Abstract: The rapidly evolving domain of logistics has seen an exponential growth in research articles in this discipline. A variety of literature evaluations have been produced, each concentrating on specific aspects of logistics such as network architecture, supplier inventory control, information systems, and others with a wider framework. This paper includes a complete bibliometric analysis as well as a descriptive review of green logistics, sustainability, transportation and reverse logistics. The investigation begins with the identification of 1,296 scientific studies, which are subsequently narrowed down to works in supply chain-related domains. This comprehensive analysis of the domain aids in graphical interpretation of publication history through time as well as identifying areas of current research interest and prospective directions for future study. The findings provide a solid path for future research in this domain.
