Responsible higher education institutions have an impact on society and economic, environmental, and social development. These effects define the axes of the socially responsible management of the universities. The concept of university social responsibility (USR) manages these relationships to produce a positive impact on society through higher education, research, and the transfer of knowledge and technology, as well as education for sustainability. For this study, worldwide research into this subject was studied for the period 1970–2019. A bibliometric analysis of 870 articles was made, obtaining results for the scientific productivity of the journals, authors, institutions, and countries contributing to this research. The main category is business, management, and accounting. The most productive journal is the Business and Society Review, while the California Management Review is the most cited. The authors with the most articles are Stavnezer, Luo, and Lanero. The most productive institution is Wuhan University. The United States is the country with the most publications and citations, and the same country, together with the United Kingdom, make the most international contributions. Evidence shows growing worldwide interest in the economic and environmental impacts of USR. Future research should focus on analysing the links between the responsible and sustainable consumption of universities and their short-term financial, economic, and sustainable impacts.

审视大学社会责任的社会经济和环境维度的研究进展。

负责任的高等教育机构对社会以及经济、环境和社会发展产生影响。这些影响定义了大学社会责任管理的轴心。大学社会责任（USR）的概念管理这些关系，通过高等教育、研究、知识和技术转让以及可持续发展教育对社会产生积极影响。本研究研究了 1970 年至 2019 年期间全球范围内对该主题的研究。对 870 篇文章进行了文献计量分析，获得了为本研究做出贡献的期刊、作者、机构和国家的科学生产力结果。主要类别是商业、管理和会计。生产力最高的期刊是《商业与社会评论》，而《加州管理评论》被引用最多。发表文章最多的作者是 Stavnezer、Luo 和 Lanero。生产力最高的机构是武汉大学。美国是出版物和引用次数最多的国家，同一国家与英国一起做出的国际贡献最多。有证据表明，全世界对 USR 的经济和环境影响越来越感兴趣。未来的研究应侧重于分析大学负责任和可持续消费与其短期财务、经济和可持续影响之间的联系。
