Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) models, from across the globe, have been constructed using various factors; including CSR dimensions, company credibility, CSR communication, CSR image, brand equity, and brand preference. Despite receiving much attention over the years, however, there lies a paucity of research that identifies paradigm shifts, future trends, emerging fields and prevalent research clusters in the CSR domain; a knowledge gap aimed to be filled by this research. The authors, through a quantitative systematic review, investigated 1,615 research publications in CSR from Scopus and Web of Science from 2000 to 2020. The results have been analysed using bibliometric software tools such as VantagePoint® through outputs such as (autocorrelation maps, bubble charts, and Aduna maps) and VOSviewer® outputs such as (network visualisation, overlay visualisation and density visualisation) to unveil the recent trend of CSR research.
