While research into responsible innovation is not new, there have been recent calls to explore responsible product development, across different development stages and pillars of responsible innovation. In this paper, we use scientometric analysis to explore how the responsible innovation knowledge structure has evolved over the past 50 years. Our aim is to explore the relevance of the topic and propose future research orientations. Findings show that responsible innovation is an emerging topic warranting further investigation.
