Abstract
This research aims to analyze global research trends related to sustainable performance through biometric analysis based on the Scopus database, in order to determine the level of scientific interest and the development of research output across years, countries, and scientific fields. The results showed that interest in the topic of sustainable performance has increased significantly in recent years, with the year 2024 topped the volume of scientific production with 21.75%, followed by 2025 with 19.23%, reflecting the growing shift towards integrating sustainability concepts into the fields of management, economics, and engineering. Geographical analysis also showed that Asia ranked first with 48.25% of total scientific output, followed by Europe with 31.89%, while the Americas, Africa, and Oceania recorded lower percentages, reflecting disparities in research capabilities and an imbalance in global interest in sustainability. A detailed analysis of countries showed that China, India, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and the United States topped the list of the most productive countries in this field, thanks to their advanced research infrastructure and clear institutional support for sustainability policies. In terms of scientific fields, business administration accounted for the largest share of published research (35.5%), followed by engineering (16%) and the environment (11.4%), confirming the integrative nature of sustainable performance as a focus that combines economic efficiency, social responsibility, and environmental conservation. The results of the analysis confirm that sustainable performance has moved from being a theoretical concept to a strategic framework for guiding scientific research and institutional decision-making, and that achieving integration between economic, social, and environmental dimensions has become a strategic necessity for achieving comprehensive development and a sustainable future. The research recommends the need to strengthen international cooperation and fund applied research in this area to ensure that research policies are aligned with current environmental and economic challenges.
