Research agenda on green information technology – green it

Abstract

The purpose of this section is to offer a guide on the investigation of Information Technology Verde - IT Verde. For this, bibliometric research was carried out, to provide indications about the historical evolution, the scientific areas that have been researched the most on the subject, the works with greater influence on the subsequent investigation, as well as the dominant authors. The results revealed the existence of a theoretical gap related to the study of the individual's behavior as a consumer of IT products, because of the focus predominantly directed to companies in previous works. In general, the TI Verde research started in 2007 and, in both selected databases (Scopus and Web of Science), the country that publishes the most on the subject is the United States. The most frequent terms in the articles are related to energy, use, efficiency, and management models
