Digital transformation towards sustainability in higher education: state-of-the-art and future research insights

Leer artículo

 

 

The technological revolution has contributed to environmental and social issues around the world. However, in the context of higher education institutions (HEIs) – key stakeholders for sustainable development -there is a theoretical gap regarding systematic reviews on the topic. In order to address this need, this study explores how digital transformation (DT) can contribute to sustainability in HEIs by identifying the general state of the art, the theoretical perspectives in the field, and future research insights. A multi-methods approach was adopted, which consisted of a quantitative bibliometric review and a qualitative content analysis. Consistent with this approach, the Scopus database was used for the bibliometric analysis of 672 publications, which was conducted with the support of VOSviewer software. Subsequently, a content analysis of 72 publications was carried out using the software ATLAS.ti and Zotero. The findings suggest three areas of current research: ensuring sustainability competencies through DT, smart and sustainable campus approaches, and theorisation of sustainability in higher education through DT. The theoretical perspectives of the field were divided and discussed into seven main clusters. Lastly, five research lines for further studies on DT towards sustainability were identified. This study has both theoretical and practical implications since it may be the first literature review on this subject, providing theoretical insights to the academic community, guiding sustainability and digital practices in HEIs -through the identification of tools, approaches, and strategies – and then supporting the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

A bibliometric analysis of sustainable development goals (SDGs): a review of progress, challenges, and opportunities

Leer artículo

 

 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global appeal to protect the environment, combat climate change, eradicate poverty, and ensure access to a high quality of life and prosperity for all. The next decade is crucial for determining the planet’s direction in ensuring that populations can adapt to climate change. This study aims to investigate the progress, challenges, opportunities, trends, and prospects of the SDGs through a bibliometric analysis from 2015 to 2022, providing insight into the evolution and maturity of scientific research in the field. The Web of Science core collection citation database was used for the bibliometric analysis, which was conducted using VOSviewer and RStudio. We analyzed 12,176 articles written in English to evaluate the present state of progress, as well as the challenges and opportunities surrounding the SDGs. This study utilized a variety of methods to identify research hotspots, including analysis of keywords, productive researchers, and journals. In addition, we conducted a comprehensive literature review by utilizing the Web of Science database. The results show that 31% of SDG-related research productivity originates from the USA, China, and the UK, with an average citation per article of 15.06. A total of 45,345 authors around the world have contributed to the field of SDGs, and collaboration among authors is also quite high. The core research topics include SDGs, climate change, Agenda 2030, the circular economy, poverty, global health, governance, food security, sub-Saharan Africa, the Millennium Development Goals, universal health coverage, indicators, gender, and inequality. The insights gained from this analysis will be valuable for young researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and public officials as they seek to identify patterns and high-quality articles related to SDGs. By advancing our understanding of the subject, this research has the potential to inform and guide future efforts to promote sustainable development. The findings indicate a concentration of research and development on SDGs in developed countries rather than in developing and underdeveloped countries.

Fifty Years of Revista DADOS: A Bibliometric Study of its Disciplinary and Thematic Profiles

Leer artículo

 

 

In this article we employ bibliometric techniques to examine the authorial, disciplinary, bibliographical, and thematic profiles of the Journal DADOS, from its foundation to the present (1966-2015). The database was amassed using two different methods, the periodical’s most recent output was scraped from the website SciELO in XML format while the older issues had to be scanned and its bibliography extracted by painstakingly copying and pasting each entry. We employed two techniques to analyze the material: Correspondence Analysis, to determine the patterns of co-citations and thus to chart the bibliographical map of the periodical, and Topic Modeling, to identify the main themes and approaches in the corpus. The results show that Dados privileged themes and debates that were most relevant in each period, in a constant attempt to bring together methodological rigor and public relevance.

