Although organizational sustainability and organizational resilience are critical dynamic capabilities for business continuity management, especially in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, there are few studies that analyze the relationship between these three concepts to understand risks management. For this reason, our study analyzes these relationships to contribute to a better understanding of the subject and to propose future lines of research. We use bibliometric and content analysis, based on the Web Of Science and Scopus databases, during the period between 1998 and 13 May 2021. Main findings indicate that there is a bidirectional relationship between organizational sustainability capabilities and organizational resilience capabilities, but there is not enough evidence of their relationship with business continuity management. Additionally, results allow us to infer that there are four groups of relationships between them: (1) From Risk Management to Business Continuity Management and Organizational Resilience; (2) Resilience and Business Continuity practices; (3) Business Continuity contribution to Innovation and Sustainability; (4) Dynamic Capabilities for Organizational Sustainability and Organizational Resilience to enhance Business Continuity Management. Moreover, different stages were identified to understand the impact of organizational sustainability capabilities and organizational resilience capabilities on business continuity management facing disruptive events.

 

 

Introduction: It presents a study on the scientific production regarding the social epistemology in Brazil through a bibliometric analysis using relationship indicators of citation and co-citation of authors. It also analyzes the main influences of this theme in the national scientific literature of social epistemology. Methods: A search was carried in the following databases using the term social epistemology: Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO and BRAPCI, aiming to find papers produced in Brazil, which resulted in 24 documents and a total of 516 cited authors. The next step was to apply Price’s elitism law to highlight the most cited authors and creating a list of 22 authors. Results: The results have shown that the most cited authors were Jesse Shera, Luciano Floridi and Steve Fuller, all foreigners. As for the most cited Brazilian researcher among all the others, we can find Zandonade, also one of the most co-cited authors alongside Shera, Hjorland and Egan. Conclusions: The conclusions show that the national scientific literature on social epistemology still lacks a large production and has the Brazilian researcher Zandonade as one of its main influences as well as its founders Egan and Shera, its critic Floridi and the other theorists that form the scientific identity of this field: Fuller, Goldman, Hjorland and Budd.

 

 

Pineapple is the most exported tropical fruit in the world in terms of vol-ume. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the scientific publications on pineapple, with an emphasis on the agricultural sciences. 7,885 documents pub-lished between 1893 and 2022 (February 22nd), 2,350 of which belonged to the agricultural sciences, were retrieved from the Scopus-indexed database to be an-alyzed using the word pineapple. VOSviewer software was used for a bibliometric network analysis using author keyword mapping. 78.2% of the documents were ar-ticles, with an increase in the volume of publications over time. The scientists were from 138 countries, with India, the United States, and Brazil accumulating 36.2% of the total number. The research has focused on topics such as chemistry, food tech-nology (primarily juice), the use of pineapple as a medicinal plant, and the clinical benefits of its main enzyme (bromelain). Scientists in the chemical field reported more research than in the agricultural and biological areas due to the properties of the fruit. Our results indicate that few studies focus on rural extension or technolo-gy transfer to growers. More efforts should be made to help local pineapple grow-ers improve their yields and attain a sustainable and more environmentally friendly approach to the production of this fruit.

 

 

Due to the process of globalization, companies are obligated to observe corporate social responsibility and best practices from a sustainability approach towards their stakeholders and society. The explicit aim is to determine the relevance of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its relationship with sustainability, in order to establish trends and future lines of research. The evolution of global research on this subject has been studied from 2001 to 2018. For this purpose, a bibliometric analysis of 1832 articles has been applied, obtaining results of the scientific productivity of the journals, authors, institutions, and countries that contribute to this research. Evidence shows a growing interest in studying the relationship between socially responsible practices and the dimension of sustainability. The main category is Business, Management, and Accounting. The most productive journals are the Journal of Business Ethics and Sustainability. The authors with the most articles are Garcia-Sanchez, Moneva, and Moratis, while Kolk is the most cited. The most prolific institution is the University of Salamanca. The United States is the country with the most publications and quotes. France and China are the countries with the largest number of international collaborations in their work. Global research has been on an upward trend with optimal publication rates in recent years.

