Gentrification as an Emerging Source of Environmental Research

Abstract

Gentrification is a controversial term that refers to certain changes in neighbourhoods that result in the economic and social transformation of a low-income area into one of higher value, moving or pushing out the old population and businesses. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a new branch of research in the field of environmental studies. It presents a bibliometric analysis of the gentrification process, scanning the scientific articles published in journals since 1979, from different knowledge areas and analysing the impact factors and the evolution of the term itself. The review of scientific journals uses the Web of Science and Scopus databases for analysing the evolution of papers, the impact factors and references related to this concept. The results show that the literature related to gentrification is increasing at a very high rate, particularly in the fields of environmental science. Since 1987, the number of scientific papers in environmental studies that have focused on this topic have increased at an annual rate of 60.4%, making it a promising subject for researchers. Thus, the article represents a contribution to identify the main trends in gentrification research and environment and, from there, propose future research initiatives.

Labour market in sustainability transitions: a systematic literature review

“…The bibliometric analysis was selected as a technique for systematic literature analysis because it allows the estimate of the impact of publications, demonstrates the level of elaboration of the topic in the literature and facilitates the recognition of the latest trends (Uribe-Toril et al, 2018). Two principal procedures were applied: performance analysis and science mapping (Gaviria- Marin et al, 2019).…”

The concept of ‘talent’ in the labor management perspective - the bibliometric analysis of literature

“…The bibliometric analysis method was selected because it allows to estimate the impact of publications, demonstrates the level of elaboration of the topic in the literature and facilitates the recognition of the latest trends [4]. Two principal procedures were applied: performance analysis and science mapping [33].…”

“…In search for answers to this question, bibliometric analysis of scientific articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases was used. Bibliometric analysis is a useful tool, which facilitates the evaluation of developments in knowledge on a specific subject and assesses the scientific influence of research and sources [4].Special software, such as VOSviewer, propose a faster and easier way of data processing and assist visualization of the research results. Thus, this article represents how methodological approach with involvement of contemporary research tool facilitates the identification of the main trends in the field of talent and labour management and, from there, proposal future research initiatives.…”

Research Themes on the Quality of Public Services Exemplified By Healthcare Services — A Bibliometric Analysis

“…This method uses advanced clustering techniques for presenting the frequency and co-occurrence of keywords related to scientific publications, citations, co-citations, or co-authoring analyses (Montero-Díaz et al, 2018;Siderska & Jadaan, 2018;Cichowicz & Rollnik-Sadowska, 2018;Dias, 2019;Szpilko et al, 2019). Not only the influence of a publication could be analysed but also the subject's expansiveness in the literature, also identifying the latest trends (Uribe-Toril et al, 2018).…”
