The vital role of scientometrics in modern research

Resumen

The study of scientometrics has increasingly become vital in mapping the trajectory of scientific progress and understanding the dynamics of academic research (Rivera et al., 2024). Scientometrics, the quantitative study of science, technology, and innovation, plays a crucial role in comprehending the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge (Xu et al., 2024). By analyzing publication patterns, citation networks, and research trends, scientometric studies provide essential insights into the dynamics of scientific progress and the impact of research on society (Cortés, 2023). This special issue of Clío América is dedicated to presenting a series of scientometric reviews that shed light on various aspects, including agricultural and environmental sustainability, organic coffee production, avocado cultivation, entrepreneurship, inclusive marketing, dynamic capabilities, e-leadership, and sustainable tourism. Despite its importance, scientometric research faces several challenges. Data accessibility and quality are often limited, making comprehensive analyses difficult (Chi & Glänzel, 2024; Cortés, 2023). The complexity of integrating data from multiple sources, such as Scopus and Web of Science, poses additional hurdles (Lin, Y et al., 2023). Moreover, the rapid growth of scientific literature necessitates advanced tools and methodologies to effectively analyze and interpret vast amounts of information (Bornmann & Lepori, 2024; Sourati & Evans, 2023).
