                            <p>Purpose: The aim of the study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of international academic articles on artificial intelligence and sustainability accounting in order to identify thematic clusters, research trends, and areas of conceptual concentration. By means of thematic maps, which distinguish motor, basic, niche, and emerging themes, the study seeks to provide a systematic understanding of the theoretical structure of the field.Method: Articles published between 1989 and 2024 formed the dataset of the study. For the analysis of the dataset obtained from the Web of Science database, the Biblioshiny software based on R Studio Bibliometrix was used. Thematic analyses were visualized through Biblioshiny, the proximities and distances of keywords were clustered using factor analysis, and a conceptual structure map was created. By combining the obtained findings, key authors, main topics, and the relationships between them in the research field were identified.Findings: According to the bibliometric analysis of 671 English-language articles, the international academic literature on artificial intelligence and sustainability accounting has shown significant development between 1989 and 2024. Since 2006, although limited, keywords such as “sustainability” and “technology” have started to appear alongside “artificial intelligence” and “article review”. It was determined that since 2012, publications increasingly address topics such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sustainability reporting together.Conclusion: The study reveals that the themes of “artificial intelligence,” “machine learning,” and “sustainability reporting” stand out in the academic literature on artificial intelligence and sustainability accounting. Conceptual structure and thematic analyses show that research in this area is moving toward technology-based sustainability approaches. These findings indicate the emergence of new interdisciplinary research areas and suggest that artificial intelligence will play a guiding role in sustainability accounting in the future.</p></trans-abstract>

Tematik haritalar yoluyla belirlenen motor, temel, niş ve gelişen temalar sayesinde, alanın kuramsal yapısının sistematik bir biçimde anlaşılması hedeflenmiştir.Yöntem: 1989-2024 yılları arasındaki makaleler, çalışmadaki veri setini oluşturmuştur. Araştırma kapsamında Web of Science veri tabanından elde edilen veri setinin analizlerinde ise R Studio Bibliometrix tabanlı Biblioshiny yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Tematik analizler R Studio Bibliometrix tabanlı Biblioshiny yazılımında görselleştirilmiş, anahtar kelimelerin yakınlık ve uzaklıkları faktör analizi ile kümelenmiş ve kavramsal yapı haritası ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Elde edilen bulguların birleştirilmesiyle, araştırma alanındaki önemli yazarlar, ana konular ve birbirleri arasındaki ilişkiler ortaya konulmuştur.Bulgular: Toplam 671 İngilizce makale üzerinden yapılan bibliyometrik analiz sonuçlarına göre; yapay zekâ ve sürdürülebilirlik muhasebesi ile ilgili uluslararası akademik makalelere yönelik literatürün 1989-2024 yılları arasında gelişme gösterdiği ve 2006 yılından itibaren az da olsa “yapay zekâ” ve “makale incelemesi” anahtar kelimelerinin yanı sıra “sürdürülebilirlik” ve “teknoloji” de anahtar kelimeler içinde yer almaya başlamıştır. 2012 yılı ve sonrasında “yapay zekâ”, “makine öğrenmesi”, “sürdürülebilirlik raporlaması” konularının birlikte geçtiği yayınların artmaya başladığı belirlenmiştir.Sonuçlar: Çalışma, yapay zekâ ve sürdürülebilirlik muhasebesi alanındaki akademik literatürde “yapay zekâ”, “makine öğrenmesi” ve “sürdürülebilirlik raporlaması” temalarının ön plana çıktığını ortaya koymuştur. Kavramsal yapı ve tematik analizler, bu alandaki araştırmaların teknoloji temelli sürdürülebilirlik yaklaşımlarına yöneldiğini göstermektedir. Bu bulgular, disiplinler arası yeni çalışma alanlarının oluştuğuna ve gelecekte yapay zekânın sürdürülebilirlik muhasebesine yön verici rol üstleneceğine işaret etmektedir.</p></abstract>
