Abstract
Dünya üzerinde ticari faaliyetlerin ve bu faaliyetlerle beslenen yoğun tüketimin etkisiyle sürdürülebilirlik kavramı birçok açıdan dikkat çeken bir kavram haline gelmiştir. Üretim ve tüketimin artışı doğal kaynakların tahribatını hızlandırmaktadır. Bu açıdan gelecek nesillerin gereksinimlerini karşılayacak şekilde doğal kaynakların kullanımı ve toplumsal refahın uzun vadeli devamlılığı sağlamak önemlidir. Çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutları olan sürdürülebilirlik kavramı bu noktada ehemmiyet kazanmakta, farklı alanlarda ortak amaca hizmet eden koşullar yaratılmaktadır. Toplumların hızlı bir şekilde artış gösteren talebi de doğal kaynakların tüketimini artırmaktadır. Küresel ticaretin temelini oluşturan ihracat ise sürdürülebilirlik kavramı ile ilişkilendirilmekte; yüksek üretim faaliyeti ve kaynak kullanımı, uzun vadeli ve istikrarlı kârlı piyasa, toplumsal refahın gözetilmesi hususları sürdürülebilirliğin boyutları ile doğrudan ilgilidir. Buradan yola çıkarak bu çalışma bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile sürdürülebilirlik ve ihracat kavramlarına odaklanmıştır. Scopus veri tabanı üzerinden 2009 ve 2023 yılları arasında yayınlanmış makaleler içinden her iki anahtar kelimeyi de dikkate alan 2201 yayın ele alınmıştır. Ekonomik büyüme, tarım, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik ve uluslararası ticaret gibi konularla sürdürülebilirlik ve ihracat anahtar kelimelerinin ilişkilendirildiğine ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca kavramları bir arada ele alan ülkelerin yoğunluğuna bakıldığında Çin, ABD ve Birleşik Krallık dikkate değer veriye sahiptir. Sürdürülebilirlik kavramının popülerliğinin devam edeceği öngörülürken, ihracatın etkisiyle çevresel ve ekonomik istikrar adına da önemli gelişmelerin söz konusu olması beklenmektedir.

Abstract
The influence of commercial operations and their significant consumption has rendered the notion of sustainability prominent globally. The escalation of production and consumption is hastening the depletion of natural resources. It is essential to utilize natural resources in a manner that fulfils the requirements of future generations and promotes the enduring sustainability of social welfare. The notion of sustainability, encompassing environmental, economic, and social dimensions, becomes increasingly significant, fostering circumstances that fulfil a shared objective across several domains. The rapidly increasing demand of societies also increases the consumption of natural resources. Export, a cornerstone of global trade, is intrinsically linked to sustainability; elevated production levels and resource consumption, the quest for a stable and profitable market over the long term, and the emphasis on social welfare are directly connected to the facets of sustainability. This research examines the notions of sustainability and export using bibliometric analysis. A total of 2,021 papers were analyzed from the Scopus database, incorporating both keywords, published between 2009 and 2023. Sustainability and export keywords are linked to themes including economic growth, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and international commerce. Furthermore, an examination of the density of nations addressing themes collectively reveals significant data for China, the USA, and the United Kingdom. The notion of sustainability is predicted to maintain its appeal, with notable advancements anticipated in environmental and economic stability, influenced by export dynamics.
