Bibliometric studies are used in the evaluation of scientific activity. They may gather data from databases such as Web of Science and Scopus, and, in Brazil, the Lattes Platform. This case study aimed to help describe the performance of science, technology and innovation institutions through bibliometric procedures, and, specifically, to outline the performance of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Sao Paulo (IFSP) using data about the areas of activity of its teachers-researchers available on the Lattes Plataform. The analyzed sample comprised 1997 Lattes curricula vitae of -teachers-researchers active in the period from 2010 to 2018. he institute’s academic output was found to be multidisciplinary, and some activity between campuses was found to be clustered. The results of this study could contribute to the bibliometric study of science, technology and innovation institutions by profiling one such institution, through analysis of the research interests of its researchers, and pointing areas in which its researchers would be most likely to collaborate.

 

 

The scientific production and quality of scientific journals are fundamental for the countries and regions to which they belong, hence the impact of the journals is related to the development policies of the countries and therefore to socioeconomic indicators. Although studies on scientific journals have been carried out at a Latin American level, few of them refer to the engineering area. Therefore, the objective of the research was to study bibliometric variables of engineering journals indexed in Redalyc between 2015 and 2020 and their relation with socioeconomic indicators of the countries. The information from the journals and their bibliometric variables was extracted from the official Redalyc portal and the socioeconomic indicators from the World Bank’s development indicators portal. The statistical treatment of the information was carried out through cluster analysis, classification-regression trees, and canonical correlation. The country with the largest number of scientific engineering journals indexed in Redalyc is Colombia with 12, however, in relative terms, Cuba is the country with the highest percentage of engineering journals with respect to its total number of indexed journals with 20%. Brazilian journals have the best bibliometric variables and it is also the country with the best socioeconomic indicators. The indicators that showed a greater relation with bibliometric variables were Public Expenditure on R&D and the number of Researchers in R&D, and in a lesser proportion, Expenditure on Education and GDP.

Purpose: Given its large number of publications, the subject “strategy” stands out as an important field of scientific literature with multidisciplinary characteristics, involving the most varied research areas. The aim of this paper is to analyse the state of the art on business strategy, which have enabled the identification of the characteristics of the most influential articles and authors. Methodology/Approach: This article is a literature review based on bibliometric parameters, which the main novelty has been the identification of specific characteristics of the main publications and researchers on business strategy during the peak production period of 1998-2017. Findings: The main contribution of this article is to guide researchers interested in developing studies related to business strategy, highlighting the subject’s chronological evolution and the correlations analyses among publications. Research Limitation/Implication: The searches and selection of bibliometric parameters have been limited to two of the most relevant databases (Scopus and Web of Science). Another restriction was that only articles and reviews containing the term “business strategy” in their respective titles were considered. Originality/Value of paper: Although bibliometric studies have already been published in managerial and strategic areas and subareas, the scientific literature still lacks articles with the same level of details and analysis performed in this paper, which portrays the main novelty of this research.

 

 

The evaluation criteria of postgraduate programs can be used as contributions to management insofar as they allow the development of bibliometric indicators for the monitoring, especially of scientific production. This is due in large part to the higher valuation of this item at the time of valuation. In this context, this research aims to investigate the dynamics of intellectual production, particularly scientific articles in periodicals, of the Post-Graduation Programs of the Federal University of Sao Carlos, through the elaboration of bibliometric indicators and network analysis in order to observe the relationship between the publication of articles in Qualis strata and the program notes. Quantitative approach, applied nature and exploratory character, data extraction from the Lattes Platform was done using the SyncLattes tool from a list of 1,215 teachers accredited in the permanent category in the period 2010-2017, which resulted in 16,275 bibliographic records referring to scientific articles in periodicals. The data were imported into the VantagePoint software and treated with thesauri who associated the IDLattes of the teachers with the accreditation period in the programs and thesauri associating the ISSN of the periodicals with the Qualis Periodic strata. The bibliometric indicators were elaborated in the software Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer and demonstrated the possibility of monitoring the production of articles of the programs with a view to the management.

 

 

The authors analyze the relations between two subareas of Collective Health – Planning and Evaluation – through a bibliometric study of articles, theses, and dissertations published from 1980 to 2016. The overall production on Evaluation exceeds that of Planning, particularly since the 2000s. The capacity to influence health sector administration appears to drive the dispute between the two subareas. Both have theoretical and methodological resources to overcome their reductions under the instrumental logic of so-called managerialism, as well as to consolidate themselves as devices for reflection and change.