 

 

Metallic glasses (MGs) have been long investigated in material science to understand the origin of their remarkable properties. With the help of computational simulations, researchers have delved into structure-property relationships, leading to a large number of reports. To quantify the available literature, we employed systematic review and bibliometric analysis on studies related to MGs and classical molecular dynamics simulations from 2000 to 2021. It was found that the total number of articles has increased remarkably, with China and the USA producing more than half of the reports. However, high-impact articles were mainly conducted in the latter. Collaboration networks revealed that top contributor authors are strongly connected with other researchers, which emphasizes the relevance of scientific cooperation. In regard to the evolution of research topics, according to article keywords, plastic behavior has been a recurrent subject since the early 2000s. Nevertheless, the traditional approach of studying monolithic MGs at the short-range order evolved to complex composites with characterizations at the medium-range order, including topics such as nanoglasses, amorphous/crystalline nanolaminates, rejuvenation, among others. As a whole, these findings provide researchers with an overview of past and current trends of research areas, as well as some of the leading authors, productivity statistics, and collaboration networks.

 

 

Introduction: Reviews and interviews published in scientific journals have received little attention in research in the field of Information Science. The study defends the idea that the analysis of these textual genres can demonstrate scientific recognition when they are taken as objects of study from a bibliometric perspective and analyzed based on the theoretical framework of Information Science, Sociology of Science and Linguistics. Objectives: Conduct a theoretical essay on these textual genres and develop and apply an analysis model to a sample of reviews and interviews published in Revista Estudos Feministas (REF) between 2018 and 2020. Method: Exploratory and descriptive research that uses quantitative and qualitative approaches from bibliometric and content analysis. Results: The theoretical essay highlighted the characteristics of reviews and interviews, and the analysis model developed contains indicators that signal scientific recognition: the profiles of reviews and reviewed works (n = 69), reviews (n = 81) and reviewed (n = 95); the interviews and the interviewees (n = 9), the interviewers (n = 13), as well as the academic values and attributes that are usually valued in the elaboration of these textual genres. Conclusion: The analysis of reviews and interviews published in REF based on an analysis model elaborated from an interdisciplinary perspective between Information Science, Sociology of Science and Linguistics offered an analytical toolbox relevant to the study of scientific recognition.

The aim of this study was to know the scientific production through the bibliometric analysis of the pre- and postgraduate theses related to parasites of terrestrial fauna in the universities of Peru. The research was observational, retrospective, documentary and descriptive. Bibliographic searches were carried out in the virtual repositories of the universities of Peru between 2000 and 2021 and 403 theses related to parasitology of terrestrial fauna were reviewed in 32 universities of Peru. There was greater productivity at the undergraduate level (94.0%) and the university with the highest number of theses was the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) (n=112). All the investigations were basic or pure, and the year of greatest support for this type of thesis was 2018. The samples used preferably came from the provinces (84.4%) and in the specialty of Veterinary Medicine (n=346), with the animal model being most used those belonging to the Mammalia class (n=370), especially in production animals (n=253). Regarding the follow-up of theses, only 20.4% were published as scientific articles, mostly in the Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Peru (86.6%) in 2014. It is important that all undergraduate and postgraduate thesis work related to terrestrial fauna parasites culminate in a publication in a peer-reviewed and indexed scientific journal.

 

 

The knowledge of the tendencies of the drinking water treatments was changing through the previous decades and it is necessary to improve it for the benefit of the human beings. In this sense, the purpose of the study was to develop a scientometric study about the drinking water treatments in the period 2010-2020 for providing the state of art of the studies about the drinking water treatments in diverse knowledge areas and new orientations for future research. For this purpose, a search of the information was performed both in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, and all articles and reviews related to the field of water treatment or chemistry were included. The results showed that China, the USA and the Netherlands have the majority of the most cited publications and various related multidisciplinary topics, such as infrastructure, technologies and pollution. Therefore, the study allows concluding that there is a need for research on different technologies that contribute positively to obtaining quality water for consumption and for the use of routine activities, being the combination and integration of the different treatment processes a challenge for future studies.

 

 

The domain of knowledge organization (KO) represents a foundational area of information science. One way to better understand the intellectual structure of the KO domain is to apply bibliometric methods to key contributors to the literature. This study analyzes the most prolific contributing authors to the journal Knowledge Organization, the sources they cite and the citations they receive for the period 1993 to 2016. The analyses were conducted using visualization outcomes of citation, co-citation and author bibliographic coupling analysis to reveal theoretical points of reference among authors and the most prominent research themes that constitute this scientific community. Birger Hjorland was the most cited author, and was situated at or near the middle of each of the maps based on different citation relationships. The proximities between authors resulting from the different citation relationships demonstrate how authors situate themselves intellectually through the citations they give and how other authors situate them through the citations received. There is a consistent core of theoretical references as well among the most productive authors. We observed a close network of scholarly communication between the authors cited in this core, which indicates the actual role of the journal Knowledge Organization as a space for knowledge construction in the area of knowledge organization.
