Proceeding from the idea that it is possible to correlate economic with social development, this research focus on cooperatives and their management systems. Based on studies and publications on cooperative management practices in several countries, this study seeks to acquire sufficient knowledge about cooperatives to understand them as efficient and proactive organizations. They seek an alignment between economic and social development of their members sharing a common goal of prosperity. This study pursues the following question: “Does the competence of the operational management of cooperatives make it possible for cooperative members to overcome the obstacles that prevent their social and economic development?” To answer this question, it was proposed to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the cooperative systems in several countries between 1995 and 2020, with the focus on the economic and social development of their members. As for the methodology employed in this study, a collection of publications on cooperatives in the world and a systematic review was organized. As a result, the characteristics of cooperatives could be identified, allowing an overview of the organizations’ qualifications as promoters of social and economic development.

 

 

Since the end of the 20th century, the social economy and the solidarity economy have represented an alternative economic model in constant evolution, aimed at generating profits with social impact criteria, addressing inequality, the democratization of resources, and the primacy of people over the capital. Due to the growing interest and relevance of the topic, this study aims to contribute to the knowledge of this area, based on an analysis and review of the literature registered in the WoS and Scopus databases between 2000 and 2020, using bibliometric methods and tools. The main approaches, schools, authors, journals, countries, and institutions in this field were identified from a scientific mapping. The most relevant documents were classified into three categories, classical, structural, and perspectives, represented through the metaphor of the tree of science. The main research fronts in the area, social entrepreneurship, community development and sustainability, and social economy in emerging countries, were determined. Finally, an agenda for future studies.

 

 

The purpose of this work is to perform a systematic review and a bibliometric analysis of publications on regional development and sustainability, two increasingly important concepts in economic, environmental, social, and academic forums in all world countries. The study was carried out under the concept of scientific mapping, using bibliometrics to observe the interrelations between disciplines, fields, professions, or documents. The study was done in two stages: a bibliometric analysis and a network analysis. First, a WoS search was performed, and bibliometric indicators were reviewed. In the second step, the network was constructed through the analysis of co-citations, which were compared with the similarity tree. These documents are divided into three categories: the root of the source document (called hegemonic or classic); the backbone of the document involved in the development of the current knowledge of the subject called trunk or structural; the last one is the collection of the latest developments called leaves or perspectives of the document work. Finally, three perspectives identified in the following research fields are presented: planning and territorial development, evaluation and ecosystems, and China and urban development.

 

 

The multidisciplinary conjugation of international marketing as a business philosophy and the functions of political economy constitutes a wide-ranging topic. The objective of this research is to design a theoretical model of international marketing from the functions of political economy for foreign trade. Based on the positivist paradigm operationalized in a hypothetical-deductive research system that suggests the methodology of modeling international marketing. In addition, it incorporates methods such as the dialecticalmaterialist in terms of its historicity, functionality, systemic character between reality and theoretical thought. The design is obtained from a quantitative research process through bibliometrics, combining comparative analysis tools, at a theoretical and then practical level of the main research categories: International Marketing, Political Economy and Foreign Trade. In the results, through co-occurrence, the recurring basic concepts in previous applied research were identified, with which the model was formed. It was possible for the concepts converted into research variables to feed the model with subhypotheses attached to the central hypotheses. In conclusion, the operationalization of the model shows that the functions of political economy have a positive impact on international marketing, each of them moderated by national contexts.

 

 

The flipped classroom as an educational model is perfectly aligned with the current demands of higher education. Therefore, the objectives of this article were to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of the flipped classroom in higher education (2012-2020) and to propose a framework for its implementation in face-to-face, blended or online learning modalities. The records were recovered from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus, from which, after a five-phase methodological process, a consolidated dataset of 782 documents was obtained. The results showed the importance of the subject matter as scientific production reflected a continuous growth during the period of study. For their part, the most productive authors come from various institutions worldwide with an H index of over 50. The collaboration indicators show the growth trend of these indexes over the years, which reflects the capacity to generate national and international impact in the documents published in collaboration. The keywords co-occurrence analysis showed that the flipped classroom as a technological and innovative approach is complemented by active learning, blended learning, e-learning, ICT, teaching method, among others. Finally, a framework with five components was proposed as a basic guide for the implementation of the flipped classroom in higher education.

