Abstract :This study was conducted to perform a bibliometric analysis of research in the field of green accounting. In this context, publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database were examined. As of March 30, 2024, a search was conducted in the WoS database using the keyword “green accounting”, with all WoS Core Collection criteria selected. The search results revealed no studies related to green accounting prior to 1992, while 250 studies were identified between 1992 and 2024. The highest number of publications was recorded in 2013. Among the analyzed studies, economics was found to be the most prominent research field, encompassing 118 publications. In terms of country-based contributions, the United States led the field with 61 studies. The World Bank was identified as the institution contributing the most to green accounting research. Additionally, Nicholas Z. Muller and Robert Mendelsohn were determined to be the most highly cited authors in the field. Furthermore, the study conducted co-authorship, institutional collaboration, and country collaboration network analyses, along with keyword mapping, bibliographic coupling of texts, and co-citation analysis of authors. Based on these analyses, visual mappings were created, and the discussion and conclusions were presented.
