A Scientometric Analysis of Remanufacturing by Mapping Scientific, Organizational, and National Concentration Zones

The considerations of global sustainability have dramatically increased the importance remanufacturing process. Many scholars started focusing on this vital area from both a management and an engineering point view. Previous studies aimed to categorize using traditional review approaches, smaller body literature mostly managerial aspects remanufacturing. Our paper is only study for which tech-mining scientometric methods are used examine research, purpose identifying top actors key trends with regard business technological approaches. We combine management- engineering-related in study. results shed light principal actors, nations, organizations, scientific domains field. Remanufacturing research categorized co-occurrence-based clustering method. This identifies four broad clusters: production planning control remanufacturing, material engineering, supply chain process, applications new trends. offers benefits numerous parties: policymakers field, academics who wish see domains, those practitioners interested management, processes, technologies activities.
