The review included 1124 documents from Web of Science (WoS) datasets and 169 documents from the Scopus database. The findings indicated a considerable grow thin publications in this area of research, driven by efforts from various researchers, institutions, nations, and academic journals worldwide. Key research themes, trends, approaches, and knowledge structures were identified, providing insights into the intellectual, social, and conceptual aspects of this field. Additionally, this study covered the implications, restrictions, and potential future avenues for research.
