Estudo bibliométrico das produções cientícas sobre economia ecológica, multifuncionalidade da agricultura e pesca artesanal

Abstract

The bibliometric method corroborates to identify the productions linked to the relevant periodicals of interest. In addition to containing a quantitative result without itself, it presents the panorama of production in a spatial and temporal way, it also gives the researcher the opportunity to select his sample for review-type studies, in addition to guiding the construction of the theoretical-concepts bases in several areas of knowledge. The article's main objective is to carry out a survey of scientific production on the categories: Artisanal fishing; Multifunctionality of family farming and Ecological Economics, in addition to identifying possible correlations between categories and characterizing the panorama of existing production. The graphs of the number of publications per year, areas of concentration of scientific production were the outputs considered in this research. In addition, the variables by category were considered: number of articles published, year of first publication, most cited article and its referring year, country of greatest production, title of the most cited work and number of citations. The platform used by the survey of bibliometric results was Scopus due to its interdisciplinary characteristics and diffusion in studies of this nature. The categories were inserted and searched separately and written in English. The study mapped the evolution of scientific production in the categories Ecological Economy, Multifunctionality of family farming and artisanal fishing. It was generally observed that there is a greater incidence of scientific production from the 2000s, despite the occurrence of some fluctuation. The three categories have in common scientific production in the areas of Environment and Social Sciences.
