“…A search in SSCI shows three papers that deal directly with bibliometric methods applied to the field of public procurement. These are studies on circular economy business [40], green public procurement [41], and sustainable public procurement policies for the promotion of scientific innovation [13]. The existence of only three bibliometric analyses is consistent with the fact that this research area is relatively young (under development).…”

Public procurement has recently taken into account social and sustainable factors, increasing academic literature in this field. The aim of this paper is to map the intellectual structure of social and sustainable public procurement research by means of delimiting the scientific domain’s research traditions, its disciplinary composition, and influential research topics. Given that there is a literature gap in bibliometric studies applied to this field, we conducted a co-citation analysis to identify the intellectual structure of this area of knowledge. Co-citation analyses identify networks of interconnections and, consequently, detect the most (and the least) active research areas, being a good complement to traditional literature reviews. This article contributes to science development because it is the first paper to carry out a bibliometric analysis in the field of social and sustainable public procurement, as well as the first one to conduct a co-citation analysis among public procurement research. Consequently, it is also the first article to detect which papers have become burst in this research field. The results show twelve different clusters of publications that were cited by researchers who wrote papers on social and sustainable public procurement. In other words, the sources of knowledge that scholars used as references are analysed, identifying papers that can be considered turning points, as well as those that became specially cited over a discrete period of time. Six different research trends were identified over the last decade in regard to social and sustainable public procurement research. The conclusions highlight the relevance of the findings, especially because they provide guidance to researchers when conducting literature reviews, given that the most significant journals and papers are identified.

“…Considering that the ITI mechanism targets many countries and areas in the EU and not just a certain country or area, a collaboration in the field of research between specialists, researchers, professors from academic institutions or from the private environment should be developed (Pătărlăgeanu et al, 2020). The collaboration between the socio-professional categories aforementioned is essential for highlighting the implementation of this mechanism from multiple perspectives, especially since there are specific peculiarities regarding its application depending on the country or area.…”

Integrated territorial investments represent the latest instrument of the cohesion policy introduced to solve the local problems, especially in urban and functional urban areas. The main objective of this article is to explore the content of research in the field of integrated territorial investments. In this regard, a review of the literature was carried out in order to collect, review, and synthesize 49 papers related to this concept published during 2014-2022. The publications were identified by using the selected keywords in the title or in the abstract, and the search was done in several databases (ISI Web of Science/Clarivate Analytics, Scopus, Sage, Springer, ScienceDirect, Emerald, JSTOR, ProQuest) set for the field of administrative sciences in accordance with the Romanian legislation in force. The overview of the literature revealed integrated territorial investments to be a promising new area of research, especially since the implementation of the mechanism continues in the programming period 2021-2027.

“…Bibliometric indicators are metrics that provide information on the performance of scientific activity in many of its expressions. The development of bibliometric analysis as a key scientific endeavour has increased rapidly in recent years, and bibliometrics has been widely used in a variety of study areas: agriculture [137][138][139], business [140,141], computer science [142], economics [143,144], geography [145], mathematics [146], tourism [147], and many others.…”

Exploring the Research Regarding Frugal Innovation and Business Sustainability through Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nowadays, innovation is valued as being of utmost significance when evaluating measures of sustainable development and performance constructs. The current research develops investigations into the field of frugal innovation (FI) and how this process can contribute to business sustainability. This study performs a comprehensive evaluation of scientific production through the quantitative method of bibliometric analysis to facilitate our understanding of the current structure of studies and to highlight future research paths on FI and business sustainability. The paper maps the literature by narrowing its research topics and identifying certain patterns. Using the Web of Science database (WoS) on a sample of 2072 documents, descriptive and performance analyses were conducted. The VOSviewer software was used to perform the science mapping of the conceptual, intellectual, and social structure that provides scholars with a quantified and graphic representation of the FI and business sustainability field. The trend towards the analysis of business sustainability and consumer behaviour in the context of FI is highlighted. Annual scientific production and citation analysis reveal significant growth in international interest and scientific production, indicating an increasing line of inquiry for this topic at the start of the twenty-first century. The prominent scholars in the field are of European origin, while the highly active countries in the subject of FI and business sustainability are the USA, Germany, England, the Netherlands, and India, with major collaborations across the globe. This paper covers the limits identified by previous scholars by detailing the knowledge base and by using science mapping tools to document the structure of the literature; distinguish key journals, articles, and authors; and highlight new emerging topics of research.
