COVID-19 in Business, Management, and Economics: Research Perspectives and Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

This document aims to analyze co-citations with computational tools to identify the research perspectives related to COVID-19 in the areas of business, management, and economy. In addition, a bibliometric analysis is carried out that includes annual productivity, the most relevant authors, countries and institutions, the most cited documents, collaboration networks, and coauthorship. Information obtained from the Web of Science database found 4,347 documents published between the years 2020 and 2021 that were scientifically mapped in this field. An analysis of the research perspectives was carried out. The perspectives were determined through an analysis of co-citations from the application of a clustering algorithm using Gephi. In addition, tools such as Bibliometrix and VOSviewer were used for the development of bibliometric analysis. Through open-access tools, five perspectives related to the impact of COVID-19 on business, management, and economics were found. The first analyzes the effects on financial markets; the second presents the effects on tourism and consumer behavior; the third indicates the socioeconomic effects of applying policies; the fourth presents the environmental and public health impacts; and the fifth shows the impacts on gender.

University social responsibility: bibliometric analysis and research trends

“…The tool allows evaluating bibliometric indicators such as the annual scientific production, authors, countries, and most relevant institutions. The choice responds to the fact that it is a software compatible with multiple databases, it has a variety of easy-to-use bibliometric functionalities, it allows the creation of research trends in a simple way and has been used in multiple research (Aria and Cuccurullo, 2017;Aristiz abal et al, 2021;Barrera Rodr ıguez et al, 2023;Bond et al, 2019;Demiroz and Haase, 2019;Duque and Cervantes-Cervantes, 2019;Duque-Hurtado et al, 2020;Torres et al, 2022).…”

Actor engagement: origin, evolution and trends

“…The last component is the sheets that include the most recent documents with a high outdegree and show current research perspectives. This methodology has been used in recent years by multiple investigations (Aristizábal-Torres et al , 2022; Buitrago et al , 2020; Kumar et al , 2022; Landinez et al , 2019; Lara-Rodríguez et al , 2019).…”

Conflicto armado y educación: una revisión usando Tree of Science

“…Este enfoque ha sido ampliamente utilizado en diversas disciplinas académicas, incluyendo educación, mercadeo, administración, ciencias naturales, salud y emprendimiento. La utilidad y versatilidad de ToS han sido respaldadas por investigaciones previas (Valencia-Hernandez et al, 2020;Muñoz et al, 2022;Barrera Rodríguez et al, 2022;López-Rubio et al, 2021;Aristizábal Torres et al, 2022;Durán-Aranguren et al, 2021;Robledo et al, 2021).…”
