Abstract: Bibliometric analysis is used across a wide range of disciplines to provide insights into research productivity, the influence of specific authors or institutions, and the overall growth of scientific knowledge. It helps identify leading scholars, influential works, and collaborative networks, as well as forecast future research directions. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scholarly research using 1,286 articles from the Dimensions database. The analysis explores four key dimensions: citation networks, co-authorship patterns, bibliographic coupling by institutions, and co-citation of references. The citation network reveals 85 sources in 11 clusters, highlighting prominent themes such as technological forecasting, social sustainability, and international business research. Co-authorship analysis identifies 73 authors, with the largest connected network featuring 31 authors across six clusters, emphasizing collaborative dynamics. Bibliographic coupling maps 224 institutions, with central nodes like Malaviya National Institute of Technology and Symbiosis International University. Finally, co-citation analysis identifies thematic clusters around journals such as Journal of Business Research and Scientometrics, offering insights into intellectual structures. This study provides a detailed map of academic interactions, shedding light on influential works, contributors, and institutional collaborations.
