Abstract
The emerging field of green communication has quickly evolved with a geometric growth with respect to the amount of academic publications in this area. This paper aims to conduct an analysis of the green transmission literature in the field of communication during the past ten years through the use of rigorous bibliometric analysis tools. Furthermore, it highlights the future implications and directions for researchers, decision makers, and managers. The bibliometric analysis techniques were adopted for this study. This paper conducted a review of the articles that were published on green communications from the years 2007 to 2017. It determined the authors with the top contributions, as well as the sources and the leading countries that are linked to the field. Furthermore, it identified the main research topics in relation to this field. Academics and researchers were encouraged to explore this topic further. Despite the fact that the focus of this study is only on efficient communication vision in terms of green cooperation, other different aspects of this research area may also be explored by other researchers. Given the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to conduct a review on the available literature for green communication through the use of bibliometric analysis techniques. The study is distinct from others as it spans a prolong time frame of 10 years (2007-2017).
