Riparian zones (RZs) are transitional environments at the interface between land and freshwater ecosystems, which are important in terms of socioecological services. In this work, we report a bibliometric-based analysis to unveil the knowledge structure and actors of scientific production on riparian zones for the first 20 years of the 21(st) century. We performed a literature search, querying for riparian zones publications for the period 2001-2020. The selected 1171 bibliographic records were analyzed by extracting several bibliometric indices of reporting tendencies, location, collaboration dynamics, and top topics. Results show that RZs publications increased considerably from 2001 to 2020, and top journals publishing on the subject are from the water, environmental management, and ecology areas. The US, China, Brazil, and Canada were the most productive countries, while the institutions with higher productivity were the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Oregon University. In terms of impact, the US, Canada, and Australia led in citation number, while the country collaboration network showed that the strongest links occur between China and the US. Our results also show that few studies were produced in low-middle income countries, which suggests a need to funnel international funding to study riparian environments in these geographical contexts. According to analysis of frequency, top topics are related to water quality and focused on lotic environments. We here present the main knowledge structure of RZs studies globally for the first 20 years of the XXI century.

 

 

With the advancement of electric mobility, critical materials that are used in the batteries and electronic equipment of electric vehicles tend to become scarce. This work aims to analyse the state-of-art of the electric vehicle supply chain through bibliometric and systematic reviews, using quantitative and qualitative indicators, to find critical points that represent risks to the supply chain and that should be focused on and to identify trends for further studies. The bibliometric review was carried out with the support of the Bibliometrix software. The systematic review was performed using the PRISMA method. The bibliometric analysis showed the importance of the costs associated with electric vehicles, as well as trends in studies related to sustainability and transparency in the supply chain. Although risk management in the supply chain appears to be relatively little studied when considering the authors’ keyword analysis, the systematic review showed that this process was the most studied topic. Even so, raw materials supply appeared as the topic most focused on, followed by an environmental impact assessment and cost analysis. There were also studies aiming to achieve competitiveness and analyse ecologically correct practices. The battery was the most studied component, but other components must be analysed in search of greater competitiveness in relation to conventional vehicles.

In this study, we explored the production of qualitative nursing research in program repositories evaluated by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel in Brazil, with concepts six and seven. We utilized a bibliometric study in which we considered Brazilian theses and dissertations with qualitative methodology published in 2018 and 2019 with qualitative methodology. In the 100 papers, 79 theses, and 13 dissertations, we identified that the types of studies that stood out were phenomenology, the wording of the objectives predominantly used the verbs “understand,” and “analyze,” and the instruments and techniques used were semi-structured interviews which present the analysis technique of the author Bardin, highlighting publications on public health. We conclude that our study evidences the importance of using a qualitative approach in nursing and emphasizes the need to pay attention to the theoretical framework, as well as analysis aspects adopted in different types of qualitative studies.

In order to gain a comprehensive view of electric vehicles (EVs) technologies and understand the emphasis of current research, this study evaluated the most relevant themes related to EVs through a bibliometric analysis using the keyword “electric vehicle” as the input. The Web of Science(TM) (WoS) database was used because it is considered ideal for bibliometric analysis. The VOSviewer software was adopted as a bibliometric analysis tool to visualize the networks of authors, countries, journals and keywords. The analysis carried out on 9 November 2021 retrieved a total of 29,304 documents in the period 2000 to 2021. The results show that in the last nine years the number of publications about EVs has grown significantly. The China is the leading nation in the field of EV research, contributing the largest number of publications in the world, with the main authors and research institutions involved. The journal Energies stands out as the main publishing periodical. Keyword analysis showed that studies on EVs in the last two decades have focused on themes related to energy management and storage, infrastructure and charging systems and environmental issues. The bibliometric analysis presented provides relevant information on the main themes studied about EVs and technological advances in development.

The last decades adaptivity has become an increasingly popular feature within the technological arena and academic publications related to this subject appear more frequently. This article reviews the research on adaptivity in both, technological and broader academic arena, by conducting a bibliometric review of the available academic literature related to the subject. By using bibliometric indexes the results found here can be replicated, complemented and extended in a systematic way, incrementing its utility. The study examines the growth pattern of research in adaptivity, and identifies its top areas; types of publications; and contributing countries and organizations. The review also revealed the value for some of the parameters needed to develop more specialized analysis in adaptivity, such as: scope, timespan, search space and databases. Finally, we propose several analysis to be performed in future works to complement the previous results. This work is, to our knowledge, the first bibliometric review conducted for the subject matter of adaptive behavior.

 

 

This paper describes the results of a research in the scientific literature related to the Management of Urban Solid Waste, published in the annals of four relevant Brazilian conferences in the area of Business Administration: ANPAD Meeting (ENANPAD), International Meeting on Management and Environment (ENGEMA), Seminars in Administration (SE-MEAD) and Symposium on Administration, Logistics and International Operations (SIMPOI). The data collection considered the period from 2011 to 2016, which reflects the conduct adjustment to meet the requirements of Law No. 12.305 / 2010, as proposed by the National Solid Waste Policy. The research was carried out through an empirical-analytical study, with application of bibliometric techniques that identified, in the annals of the events, 447 articles referring to Environmental Management and solid waste produced in the municipalities. Of these, 331 (73.5%) referred specifically to solid waste management and were used as a documentary sample for this article. As a result of the analysis of the present study, 45 elements were identified in the management of solid urban waste. These elements were classified into four categories of analysis: Waste Collector Cooperatives, Reverse Logic, National Solid Waste and Waste Policy. Among the conclusions we reached with the content analyzes, we can list: a gradual increase in the discussion on Urban Solid Waste Management in Brazil, since the Law was edited and implemented, which indicates a tendency of the theme to become more explored in the scope national level of academic production, considering its importance in the international environmental debate; observation of ENGEMA as an event that concentrates the highest percentage of Urban Solid Waste Management, reaching 65.86% of the articles published in the theme; in terms of author’s affiliation, there is a predominance of researchers from federal universities located in the South and Northeast regions of Brazil; through the articles, the existence of successful recycling practices, reverse logistics and selective collection.
