The main idea of the study is based on the assumption that the level of representation of a term in scientific journals and articles can represent the main stages of this term formation in scientific discourse. The analysis of the representation of the term “environmental sustainability” in open access scientific journals provides an opportunity to explore the basic patterns of development the idea of environmental sustainability in certain areas of knowledge. The aim of the study is to analyze statistical data on the use of the term “environmental sustainability” in scientific journals to outline the scope of scientific content of environmental sustainability in scientific and information space. The analysis was carried out in two directions: the use of the term in certain areas of research; general presentation of the term in the scientific apparatus of articles. It is established that the leading factors of general social content, which led to the emergence of the concept of ecological sustainability in scientific texts, were global environmental problems. The dynamics of using the term over the past few decades is described and three main stages of this concept implementation in the scientific and information space are identified: fragmentary, gradual stability and dynamic.
