Abstract This study presents the nexus of research on Carbon accounting, trade policy in the generation of digitalization. Carbon emission has experienced a rapid increment in the trade and business across the globe. On these challenging issues, United Nations has taken several steps towards accounting and mitigating the carbon emissions in the Paris agreement held in the year 2015. This paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of evolution of scholarly trends and output on Carbon accounting, trade policy and digitalization over the years as well as mapping the intellectual and social structure of the domain by identifying the most influential authors, journals, institutions, and countries. Our study adopts the Dimension.ai (an open access database) for the collection of bibliometric datasets from the year 2015 to July 2025 which includes a broad range of research articles. We employed advance bibliometric tools and VOSviewer software to visualize the citation structure, publication trends, influential authors, journal and most publishing counties. Initially, the screening process followed on the datasets to access 36027 articles published before our inclusion criteria based on keyword search. Finally, 10185 articles met the criteria and included in our data analysis. Furthermore, our finding reveals that a marked increment in the research activity following the Paris agreement with an accelerating integration of digital tools, updated trade policies and proper accountability towards mitigating Carbon emissions. The annual growth rate of publications in this fields marked a vigorous expansion especially in the year 2020 and 2023 with 1528 and 2156 publications respectively coinciding with broadening interest in sustainability and inculcation of digitalization across trade policy. The mapping of the intellectual structures reflects the “Simone Abram” as the most cited authors while “Fu Jia” and “Soumya Deb Chowdhary” has highest numbers of published papers and total link strength respectively. Moreover, the most influential journals are, “Journal of Cleaner production” and “Sustainability” ranks highest in citations, total link strength and Publications respectively. The Social structures visualized through citations among organizations as well countries with published articles reveals robust transnational connections, reflecting global imperative of carbon accounting and trade policy inclusion with digitalization. “United Kingdom” and “China” rank highest cited countries with a citation of 20360 and 15192 where as China and
UK published 567 and 489 paper highest as compared to others. This bibliometric review indicates rapid and multidimensional evolution of research on carbon accounting, trade policy and digitalization which provides a roadmap for future research and policy development and underscores the necessity for ongoing interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral inquiry to address the challenges of sustainable trade in the digital era.
