Limits of international databases bibliometric indicators to evaluate the Brazilian Graduate Programs: Web of Science coverage on different scientific disciplines

Leer artículo

 

 

Considering the growing use of bibliometric and scientometric indicators in the evaluation of Brazilian Graduation Programs, this paper aims to identify Web of Science’s coverage concerning bibliographic output (scientific papers). It focuses on the major knowledge and evaluation areas set by the Coordination for Higher Education Staff Development, a Brazilian public organization for research funding, and seeks to highlight the limits and possibilities of the use of these indicators as devices for evaluating the scientific activity of the national graduation system. For this purpose, data surveys were held on the bibliographic production of 4,377 graduate programs currently registered on Sucupira Platform, and Web of Science Core Collection, between 2017 and 2018. Consolidated by empirical data and a theoretical approach, the results show that 46.56% of journals employed by Brazilian researchers affiliated to Brazilian graduate programs are currently indexed on this database, while 53.44% are not. The conclusion, therefore, is that there are variations on the indexation levels among the various Major Knowledge and Evaluation Areas. We also addressed the recommendation that processes of evaluation consider the results of scientific activities beyond just papers indexed on international bibliographic databases.

Leer artículo

 

 

Objective. The study aims to investigate, present and discuss the concepts, contexts and applications regarding the use of trademarks as indicators, revealing what can be understood from trademark applications and which conclusions can be inferred based on the publications found. Method. To meet the objectives, techniques of systematic review, bibliometric and systemic analyzes were employed. Using the Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer programs, evaluations of publications per year, periodic impact factor, citations, and network analyzes about co-authorship, citations, filiation, terms used and cocitation of references were made. Results. The biliometric analysis found a low number of publications, a trend of non-evolution in the annual number of publications and the presence of publications lacking editorial evaluation. While other documents have been published in journals with high impact factor and have a notable incidence of citations. The systemic analysis showed a wide range of possibilities for the use of brands as indicators, as indicators of new economic activities, to predict economic changes, to explore regional innovation systems, an indicator of international competitiveness, but especially for its use as an indicator of innovation. Which occurred more frequently. Conclusions. Faced with so many possibilities, it is important to note the importance the not yet explored adoption of trademarks for the most varied purposes. Particularly when related to innovation and services, in view of the phenomenon of the servitization of economies. As well as the need to advance and deepen the research and its potential impact, revealed by the existing publications.

Challenges and opportunities of the sugar cane vinasse. A bibliometric analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Sugarcane vinasse (SV) is the main by-product of bioethanol production. It is considered a potential pollutant due to its acidity index and the presence of organic components, suspended solids and heavy metals. High levels of SV production are undoubtedly a threat to the environment and the community in general. The aim of this study was to evaluate the main SV dispositions or treatments, in addition to their applications, by using bibliometric maps for metadata analysis. It was found that the studies related to SV were focused in (i) anaerobic digestion (AD), (ii) fertirrigation, (iii) coagulation/flocculation, (iv) algae, microalgae and fungi, and (v) biohydrogen production. Additionally, it was determined that the most effective treatment for SV was AD, reaching 90% chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency and energy recovery between 85 and 95% as biogas. Finally, the challenges and opportunities facing Latin America with the growing production of SV were addressed, as well as a detailed review of its treatment and/or disposal, including optimal conditions for the production of value-added products.

Research Progress and Trends on Utilization of Lignocellulosic Residues as Supports for Enzyme Immobilization via Advanced Bibliometric Analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Lignocellulosic biomasses are used in several applications, such as energy production, materials, and biofuels. These applications result in increased consumption and waste generation of these materials. However, alternative uses are being developed to solve the problem of waste generated in the industry. Thus, research is carried out to ensure the use of these biomasses as enzymatic support. These surveys can be accompanied using the advanced bibliometric analysis tool that can help determine the biomasses used and other perspectives on the subject. With this, the present work aims to carry out an advanced bibliometric analysis approaching the main studies related to the use of lignocellulosic biomass as an enzymatic support. This study will be carried out by highlighting the main countries/regions that carry out productions, research areas that involve the theme, and future trends in these areas. It was observed that there is a cooperation between China, USA, and India, where China holds 28.07% of publications in this area, being the country with the greatest impact in the area. Finally, it is possible to define that the use of these new supports is a trend in the field of biotechnology.

Use of the process-based models in forest research: a bibliometric review

Leer artículo

 

 

Background: Process-based modeling is made to simulate the interactions of the soil-plant-atmosphere system providing information and estimates for forest management and services. Through bibliometric evaluation we identify the quantitative state of the art on the use of Process-Based Models (PBMs) applied in forestry studies, contextualizing research fronts, and analyzing the main topics and emerging themes. Data from the Web of Science and Scopus were used for the bibliometric survey of 533 scientific records. Results: We verified that (i) the number of publications related to the PBMs was boosted in the year 2000, and is growing; (ii) Forest Ecology and Management (74 publications) is the journal that most publishes on the subject; (iii) Annikki Makela is the most productive researcher (20 publications) and most cited (h-index: 12); (iv) The USA (131 records) is the country with the highest number of research; (v) there are eight collaborative networks between the authors, three workings together, and five producing in isolation; (vi) the keywords are grouped into five clusters: (a) the effect of climate change on forests; (b) carbon studies; (c) physiology of trees; (d) silvicultural practices and; (e) analysis of model uncertainties. The separation of themes showed that the new search hotspots are the PBMs using of remote detection tools. Conclusion: The results presented can be a fundamental theoretical tool for understanding the trends and development perspectives of this research line in future studies.

A bibliometric analysis and literature review on emotional skills

Leer artículo

 

 

The content, management, and implementation of social skills have been developed since the end of the 20th century as a model of capabilities. Thus, as human beings develop and train their basic cognitive and perceptual-motor functions, they increase their ability to solve and cope with difficulties. This article aims to present a bibliometric and systematic review of social skills, using query sources in databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus between the years 2000 and 2022, with platforms such as Bibliometrix and Gephi. This search yielded a total of 233 records in WoS and 250 records in Scopus that were merged and, after eliminating 143 duplicate data, were consolidated into 340 records that enclose the academic production of 20 years. Through scientific mapping, the main authors, journals, and countries in this field were determined; similarly, the most relevant studies were classified into three categories, namely, classic, structural, and perspectives, which were represented by means of the metaphor of the tree of science. In addition, a program for further studies was planned, such as in-depth qualitative research measuring observationally and directly taking into account emotional expressiveness, emotional understanding, emotion regulation, and behavior, and the impact of social skills training on social problem-solving. Finally, another important aspect to mention is that this research work is useful for the scientific academic community in many areas of knowledge such as psychology, education, and managers of educational institutions.
