Abstract :Aim: This study aims to examine publications in the field of collaborative consumption, determine the performance and impact of the countries, institutions, sources, authors, and words that publish, reveal the current state of the literature, and provide a general direction for future studies. Method: In this study, bibliometric performance analyses were conducted using data obtained from the WoS database with the R program bibliometrix package. Results: The study first outlined the general profile of publications on collaborative consumption. Then, based on the research questions, the top ten countries, institutions, sources, authors, and keywords were identified in terms of performance and effectiveness using criteria such as total number of publications, total number of citations, frequency, and various indices. Conclusion: The study found that the most influential countries were China and the US, the most influential institutions were the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya and Fudan University, the most influential sources were the Journal of Cleaner Production and Sustainability, and the most influential authors were Frederic Marimon and Tsan-Ming Choi. The most frequently used keywords were sharing economy, collaborative consumption, and sustainability. It was concluded that the collaborative consumption literature generally follows Bradford\\\'s law but does not comply with Lotka\\\'s law. Originality: Although bibliometric studies covering the topic of collaborative consumption are available in the literature, the vast majority of them focus on issues such as the sharing economy, collaborative economy, sustainability, or shared consumption. Therefore, the original contribution of this study is that it focuses solely on comprehensively determining the scientific performance of the concept of collaborative consumption.
