GOV) in facilitating this transition remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by investigating the CE-SME-GOV research landscape through a bibliometric and network analysis. A systematic review of 27 Scopus-indexed documents was conducted, employing keyword co-occurrence and co-authorship network analysis using VOSviewer. The findings reveal that CE and SME-related themes dominate the literature, while government-related concepts remain marginal. Key underdeveloped areas include Circular Cities, financial incentives, and supply chain integration. The study also highlights fragmented research networks, indicating a need for greater collaboration. This research contributes to the field by identifying emerging themes and policy-related gaps, providing scholars and policymakers with a roadmap for future research and strategic decision-making.
    Keywords: Sustainability. Government. Entrepreneurship. Bibliometrics. Network analysis.
