Abstract:
Environmental audit is inevitably linked to climate change, one immediate target of the auditors is likely to be climate control, and the warming of the Earth and the consequent climatic changes affect us all. What is the link between environmental audit and climate change? What ties together some of these themes between environmental audit and climate change? The interaction between climate change and environmental audit has been one of the most challenging. In this paper, a scientometric analysis of 84 academic publications between 2013 and 2021 related to climate change and environmental audit is presented to characterize the knowledge domain by using the CiteSpace visualization software. First, we present the number of publications, the number of citations, research categories, and journals published through Web of Science database. Secondly, we analyze countries, authors, and journals with outstanding contributions through network analysis. Finally, we use keyword analysis and apply three types of knowledge mapping to our research, cluster view, timeline view, and time zone view, revealing the focus and future directions. We identify the most important topic in the field of climate change and environment audit as represented on the basis of existing literature data which include the Carbon Emissions, Social Capital, Energy Audit, Corporate Governance, Diffusion of Innovation Environmental Management System, and Audit Committee. The results show that climate change and environmental audit publications grew slowly, but the research are widely cited by scholars. Published journals are relatively scattered, but the cited journals are the world\'s top journals, and most research countries are developed countries. The most productive authors and institutions in this subject area are in UK, Australia, USA, Spain, and Netherlands. There are no leading figures, but the content of their research can be divided into six clusters. Future research content involving city, policy, dynamics, information, biodiversity, conservation and clustering social capital, diffusion of innovation environmental management, and audit committee are the directions for future research. It is worth noting that cities, policies, and adaptability are closely linked to public health.
摘要:
环境审计不可避免地与气候变化有关,审计员的一个直接目标可能是气候控制,地球变暖和随之而来的气候变化影响着我们所有人。环境审计与气候变化之间的联系是什么?环境审计与气候变化之间的一些主题之间有什么联系?气候变化与环境审计之间的相互作用一直是最具挑战性的问题之一。在本文中,通过使用CiteSpace可视化软件,对2013年至2021年与气候变化和环境审计有关的84种学术出版物进行了科学计量分析,以表征知识领域。首先,我们介绍出版物的数量,引用次数,研究类别,以及通过WebofScience数据库出版的期刊。其次,我们分析国家,作者,和通过网络分析有突出贡献的期刊。最后,我们使用关键词分析,并将三种类型的知识图谱应用于我们的研究,集群视图,时间线视图,和时区视图,揭示重点和未来方向。Weidentifythemostimportanttopicinthefieldofclimatechangeandenvironmentauditasrepresentedonthebasisofexistingliteraturedatawhichincludingthecarbonemissions,社会资本,能源审计,公司治理,创新环境管理体系的扩散,和审计委员会。结果表明,气候变化和环境审计出版物增长缓慢,但是这项研究被学者广泛引用。发表的期刊比较分散,但被引用的期刊是世界顶级期刊,大多数研究国家都是发达国家。这个学科领域最有生产力的作者和机构都在英国,澳大利亚,美国,西班牙,和荷兰。没有领导人物,但是他们的研究内容可以分为六个集群。未来的研究内容涉及城市,政策,动力学,信息,生物多样性,保护和集群社会资本,创新环境管理的扩散,和审计委员会是未来研究的方向。值得注意的是,城市,政策,适应性与公共卫生密切相关。
