考虑到企业追求持续竞争优势和长期成功的重要性，可持续经营引起了学术界和产业界的广泛关注。了解这一趋势可以填补理论和实践之间的研究空白。重要的是，不仅要开展相关研究，帮助企业获得可持续性，而且要找出到目前为止已经研究过的，以及在不久的将来需要进一步探索的。本文运用科学计量学中的自动内容分析方法，对可持续经营的研究趋势进行了识别。该数据库来自1988-2015年间的Web of Science。具体地说，还引入了基于书目耦合的多阶段聚类技术，以检验哪些主题、哪些研究趋势、哪些新理念有助于科学期刊领域的可持续运营。研究结果表明，能源相关期刊是可持续经营领域的经典期刊，能源技术是可持续运营领域的热门话题。美国、英国和德国在该领域发表的期刊论文最多。随着亚洲的迅速扩张，亚洲科学家也像韩国和新加坡一样，发表了许多可持续运营的论文。可持续运营研究领域正在融入更广泛的文化背景，并与供应链管理相结合，这是一个新的趋势。
Considering the vital importance on pursuing sustaining competitive advantage and long-term success for enterprises, sustainable operation has aroused extensive interests in academia and industry. Understanding the trend can fill the research gap between theory and practice. It is vital not only to implement relevant research to help firms obtain sustainability, but also to find what has been studied till now and what need further exploration in the near future. This paper applied automatic content analysis approach from scientometrics to identify the trend of researches on sustainable operation. The database came from Web of Science during 1988–2015. Specifically, a multi-stage clustering technique based on bibliographic coupling has also been introduced to examine which topics, which research trend, and which new ideas contribute to the scientific journal fields of sustainable operation. Our results identified that energy related journals were the classic magazines in sustainable operation field and energy technology was the top topic. USA, UK and Germany had contributed the most journal articles in this field. With the rapid expansion of Asia, Asian scientists, like South Korea and Singapore, also published many sustainable operation papers. It had been a novel trend that the sustainable operation research field was incorporating a broader range of cultural backgrounds and combined with supply chain management.
