 Examining the association between corporate social responsibility and corporate financial performance: a scientometric analysisDipanita Deb, Anupam De and Philippe Gillet International Journal of Economics and Business Research, 2023, vol. 26, issue 4, 594-626 Abstract: The association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financial performance (CFP) has been subject to extensive empirical enquiry. Previous studies have shown an equivocal association. The article aims to review the relationship between CSR and CFP and the factors determining this relationship. A new methodology has been proposed in the study to enhance the knowledge in CSR and CFP. Previous studies have performed co-citations examination. But there are no studies which used; 1) topic mapping; 2) co-citation analysis; 3) co-authorship analysis; 4) overlay visualisation. Apart from this, there are no investigations on the sources, keywords, growth trend, countries, and co-authorship analysis to link the association between CSR and CFP for the time frame of 1984-2020. The findings of this study show positive relationship between CSR and CFP; and the size of a business is the main factor which influence the relationship between CSR - CFP apart from other factors. Keywords: bibliometric analysis; CSR; CFP; citation analysis; scientometrics; literature review.
