Ethical banks in business, management and accounting studies: a science map of the field

The purpose of this paper is to present an exhaustive knowl edge map related to studies in Business, Management and Accounting with regard to ethical banks. Our research has adopted bibliometric analysis based on the similarity visualisation technique by analysing 75 articles published between 1995 and 2022 through the VOSViewer software, a tool for constructing and visualising bibliometric networks. The results seem to reveal the existence of three main clusters of resear ch which can be traced back to the following three topics: Finance and sustainable banking (Red cluster); Ethical banks and Islamic banking (Green cluster); CSR and Financial crisis (Blue cluster). This study contributes to systematize scientific knowledge on a relevant topic in such a way as to encourage scholars to investigate new areas of research.
