Abstract
This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to delineate the intellectual framework and thematic progression of research on Islamic Environmental Social Responsibility (ESR) reporting over the period 2000–2025. The main objective is to map publication and citation trends, identify the most influential authors, institutions, journals, and countries, and uncover the dominant and emerging themes in this field. Data were collected from the Scopus and Web of Science databases using a structured search strategy that combined Islamic, environmental, and reporting-related keywords, applied to titles, abstracts, and author keywords. The search was restricted to peer-reviewed journal articles, reviews, and selected conference papers within the defined time span, followed by a multi-stage screening and data-cleaning process to remove duplicates and exclude documents not substantively related to Islamic ESR reporting. The final corpus was analysed using a combination of performance analysis and science-mapping techniques implemented in VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny package. Performance analysis was used to describe productivity and impact patterns, while science mapping relied on co-occurrence, co-citation, and collaboration networks to visualise conceptual clusters and the evolution of research themes. The findings show that Malaysia and Indonesia lead global scholarship, with research converging around CSR, Islamic finance, and sustainable development, while ESG, green banking, and maqasid-based sustainability are gaining prominence as newer areas of interest.
