Objective: This study analyzes research productivity and collaborative network analysis on green technology literature required plaintext data extracted from the Web of Science core collection database with the topic of the keywords “Green technology” “Environmental Technology” or “Clean technology” or “Sustainable technology ” was used to search with the objective of the study. Methods: The Scientometric method has been used in this research from 2014 to 2023. The bibliographic data was exported in plain text format for this research. Bibexcel, VoSviewer, and Microsoft Excel were employed for data analysis and visualization functions. Results: A total of 24325 bibliographic records were extracted from the study. The productivity of green technology publications has an upward trend from 2014 (944) at 3.88 % to 2023 (4737) at 19.47%, The highest publication in green technology written by English language 24136 (99.223%), Liu Y and Wang are most prolific authors in green technology published in 183 articles which a total citation was 6983 and h - index 43, The highest number of 1471 (6.04%) records was produced by the Journal of Cleaner Production, the highest used keyword were “Performance” 2488 (10.22%) times to search the other words Energy 1305 (5.36%).etc., Conclusions: Overall, the green technology publications are increased, and it shows the growth trends from 2014 to 2023. The results of the study will be useful for green technology-related studies scientists and researchers to find out the hotspots and collaboration networks in the green technology innovation domain.
