1. Overview

This study, which is based on secondary data, employed the Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA) method, combining bibliographic analysis and Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to investigate the research landscape of Industry 5.0 Supply Chains. The analysis involved 682 documents published between 2016 and 2022 and utilized VOSViewer and Bibliometrix software for multiple bibliometric analyses, drawing on publications from Dimensions, SCOPUS, and Lens databases.

2. Tools

• Bibliometix - used for multiple bibliometric analyses.
• VOSviewer - used for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks.
• Dimensions - used to collect academic documents.
• Lens - used to collect academic documents.
• Scopus - used to collect academic documents.

3. VOSViewer

In order to understand the impacts of Industry 5.0 on supply chains, we conducted a bibliometric KCN analysis using VOSviewer software to identify clusters associated with Supply Chain 5.0 (Search 1) and its three major pillars: resilience (Search 2), sustainability (Search 3), and human-centricity (Search 4).

4. Bibliometrix

We utilized Bibliometrix to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the research landscape of Industry 5.0 Supply Chains. To visualize the data, we generated seven bibliometric graphs and maps using the Bibliometrix tool in R software. These include:

• Annual Evolution of Scientific Production and main information about data
• Most Local Cited Sources (from Reference List)
• Most globally cited documents
• Wordcloud
• Word Frequency
• Trending Topics
• Thematic Evolution
