“…For example, in our study the AKs “SENSOR NETWORKS” and “SENSOR NETWORK” (Levenshtein distance 0.93) have been considered as two different words. This procedure differs from most of the studies consulted (Ding, Chowdhury, & Foo, ; Leung, Sun, & Bai, ; Wang, Li, Li, & Li, ). Any observer can intuit that, conceptually, both terms are the same, but in our study we consciously decided not to do so.…”

Our purpose is to adapt a statistical method for the analysis of discrete numerical series to the keywords appearing in scientific articles of a given area. As an example, we apply our methodological approach to the study of the keywords in the Library and Information Sciences (LIS) area. Our objective is to detect the new author keywords that appear in a fixed knowledge area in the period of 1 year in order to quantify the probabilities of survival for 10 years as a function of the impact of the journals where they appeared. Many of the new keywords appearing in the LIS field are ephemeral. Actually, more than half are never used again. In general, the terms most commonly used in the LIS area come from other areas. The average survival time of these keywords is approximately 3 years, being slightly higher in the case of words that were published in journals classified in the second quartile of the area. We believe that measuring the appearance and disappearance of terms will allow understanding some relevant aspects of the evolution of a discipline, providing in this way a new bibliometric approach.

“…More specifically, regarding management, marketing, and economic fields, there are bibliometric analyses of particular areas, such as the relationship between sustainability and innovation [18]; green innovation [19]; social innovation [20]; sustainability and information technology [21]; sustainability research in marketing [22]; green and sustainable supply chain management and sustainable logistics [23-25]; resilience thinking in socioecological research [26]; resilience applied to regional development [27], green-, circular-, and bio-economy research [28,29]; and ecological economics [30]. The literature also offers bibliometric studies that analyze: tourism research in general [31,32]; questions, such as statistical methods, in tourism research [33]; psychological research on tourism [34]; tourism gender research [35]; financial research on tourism [36]; tourism "competition" [37]; medical tourism research [38]; business ethics in tourism and hospitality [39,40]; innovation in hospitality Sustainability 2018, 10, 1976 3 of 23and tourism [41]; strategic management in hospitality and tourism [42]; and social media research on tourism and hospitality [43].

Sustainability is a growing research topic in tourism due to the importance of environmental and social issues, and the maintenance of patrimony and other facilities to conserve the potential of tourism destinations. Specifically, sustainability in tourism is crucial in order to guarantee a consistent development of destinations, measured by growth in income and employment. This relevance has been translated into an explosive growth in the sustainability literature regarding tourism, income, and employment. However, there is a lack of bibliometric and visualization research on tourism sustainability (TS), and specifically on its relationship with income and employment. This paper aims to present a bibliometric overview of TS research, and specifically TS related to income and employment. The current work analyzed 2279 references collected from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database and used the visualization of similarities (VOS)viewer program to graphically map the material. The study used co-occurrence of keywords, co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-authorship analyses. The results identify the development status and the leading trends in terms of impact, main journals, papers, topics, authors, institutions, and countries. The analysis and graphical presentations are relevant, as they can help researchers and practitioners better understand the state of the art of TS. explains the concept of TS and the relevance of bibliometrics for analyzing TS research by explaining bibliometrics in sustainable tourism. Then, it will look at the lack of bibliometrics in TS, considering its relationship with income and employment, and, finally, the relevance and contributions of our research.The concept of TS derives mainly from the broad terms of sustainability and sustainable development, although it has its own peculiarities, "the idea of sustainability in tourism has emerged as a new paradigm" [1] (p. 1123). The definition of sustainability is elusive (it is estimated that there are more than 300 definitions [6]). However, it emphasizes the need to preserve limited resources for future generations. Therefore, one of the most accepted definitions of sustainable development, that of Brundtland [7] (p. 43), defines it as "development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". The concept of sustainable development "has provided a platform on which different stakeholders in tourism can interact, negotiate, and reflect on their actions' consequences for the environment" and "the basic ideas and principles of sustainable development have been applied to tourism" [1] (p. 1124). However, the more specific concept of sustainable tourism also suffers an ambiguity in its definition [8] and has an integrative and multidimensional character that makes the concept difficult to quantify [9]. This has led to the appearance of conceptual, definitional papers, meaning that the debate about the concept has involved continuous, ongoing, unresolved c...