 

 

The irruption of digital technologies in social contexts and their integration in educa-tion has led to new learning environments where the communication, interaction and access to knowledge are an essential part of the educational process. This paper shows a literature review and mapping of the most important technological tools used in the contexts where heritage teaching has been conducted in the last decade. For this aim developed a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications in high impact journals through selective searches in the specialized databases Scopus and Science Direct. The findings show trends in the educational practice approach regarding herit-age, integrating emerging technologies such as augmented reality, 3D modelling, arti-ficial intelligence, QR coding and virtual reality that offer situated and immersive learning experiences on mobile apps and web-based platforms. From the studies analyzed in different contexts, it is concluded that the integration of digital technolo-gies in the teaching and heritage appropriation is a field that in recent years shows a clear increase, so that it is necessary to consider the potential of these tools in it’s diffusion, teaching and preservation to strengthen existing work lines and open up possibilities to future studies.

 

 

The objective of this article is to present three groups of analysis in urban mobility studies, their relationship with the use of ICT and how the findings promote urban sustainability. 40 documents in the Scopus database were systematically reviewed. The research methodology used was mixed, where methods of qualitative analysis and bibliometric analysis were combined with the Vantage Point software. The results made it possible to establish which projects are at the forefront of the study of urban mobility. This article will contribute to future research and could be useful for discussions on public policy on urban mobility.

 

 

The objective of this research was to review the manuscripts registered in the Scopus database related to business ecosystems during the period 2018–2022. A total of 96 documents were selected and examined under a bibliometric and bibliographic approach. The results showed an annual growth rate of 13.21%. The United Kingdom (n = 22) led the countries with the most documents, computer science (n = 40) is the subject area with the most publications, and articles (n = 61) and conference papers (n = 23) dominated the types of documents. The nine most studied topics were innovation ecosystems, collaborative ecosystems, sustainable business ecosystems, digital business ecosystems, ecosystems of the Internet of Things, circular ecosystems in companies, regulatory frameworks for digital business ecosystems, resilience of business ecosystems, and ecosystems in smart cities. Six unexplored themes were extracted for future research: ICT industries, smart contracts, electric vehicles, serious games, energy, and blockchain. It should be noted that this study is one of the most up to date, and 85.5% of the 96 publications were original studies, i.e., valuable information that supports the results.

 

 

This research seeks to identify teaching-learning mechanisms that allow innovation and educational evolution for Youth and Adult Basic Education and thus achieve social inclusion in a rural development environment that has technological limitations and internet access in rural areas. The work seeks to identify a strategic process of learning objects to apply an inverted classroom in no presential modality. The objective is to respond to the low level of knowledge in the area of Language and Literature to mitigate the lack of understanding of the andragogical resources of the teachers in virtual classes. A methodological strategy is proposed that is related to the scientific field through bibliometric and quantitative analysis based on scientific information; in a second moment, the environment is evaluated via satisfaction surveys conducted with students and teachers of the third baccalaureate of the rural areas in the no presential modality of the Juan Jiménez Educational Unit, Abdón Calderón extension, province of Sucumbíos, Ecuador. A total of 66.67% of teachers between 41 and 45 agree with implementing ICT as a strategy for better learning in the education of young people and adults despite the scarce access to the internet in rural areas.

 

 

Nowadays, several institutions and universities have employed Flipped and Blended Learning models in the educational context. Consequently, these models advance correctly in the classrooms; students become more able to build their knowledge and develop their skills with technological innovation that could be compared with studies based on technological achievements and accessible data Tics. Therefore, this article proposes educational innovation in the evaluation processes within the FL and BL learning models to ensure active and interactive education. In this work, a bibliometric analysis of 2000 scientific articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases has been carried out, thus making it possible to identify countries and universities with constant and relevant use of these learning models, as well as a comparison with these databases of articles, citations and their global impact. On the other hand, a survey was conducted with 41 teachers of different subjects and 385 students from elementary school to high school using the Likert scale. The questions were represented in perception values with their respective analysis of results and evaluations about these learning models, technological resources, flexible curriculum, learning before class, autonomous learning, and future professional competencies, which will help us know the existing motivation between them.
