Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the interest in the field of university-industry partnerships for sustainable development. The research methodology involves conducting a bibliometric analysis based on a quantitative research method, in the form of an inventory of publishing activities in the chosen field for study. The analysis consisted of querying the database available on the Web of Science platform, which includes journals, scientific papers, books, and other documentation. The query resulted in displaying a total of 65 scientific documents existing in the database. The results obtained from the analysis of the data collected from Web of Science using VOSviewer software highlight the most cited articles, journals, and authors, as well as the existence of strong connections between universities and industries for sustainable development. The United States and China have been the primary producers of publications in this domain, each with seven works, followed by Australia (4) and England (3). The keyword-based analysis highlighted frequently used terms such as "University-industry collaboration," "sustainability," "triple helix," "management," and "innovation." The most cited author in this field is Etzkowitz H. from the International Triple Helix Institute in the United States, and one of the most cited articles is co-authored with Zhou, C.Y. from Hohai University, proposing a Triple Helix model of university-public-government for sustainable development, complementing the university-industry-government Triple Helix for innovation. This bibliometric analysis not only emphasizes the present but also tracks the evolution of researchers' areas of interest in the field of the university-industry relationship for sustainable development.
