Geographical science has the concept of landscape as one of the pillars for its academic analyses and studies. This research aimed to elaborate a systematic literature review on the concept of exception landscape, focusing on an integrated approach. The adoption of the methodological procedures of systematic literature review allowed us to observe, throughout the years, how the concept of exception landscape has been discussed in the area of geography, as well as how authors develop their research on the subject. Therefore, from the established context, the following research question was formulated: "What are the concepts adopted for the terminology of landscape of exception and how are they addressed in the literature?". To answer this question a systematic review of the literature was developed, starting with the consultation in the Google Scholar database. It is worth noting that this database indexes the main bases adopted for geography, such as Scielo and ScienceDirect, in an in-depth search having 2022 as the final year of analysis. The database query returned a total of 802 entries, after the refinement performed to identify the quality and adherence to the research a total of 76 articles were adopted, which discuss exception landscape. Within the review parameters were established to contain threats to the validity of the study, such as testing the search string against the base article and establishing quality criteria per study. Therefore, through this research it is possible to identify the trend of publication on the subject, the places of publication, the main authors on the subject, the main reference adopted when discussing exception landscapes and the location of the study area pointed out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
