Twin Transition – Hidden Links between the Green and Digital Transition

In this article, we analyze the literature on the simultaneous green (or sustainable) and digital transition, or simply the twin transition.We conduct a bibliometric analysis based on a citation network of scientific articles on digitalization and sustainability.Our results show that both research strands have well-established but largely separate research traditions.Only recently, there has been a growing interest in studying them together.An in-depth analysis of the community structure of the citation network reveals that the literature is highly fragmented, with a significant number of hidden links between the two research strands, connecting seemingly unrelated thematic clusters.
