Twin Transition – Hidden Links between the Green and Digital Transition

In this article, we analyze the literature on the simultaneous green (or sustainable) and digital transition, or simply the twin transition. We conduct a bibliometric analysis based on a citation network of scientific articles on digitalization and sustainability. Our results show that both research strands have well-established but largely separate research traditions. Only recently, there has been a growing interest in studying them together. An in-depth analysis of the community structure of the citation network reveals that the literature is highly fragmented, with a significant number of hidden links between the two research strands, connecting seemingly unrelated thematic clusters.