Bibliometric and social network analysis of the Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Publica (2010-2019)

Leer artículo

 

 

The objective of this article was to carry out a bibliometric study of the RPMESP publications (2010-2019) in order to enable the improvement of the editorial management and decision-making processes of this and other journals with similar behavior. It is a descriptive study with bibliometric methodology that analyzes through productivity, collaboration and network indicators the main trends of the journal. The records were recovered from Scopus, which, after a standardization process, obtained 565 documents. 96% of the documents were published in Spanish and in collaboration (two or more authors), which reflects the greater interest of Latin American authors in publishing in collaboration in recent years. An incipient degree of international openness was observed when documents were received from countries such as the United States, Colombia, and Spain, a trend that needs to be continued in the search for a greater degree of internationality. Peru as a country and the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia as an institution had the greatest measures of centrality and power in network analysis. The strategic position of these nodes can be used by the RPMESP to establish strategies and strengthen collaborative relationships with all members of these networks. This step could improve the important role that the RPMESP plays in the scientific dissemination of medical studies in response to the great demands of today.

COVID-19 in Latin America: A Bibliometric Analysis of Scientific Publications in Health

Leer artículo

 

 

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a global health crisis. The scientific community has responded with a sizable level of research and publications, many of which are beginning to be identified and analyzed in systematic reviews of the literature and bibliometric studies. No readily identifiable, comparable study focused on Latin American scientific literature has been undertaken thus far. Therefore, this article analyzes such literature, focused on COVID-19, and one that has been published in the scientific journals of the region. A search with the keyword “COVID-19” in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) database resulted in the identification of 261 documents. Following PRISMA guidelines, the total number was reduced to 117 for the purpose of the bibliometric analysis (i.e., elimination of preprint duplicates). Such analysis resulted in the following findings: 69 publications were editorial or individual commentaries, and 48 were original articles. The male authors totaled 280, contrasted with 169 female authors. Two Brazilian journals led in the number of publications: Cadernos de SaOcle POblica and Clinics. Even though the Latin American scientific productivity regarding COVID-19 is not well represented in the different databases of the region, it is expected that these scientific publications will achieve increased visibility in the coming months. The article emphasizes the importance of systematic and bibliographic reviews of the scientific literature in Latin America in order to evaluate the public health achievements of the region.

Leer artículo

 

 

The research aimed to analyze the ALyC journals indexed in Scopus and WoS around environmental sciences in 2019, as well as their relationship with certain environmental indicators. It was carried out with a quantitative approach and an explanatory level, based on data obtained from the official Scopus and WoS portals. The bibliometric data were the countries that have indexed journals, the Number of Journals, the Impact Factor, Number of Published Documents, Number of Citations, Number of Self-Quotations, Ratio of Citations per Document, Ratio of External Citations per Document, Percentage of International Collaboration and Quartile of location of each journal. The environmental indicators were taken from the World Bank’s official website and were Energy Use, Protected Areas, PM2.5 Pollution, CO2 Emissions and Total Natural Resource Income. The statistical analyses were based on descriptive and multivariate techniques, such as cluster analysis, canonical correlations, and multivariate regression, all with a 95% confidence level. There were obtained 48 Scopus journals and 29 WoS, with Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico as the countries with greater presence of magazines in the region. In the environmental indicators, Brazil and Chile stand out. The bibliometric variables that are significantly related to environmental indicators were the Number of Journals and Self-citations. The environmental indicator that is positively related to bibliometric variables was Protected Areas and negatively related to PM2.5 pollutions.

Mapping global citizenship: A Bibliometric analysis of the field of education for sustainable development

Leer artículo

 

 

Since the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals, global citizenship education (GCE) is increasingly capturing the attention of researchers worldwide. In this context, the aim of this manuscript is to review the existing literature on GCE (up to 2021) in journals indexed in the Web of Science. Particularly, it seeks to: (1) document the volume and growth trajectory of knowledge production, (2) identify countries, journals, authors, and key publications (both of the sample analyzed and of the references cited), (3) perform a science mapping of the knowledge base on GCE, and (4) discover the thematic foci of empirical works. For this purpose, a bibliometric analysis of the selected articles (n = 350) and a content analysis of the sample’s empirical papers (n = 210) was carried out. The main findings evidence that: the number of articles on the subject has increased notably since 2016; there is a concentration of knowledge production in countries of the Global North, driven mainly by the United States; geographical proximity, and even common language, seem not to be the main factors influencing international scientific collaborations; and, GCE is linked in the empirical articles in the sample mainly to the concept of internationalization of education. The conclusion is that, although the production of knowledge on GCE has recently increased considerably, it continues to lag behind other areas of the educational field.
