Green Letters and CLCWeb were identified as the primary journals publishing ecocriticism-related research. The most productive authors are Dellacasa, Raihanah, and Wardani. The year 2021 recorded the highest scientific impact (h-index 5; g-index 9), while 2022 stood out with the highest number of citations (75 citations across 23 articles), with the most cited article being Arafah et al.
