A chapter in Proceedings of the International Conference on Emerging Challenges: Sustainable Strategies in the Data-Driven Economy (ICECH 2024), 2025, pp 613-629 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Energy demand is always present in each country’s development policies. In the context of sustainable development, the approach to energy demand also needs to be consistent with sustainable development goals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interest of scholars in this topic, based on their research findings from the Scopus database. The study uses the bibliometric analysis method for 224 articles and conference papers found in the Scopus database from 1997 to the end of June 2024. The results show that this topic has been of particular interest from 2018 to present. The most influential authors, sources, documents, and countries are explored. The co-authorship analysis reveals the research collaboration network on energy demand that aligns with sustainable development goals, while the co-word analysis pinpoints the interests of scholars over time. VOSviewer and the bibliometrix R-package tools support the data processing.
