ABSTRACT
The increasing role of environment-oriented management methods is reflected in the development of theoretical aspects of "green" logistics. The author of the article analyzed the total number of articles published over the past 8 years on this topic. As a database, three modern science-metric systems have been chosen: Elibrary, SpringerLink, Scopus. Comparative analysis has shown that the number of publications devoted to a certain degree to "green" logistics has grown over the analyzed period of time. Most actively this direction is developing in Russia. However, there is a certain lag in the publication activity in comparison with foreign science-metric databases. The main reasons for some delay in the Russian scientific school have been identified. Within the framework of the article basing on the previous period study the forecasted number of published articles in 2018 is proposed.