 

 

Digital transformation (DT) arises in debates about trends in various industries, mainly in value creation through the innovation of products and services and how they are negotiated. DT poses new challenges to organizations, which this research aims to identify by answering: What is the structure of the literature on DT, and what themes have gained prominence in the last five years? This research conducted a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis and content analysis. The bibliometric analysis highlighted the following discussions: strategic renewal amid DT; implementation of technologies in Industry 4.0; digitization to enable servitization; DT as an engine of innovation in business models; digital innovation management; and DT to change the consumer experience. The analyses point out avenues for further research and raise important questions for decision-makers in companies that want to reap the benefits of DT.

 

 

This study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of business failure research, recognise the main existing research topics and establish future research challenges. The results, based on a sample of 588 articles, show that the number of published papers and citations has grown steadily, especially in the last 14 years. The most productive and relevant journals, countries, institutions and authors are presented using bibliometric performance indicators. In addition, through the graphical mapping of strategic diagrams, this study identifies the most significant research trends and proposes several directions for future research. The results of this research may be helpful for beginner researchers and experts in business failure, as they contribute to bringing clarity to this line of investigation. These results reveal all the aspects involved in business failure research, analysing its temporal and methodological characterisation, and the most prolific authors who have participated in its study (see, i.e., H. Li), leading journals (see, i.e., Expert Systems with Applications) or academic institutions that have headed the scientific analysis of this business phenomenon. Likewise, it has been possible to identify three main areas in which the research on business failure has been focused: business, management and accounting; economics, econometrics and finance; and social sciences. In addition, a complete, synthesised and organised summary of the various definitions, perspectives and research trends are presented.

 

 

The purpose of this study is to map the recent scientific literature on resilience and analyses the most substantial contributions to the advancement of studies in the business and management research field. A bibliometric analysis from the Web of Science / Social Sciences Citation Index database – covering the period 2014 until May 2021 – was carried out. Bibliometric techniques and tools were applied, such as co-citation counts and historiography generated by HistCiteTM, and bibliographic coupling and cartography from VOSviewer (visualization of similarities). As result, 637 articles were identified, which were published in 114 journals and written by 1607 authors affiliated to 821 institutions from 63 countries. This study provides new information not previously reviewed, for example, most influential journals and articles in recent years. The analysis allowed elaborating a map that provides clues for future studies on resilience in the business and management research field.

 

 

Simple Summary In the dairy farming system that uses compost barns, animals remain in a large area covered with organic material and are free to move and express their behaviors in a more natural way. The compost barn system has become popular in recent years because it provides greater well-being and quality of life, favoring animal productivity and longevity. The aim of this paper is to develop a bibliometric analysis to evaluate scientific studies about compost barn systems. A total of 108 databases, considering articles and literature reviews obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science databases were considered for this analysis. After standardizing the data, the resulting spreadsheet was analyzed with VOSviewer software. The keywords most used by the authors were “compost-bedded pack barn”, “dairy cow”, and “dairy cattle”. The most relevant countries, journals, institutions, researchers, and co-citation networks to compost barn research were highlighted. The analysis confirmed a significant interest in the spatial variation in the sheds and their relationship with milk quality, heat stress, and animal welfare. This paper provides a great contribution related to the scientific evolution and the research and publishing tendencies of studies on the compost barn animal housing system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the main scientific studies addressing the topic of compost barns in recent years, highlighting the main journals, authors, countries, organizations, and keywords associated with the publications and trends in this type of research through a bibliometric analysis. For this analysis, publications (articles and literature reviews) addressing compost barns were obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. A total of 108 studies published between 2007 and April 2022 were included. A greater number of publications was observed starting in 2017, with 2021 having the largest number of publications. The Journal of Dairy Science was the most highly cited journal. Marcia I. Endres was the author with the greatest academic impact. The most influential country was the United States, followed by Brazil. Among the organizations that have published studies on compost barns, the Federal University of Lavras, and the University of Florence had the largest numbers of publications. In conclusion, this bibliometric analysis allowed us to evaluate the scientific evolution, research, and publishing tendencies of studies on the compost barn animal housing system, and the results make it possible to deduce current trends in scientific research and publications.
