The objective of this article was to carry out a bibliometric analysis, in the period 2015 – 2019, of the scientific production in Colombian psychology indexed in Scopus. The data from Latin American countries was collected through the Scimago Journal & Country Rank. The main variables analyzed were the total number of documents and citations and the percentage of international collaboration; data belonging to Colombian journals in the area of psychology indexed in Scopus also were taken into account. Colombia presents the highest percentage of growth in scientific production during the analyzed period; however, its total contribution of production in the region is much smaller than countries such as Brazil, Mexico and Chile. Likewise, it was evidenced that Colombia is the second Latin American country with the greatest number of psychology magazines in Scopus, with a total of ten magazines but is the fourth country in number of documents.

 

 

More than half of a century has passed since a paradigmatic change in the scientific endeavour took place: from science that advanced through the discursive interchange of geographically dispersed research findings and reflections, to highly interconnected and collaborative efforts that transcend borders (Wagner & Leydesdorff, 2005, Research Policy, 34:1608–1618). These new “invisible colleges” have been recognized since the end of the twentieth century as the network structures that emerge from co-authorships in scientific publications. These network structures that also inspire further production of knowledge, diffusion of concepts, methodologies and theories, circulation of scientific metaphors, and, above all, knowledge transfer, transformation, and appropriation. The expected impact of scientific collaboration on the consolidation of national capabilities for producing and absorbing scientific knowledge has resulted in the implementation of diverse instruments that aim at encouraging collaboration, particularly among peers from different countries. Psychology has also seen this increased international collaboration, and to evaluate its impact, we used bibliometric techniques on Latin American articles published between 2016 and 2020 in journals indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) under the subject categories related to psychology, to explore the characteristics and conditions of scientific collaboration in this corpus.

 

 

This study aims to carry out an analysis of the scientific collaboration networks that are organized from the development of historiographical research in psychology in Latin America. For this purpose, the empirical corpus is the academic production of researchers who are members of the Rede Iberoamericana de Pesquisadores em História da Psicología (RIPeHP) [Iberoamerican Network of Researchers in Psychology History]. Bibliometric tools are used to map the networks and establish indicators of scientific collaboration. Specifically, co-authorship analysis is used to identify the visible and hidden academic communities that are formed from the dynamics of historiographical research in the region. The creation of the Network was made possible in part by the initiative of researchers from the history working group of the Interamerican Society of Psychology (SIP). This year the SIP celebrates seventy years of history since its creation in 1951. In the case of this study, we present information relevant to historiographical research and discuss the role of the SIP in promoting and contributing to the strengthening of the history of Latin American psychology.

 

 

Objective. To examine marketing research production and its relationship with export processes in organizations between 1961 and 2020. Methodology. Several criteria for scientific production in the subject of study are proposed, and different bibliometric indicators were analyzed with the Bibliometrix (R statistical programming) and VOSviewer tools, yielding 289 documents through the Scopus bibliographic database. Results. The study identified elements such as the main and secondary nodes in the co-occurrence of keywords, the main sources of publication in the topics studied, the authors who contributed the most per country, and the articles with the greatest impact. Conclusions. Since 2000, there has been a significant increase in research on marketing related to export processes in organizations; a minor portion of the total production is focused on researching the areas studied in small and medium-sized enterprises.

 

 

This study aims to identify the evolution, trends and research agenda in city brand research. The methodology used was a science mapping bibliometric and network analysis using both, WoS and Scopus databases, to do a systematic literature review. The results of this analysis resulted in four possible perspectives in the research on city brand: Marketing of city brand, Residents and city brand, Governance of city brand and Economic and social impact of city brand. Like all bibliometric studies, this one has limitations due to its specific methodology, such as the consultation of databases that possibly excluded other studies that could offer a broader panorama, likewise, the analysis network methodology proposed perspectives that they can also be limited and exclusive. This study presents a novelty of the bibliometric analysis tool in the city brand research.

