Abstract Sustainable citizenship has emerged as a critical yet enigmatic concept in the pursuit of achieving sustainable societies. Despite considerable scholarly attention, the intricate connections between sustainable citizenship and societal sustainability remain underexplored. This study seeks to bridge this gap by conducting a comprehensive systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of 379 research articles. Using VOSviewer and the Biblioshiny package within R Studio, we unveil publication trends and identify the most influential sources, offering valuable insights for both established and nascent researchers. Furthermore, themes are discussed using science mapping which uncovers underexplored and emergent themes, shedding light on promising directions for future inquiry. By synthesizing existing knowledge and proposing a forward-looking research agenda, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how sustainable citizenship can serve as a cornerstone for fostering sustainable societies. The themes exploring the conjunction of sustainable citizenship and society and a framework developed express varied angles via which such societies may be developed.

This study examined the association between cyberbullying attitude and depressive symptoms among cyberbullies with guilt and fear as mediators. Two studies (college students and working professionals) were conducted through three-wave data collection. The correlation and hierarchical regression suggest that cyberbullying attitude can be associated with the development of depressive symptoms in cyberbullies, irrespective of their age and gender. The mediation analysis using PROCESS confirmed that fear and guilt can be used as links between the said association. It is the first of its kind of study that suggests that having cyberbullying attitude can be associated with the develop depressive symptoms. Secondly, it is a pioneer study that suggests guilt and fear can help link the association between cyberbullying attitude and depressive symptoms in cyberbullies, especially in the Indian context.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative force in modern agriculture, enabling precision farming, automation, and data-driven decision-making. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on IoT applications in agriculture, tracing conceptual evolution, thematic trends, and collaborative networks from 1979 to 2025. Data retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed using Biblioshiny (R-based Bibliometrix) and VOSviewer to evaluate publication patterns, country contributions, author productivity, and keyword co-occurrences. Results reveal exponential growth in IoT-agriculture research, particularly after 2016, reflecting the convergence of digital technologies and sustainability imperatives. India, China, and the United States emerge as leading contributors, collectively driving over 45% of global output, though international collaboration remains limited. Thematic mapping identifies “Internet of Things,” “machine learning,” “soil moisture,” “irrigation,” and “agricultural robotics” as motor themes propelling the field, while areas such as data governance, interoperability, and digital literacy remain underexplored. The factorial analysis highlights three dominant clusters AI-driven precision agriculture, blockchain-enabled security, and IoT-based automation illustrating the interdisciplinary nature of this research domain. By offering an integrated overview of scientific productivity, intellectual structure, and thematic evolution, this study contributes valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and agri-tech stakeholders to advance inclusive, secure, and sustainable IoT adoption in agriculture.

This study examines the transhumance routes of Gaddi shepherds, focusing on how these paths intersect with religio-cultural routes. It also emphasises their significance in shaping the community’s identity and sustaining their shepherding practices throughout the Himalayan landscape. Themes such as traditional customary arrangements between herders and cultivators, grazing alliances among shepherds, and self-allocation of pastures have been explored. Additionally, the study examines labour and logistics in shepherding practices, caste dependencies in shearing, and the impact of state regulations on pastoral systems. This article aims to understand the migratory routes of selected Gaddi shepherds and how they intersect with sacred sites across the Himalayan landscape. It argues that these routes function as cultural-ecological corridors (CECs) that integrate pastoral mobility with ritual practice. An interpretive ethnographic approach is employed to analyse religio-mythological narratives along with the routes connected to sacred sites across different religions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Gaddi shepherds and village elders. The findings indicate that routes connecting highlands and lowlands have converged to enable smooth transitions and flexible sociocultural and economic interactions through customary institutions. The findings suggest that contemporary Gaddi migratory routes have emerged through the convergence of multiple CECs, thereby reinforcing the deep integration of pastoral mobility with the sacred landscapes they traverse. The study examines aspects such as migratory distance, seasons, duration and transit halts. Finally, migratory routes are mapped using Google Maps for better comprehension.
