Industry 5.0 and its place in the context of sustainable development

This article aims to identify key research areas related to Industry 5.0 in the context of sustainable development. This was achieved through a bibliometric analysis based on a systematic literature review. The Scopus database was explored. Based on the constructed bibliometric query Q1, 207 scientific publications addressing the indicated issues were identified. Authors' keywords were used for the analysis, based on which bibliometric maps were generated in the VOSviewer software. Based on the literature review and the analysis carried out, potential future research directions were identified in the context of Industry 5.0 and sustainable development. New scientific considerations should focus on greenwashing and skills gap issues. The results presented in the article can inspire researchers looking for research gaps or describing the state of the art in the issues addressed in this article.

Abstract

This article aims to identify key research areas related to Industry 5.0 in the context of sustainable development. This was achieved through a bibliometric analysis based on a systematic literature review. The Scopus database was explored. Based on the constructed bibliometric query Q1, 207 scientific publications addressing the indicated issues were identified. Authors' keywords were used for the analysis, based on which bibliometric maps were generated in the VOSviewer software. Based on the literature review and the analysis carried out, potential future research directions were identified in the context of Industry 5.0 and sustainable development. New scientific considerations should focus on greenwashing and skills gap issues. The results presented in the article can inspire researchers looking for research gaps or describing the state of the art in the issues addressed in this article.
