    The impact of co-creation and co-invention in supply chains: a bibliometric review
    (Emerald, 2022-11) Routroy, Srikanta
    Co-creation and co-invention are two diverse spheres in modern-day supply chains. Despite literature suggesting the existence of similar coherence between these concepts, the availability of published theory favoring these ideal lacks justification. This research aims to investigate the correlation and convergence of these well-known concepts to support a combined impact on research.

    Understanding fish waste management using bibliometric analysis: A supply chain perspective
    (Sage, 2022-09) Routroy, Srikanta
    Food loss and waste have become an issue of global significance, considering their concurrent effects on the socioeconomic and environmental facet of society. Despite this domain gaining prolific attention recently, issues hampering the effective utilization of residues from fish processing usually go unidentified in developing economies such as India. This occurs mainly owing to fragmented supply chains, inappropriate handling, discontinuous cold chains, inadequate temperature monitoring and so on, affecting quality and causing underuse. Any researcher trying to understand the prospects of utilizing these fish processing co-streams in a developing economy with the vision of improving consumption, economic sustainability, reducing discards and promoting circularity faces a lacuna. The authors address this demand in research by identifying the validity of this domain both in the global and native research community by conducting a detailed review using bibliometric analysis and content analysis. Data from Scopus with 717 documents, comprising 612 research articles from 78 countries, 1597 organizations and 2587 authors, are analysed. Results signify (i) developing a focus on hydroxyapatite production, bio-methane generation, transesterification processes, biomass and the rest raw material generated from fish processing, and (ii) reduced research on supply chain-related aspects despite their considerable importance. To comprehend this deficiency, especially in the Indian stance, barriers hindering the utilization of generated by-products are identified, and recommendations for improvements are proposed. The results will provide the struts for a circular and sustainable supply chain for processed seafood in developing economies.

    A bibliometric analysis of circular economy concept in E-waste research during the period 2008–2020
    (Elsevier, 2021) Routroy, Srikanta; Dasgupta, Mani Sankar
    This paper provides an overview of standard literature publications during 2008–2020 on e-waste linked circular economy concept using bibliometric analysis. It presents key topic of waste to wealth and reduction of an environmental hazard. As applied in e-waste management, the concept of circular economy has received considerable attention among the research community over the past few decades. The Scopus database is utilized to retrieve the peer-reviewed articles from 2008 to 2020. A total of 326 publications were identified to focus on e-waste and circular economy. The parameters examined are document type, year wise and journal wise distribution, top authors, top citation and keywords. After that, VOSviewer software is used to visualize the current trends as well as the recent hotspots. It is observed that the topic of a circular economy is encircled by various issues such as e-waste, reuse, recycle, and sustainability in a density map of frequency of appearance of keywords. A few factors are also identified for improved e-waste management and for achieving the sustainable development goals of 2030 though minimized utilization of natural resources.