 

 

Several studies explored the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on marketing. However, bibliometric research that organizes this production is scarce. Thus, this study aims to provide a bibliometric view of marketing-related CSR research, identifying this field’s state-of-the-art literature. Two thousand and forty-two articles were collected through the Web of Science (WoS) platform. Data were analyzed using VOSviewer software to map the data graphically. The results show that: (a) the literature on CSR in the marketing area is growing; (b) five articles alone accounted for 9940 citations, and there are several prolific authors; (c) the prominent journals identified in this research published 42.16% of the total; (d) The “Journal of Business Ethics” is the leader in the number of publications, followed by “Sustainability,” which has shown strong growth in recent years, and; (e) The US is the leading country, according to the number of articles and citations. The keyword trending network analysis revealed that CSR is becoming a strategic marketing approach for companies. This study offers an insight into the state-of-the-art and trends identification in CSR and marketing.

 

 

The purpose of this bibliometric study is to investigate the state of the art in the subject of sustainable marketing in the scientific search engines Scopus and Web of Science. A literature search was carried out in the aforementioned search engines. The applied methodology was the bibliometric technique using different refinement criteria to obtain the information, the keywords “sustainability” and “marketing” were used as a search method in the titles, abstracts and keywords. Of the selected documents, it was also refined by areas of interest and the period 2016 to 2021 was considered, resulting in 1,310 documents in Scopus and 1,992 in Web Of Science, giving a total of 3302 the final sum of both amounts. The main findings, the sustainable marketing issue is a frontier issue in the sciences that is growing in the last 6 years, which has been applied in the business and academic world, various business opportunities were detected, in which the innovation, knowledge, emerging markets, business models, market orientation, consumer behavior, stakeholder, and social and corporate responsibility are the area’s most closely related to sustainable marketing. Limitations which study only includes the literature of the aforementioned search engines and the criteria established in the methodology.

 

 

It aims to map and analyze the scientific production of articles on educational assessment in teacher education, indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus and Scielo databases. The study was based on bibliometric indicators and established three axes of analysis, by: publishers; periodicals; and articles. 177 articles were mapped and published by 119 journals and 76 publishers. The results highlight that 51% of the articles’ production are concentrated in six commercial publishers. On the other hand, countries like Brazil, Spain, Canada and Singapore concentrate more than 50% of their production in university publishers. Among 119 journals, Bradford’s Law identified a core of 7 most productive journals that are specialized in the topic. The Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education journal was highlighted for being the most published, with 9 articles, and published the most cited study. Of the 177 articles, 20 received at least 18 citations and are considered to have the greatest impact. In addition, 64% of the 1248 citations received by all mapped articles accumulate. We point out the importance of a consolidated scientific publishing industry, which gives visibility to the cultural diversity of research and areas of knowledge, as well as the professionalization of editorial processes. At the same time, policies are still needed to fund publications and debates on the monopolization of production in a few publishers. We also point to the need for investigations on scientific production on assessment in teacher education in databases that bring together journals that are invisible in the mainstream of science, strengthening understudied regions.

 

 

There is a growing interest behalf of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to develop and apply knowledge management practices or strategies that are effective within these organizations, since these have the mission of being scenarios of knowledge generation and transfer, because they dynamize the different dimensions (social, economic and personal) that make up society. This research aims to determine the evolution and trends immersed in the literature on knowledge management strategies in HEIs, presenting the results of the development of a bibliometric study based on the analysis of productivity, the most representative authors, the evolution and the tendencies about the proposed theme. The designed methodology analyzes the selected documents, obtained by means of a search equation in the Scopus databases and calculates the bibliometric indicators of quantity and quality. Among the findings, they are emerging as new trends: strategies and tools for online training and the use of social networks for the management and dissemination of information in HEIs. Also, the literature shows that there is better performance in research productivity and efficiency of administrative processes, through the implementation of knowledge management models in these organizations.

 

 

The goal of this article is to present a systematic revision of the literature about game-based learning, applied to the teaching of mathematics in higher education. Technology in the classrooms has generated notable changes and new learning environments, among which computer games capture the attention of many users, generate compromise and better learning results. Through the methodology of record review from five bibliographic indexes and databases, of interest for the educational area, the corresponding bibliometric analysis, the quality evaluation and the generation of conclusions were done. The results show 19 records that approach different mediations and that are oriented to the cognitive, emotional, affective, soft skills, and behavioral development. These findings allow researchers interested in the topic and higher educational institutions to analyze the relevance and positive contributions of games (digital and non-digital) in the teaching-learning processes.
