This bibliometric study analyzes 1433 reviews on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sustainability, revealing a 74% annual growth in publications and a 171% increase in citations from 2016 to 2022. SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production) is the most studied, with significant representation in influential journals. SDGs 12 and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) are prominent across various fields, while SDGs 4, 5, and 15 show significance in specific domains. Key themes include environmental protection, circular economy, life cycle assessment, and supply chain management, with strong links to SDG 12. Other clusters highlight environmental management, renewable energy, and energy policy related to SDG 7, and urbanization linked to SDG 11. Network analysis emphasizes the critical roles of SDGs 12 and 9 in achieving a sustainable future. Alternative indicators suggest SDGs 8, 16, and 17 may influence other goals. Mainstream research focuses on SDGs 3 and 7, presenting challenges due to their complexity. SDG 7 could find suitable outlets in leading journals, but SDG 3's complexity remains a challenge. Bibliometric studies on SDGs 3, 7, and 13 offer promising opportunities if challenges are addressed. The study identifies key research areas, including progress and implementation, economic and financial dimensions, environmental sustainability, social inequality, political and institutional dimensions, data and measurement, and interdisciplinary approaches. It also highlights the use of bibliometric methods and tools, emphasizing the importance of ongoing analysis for understanding SDGs and informing policy. The study reveals trends in bibliometric research, relationships between studies and SDGs, and emerging research topics. It identifies leading countries, institutions, and journals contributing to SDG research, with China leading in publications and citations. The study also highlights the role of SDGs 12, 11, 7, 13, and 9 in research, while noting the need for increased attention to SDGs 16, 17, 10, and 5. The analysis of authorship shows high collaboration, with most publications having multiple authors. Top cited publications focus on themes like circular economy, green economy, and bio-economy, with strong links to sustainability. The study concludes that SDG 12 is closely associated with six top cited works, while SDGs 8 and 9 are linked to four reviews. SDGs 3 and 7, despite their prominence, have not been extensively studied using bibliometric methods. The study recommends further research on these SDGs to address challenges and provide insights for researchers and policymakers.
