Abstract
Over the last couple of decades, many peer-reviewed publications focused on the bioeconomy, which it is
frequently argued to be a key part of the solution to global challenges (climate change, ecosystem degradation). This
study investigates the scientific literature on forest bioeconomy by applying a social network analysis to the bibliometric
science. The bibliometric network analysis was performed over the time-frame of 2003–2020 to provide an overview on
the main aspects characterising the forest bioeconomy issue. The results show that 225 documents on forest bioeconomy
were published by 567 organisations from 44 countries. Finland and Canada are the two most productive countries
with 32.8% and 12.7% of forest bioeconomy documents respectively. The co-occurrence network map of the keywords
shows that the forest bioeconomy is related to three main concepts: sustainable development, bioenergy production,
climate change mitigation.
