Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the scientific publications about environmental efficiency by bibliometric analysis method, to reveal the temporal evolution of the studies and their status in the literature, and to identify the leading scientific outputs that have played a significant role in the development of the subject. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data of the study were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database. The words “environmental efficiency” and “data envelopment analysis” were searched from the “Subject” section (title, abstract, author keywords and keywords plus) and 1097 scientific documents were selected for the data of the study. These data were analysed using bibliometric method. Bibliometric method brings together studies in various fields and provides clues to researchers about the development of these fields. Findings: According to the research findings, 96.26% of the total publications were articles, 2.64% were papers and 1.09% were book chapters. 97.06% of the articles are research articles and 2.94% are review articles. China has the highest number of publications and citations in this field. China was followed by Spain, USA and Iran, respectively. The main publication sources of the studies are Journal of Cleaner Production with 123 articles (11.21%) and Sustainability with 71 articles (6.47%). Originality/Value: This study differs from other studies by examining the scientific publications on environmental efficiency using data envelopment analysis until May 2024 by using bibliometric analysis method. In addition, it is thought that the study will provide important clues for future research in the field of environmental efficiency.
