BIBLIOGRAPHICS
Journals and rankings
We found the literature to be disjointed, widely
distributed and skewed, as have others (e.g. Baumann
et al., 2002; Klewitz & Hansen, 2011; Schiederig et

across a diverse, distributed and immature body of
literature: we have included 100 articles selected from
54 separate journals. Thirty-six journals provided one
article each, and 18 journals each provided two or
more articles. Figure 4 and Table 8 show the number of
articles provided by different journals.

mainstream journals, including the innovation journals.
Two journals, Business Strategy and the Environment
and Journal of Cleaner Production, accounted for 26
per cent of the included studies. The former is ranked
as a number 2 publication, and the latter is not ranked
