A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF MANDATORY CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY USING RSTUDIO: BASED ON SCOPUS DATABASE

Abstract

Purpose: CSR in India has been the focus of many researchers. This paper aims to map the intellectual structure of mandatory CSR research, identifying influential authors and journals, current and evolving issues, and future research direction. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using the RStudio package, a bibliometric analysis of 130 articles is conducted in mandatory CSR by extracting data from the Scopus database for ten years (2012-2022). Findings: The main results show the first article was published in 2012, and over 85% of articles have been published in the last five years. In 2021, 33 articles were published; in 2022, it published 34 articles, a new peak. The result shows that "Social Responsibility Journal" is the most productive journal, and 2021 is the most productive year; Bhattacharyya A, Kansal M, Rahman ML, and Ray S is the most contributing author. Practical implications: This article is to analyze the prominent trends in the journal concerning papers, authors, institutions, nations, journals, subjects, and keywords. The results of this study will help readers obtain a complete comprehension of the publication. Originality: Since CSR was made mandatory in 2014 in India and other countries, hardly any study has done a bibliometric analysis on mandatory CSR. Limitations: Scopus is the only source of the database used; other databases like the web of science, google scholar, etc., are not considered. The data is available only for ten years; from 2012 to 2022, only the keyword "mandatory CSR" is used for 130 articles
