Abstract: Financial reporting in extractive industries (EIs) is a crucial function that warrants further attention in the literature. Previous studies have identified several issues related to financial reporting quality, its impact on stock prices, and the relationship between financial reporting and corporate governance. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the impact of the extractive industry's unique characteristics and the role of regulators in enhancing financial reporting practices. This study aims to illuminate the research trajectory affecting extractive firms by describing the state‐of‐the‐art regarding related accounting standards through a mapping of currently accessible studies. To achieve this, we applied a bibliometric analysis methodology. Bibliometric techniques provide a quantitative approach for objectively assessing literature, offering a comprehensive overview of influential authors, journals, themes, and countries within a specific research field. This approach also facilitates the identification of research trends and the prediction of future developments. The study highlights the growing demand for sustainability reports as the primary formalized means for companies to disclose their sustainable development efforts. Research on sustainability reporting in the mining sector underscores the importance of integrated sustainability reporting, with a focus on understanding the evolution and advancement of reporting methodologies across all dimensions of corporate social responsibility.
