ABSTRACT

Studying the research output of sustainability science from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries can give a good indication of the region’s commitment to the science of sustainability, and by extension the region’s commitment to developing a sustainable lifestyle model. Furthermore, such a study also reveals the strengths and deficiencies of the sustainability research being carried out in the region. We present and discuss the results of a bibliometric study on sustainability publications originating from GCC countries using data from Elsevier’s Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature.
