Abstract: While other studies have analysed the problems of innovation and innovative development at the global level or for some specific countries or enterprises, this study provides a comparison of publication activity in the sphere of innovation and innovative development in two countries with different levels of economic and sustainable industrial development. This study investigates publications on the innovation and innovative development problems regarding sustainable industrial development in Ukraine and South Korea. A bibliometric study was conducted. The data were collected from the SciVal platform. The authors used the modern techniques and procedures of bibliometric analysis and data visualisation. The results show that (1) South Korea demonstrates higher publication activity on innovation and innovative development than Ukraine; (2) in the articles, authors of both countries highlight the problem of increasing innovative activity; (3) authors from South Korea form a denser network of relationships with authors from other countries; (4) in both cases, the leading cluster formed around the keyword “innovation”; and (5) for Ukraine and South Korea, innovative activities are connected with sustainable development. This study combines qualitative and quantitative research methods. It was carried out in two phases: data preparation and data analysis, using the techniques and procedures of bibliometrics. The results demonstrate the importance of the publication of scientific papers on the effects of a country’s innovative activities to raise public awareness, foster the country’s innovation, and thus stimulate sustainable development.
