Abstract: This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of risk management research developments in the energy sector by using bibliometric analysis techniques. We apply the SciMAT bibliometric analysis software to understand how the intellectual base of this topic has evolved over time and what the major themes are that have contributed to this evolution. We analyse 679 publications referenced in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus to map the content of publications on risk management research in the energy sector over a period of 30 years (1993–2022), following the methodical rigour of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses). Our results identify and support the evolution of risk management research in the energy industry, its interactions, its stability, and changes in its research network. Our work contributes to the current debate on identifying trends and enhancing understanding of the evolution in the energy sector from the perspective of risk management research. It can also be a reference point for those interested in deepening their knowledge in this field.
