Social Innovation: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Concept and its Current Trends

Resumen

The social innovation concept was developed in 2006, which is why it is considered a new term in the construction stage. This article aims to present the beginning, evolution, and current trends of social innovation, in addition to showing the seminal authors and those with the highest number of publications, journals with publication trends on the subject, the methodologies used, and the countries that support this research. The methodology consisted of a literature systematic review through its bibliometric analysis with the application of graph theory. Among the most outstanding findings is that the concept is heterogeneous without defined limits. Its analysis was generated at four levels: general, macro, meso, and micro, each with its internal tendencies. However, there are still methodological deficiencies related to theoretical frameworks for the concept of investigation and the absence of sectorial studies with specific cases that show the application of social innovation.
