Behavioural and Institutional Drivers of Green Technology Adoption: An Extended Technology Acceptance Model for Sustainability Transitions

Frontiers in Psychology (Environmental Psychology), under review

Open and reproducible research materials supporting the article:

πŸ“˜ Project overview

This repository provides open, transparent, and reproducible research materials supporting the conceptual and analytical development of an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for the study of green technology adoption.

Rather than offering primary empirical datasets or predictive models, the repository documents the analytical workflow, bibliometric procedures, and conceptual structuring that underpin the article’s theoretical contribution. The materials are intended to support methodological transparency, interpretative clarity, and the use of the proposed framework in future empirical research.

The project integrates perspectives from environmental psychology, behavioural public policy, and sustainability governance, with a particular focus on institutional dimensions such as trust, legitimacy, transparency, and community support.

πŸ“ Repository structure

  • docs/
    Rendered project website (GitHub Pages) generated with Quarto, including the research companion page, reproducible educational notebook, and documentation supporting transparency and reuse.

  • scripts/
    Reproducible R scripts used for bibliometric mapping, semantic analysis, and figure generation, including workflows based on VOSviewer outputs.

  • data/
    Bibliometric datasets used in the study, including raw metadata exported from Scopus and cleaned datasets derived during preprocessing.
    Processed data files such as keywords_list.json contain the keyword co-occurrence network exported from VOSviewer and used as input for the bibliometric visualisations and analyses.

  • figures_tiff/
    Publication-ready bibliometric figures and conceptual diagrams corresponding to the main article and Supplementary Material, exported in high-resolution TIFF format (300 dpi).

  • images/
    Visual assets and schematic illustrations used for the project website and explanatory materials (non-publication figures).

  • references/
    Bibliographic references and citation files used in the manuscript and supplementary analyses.

πŸ” Reproducibility and transparency

This repository follows principles of open science, conceptual reproducibility, and methodological transparency.
All analytical steps reported in the article are documented to allow other researchers to:

  • trace the analytical logic of the study,
  • reproduce the bibliometric mapping procedures,
  • adapt the conceptual framework to alternative sustainability or policy contexts.

The materials are provided for research and educational purposes, and are not intended to function as a ready-made predictive or decision-support tool.

All materials are versioned and archived via Zenodo to ensure long-term preservation and citability.
