Trends in scientific production in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering area in Scopus between 2017 and 2021

Abstract

Introduction: industrial and manufacturing engineering focuses on designing, improving and optimizing production systems and business operations to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, quality and profitability of companies. Objective: to characterize the scientific production published in Scupus in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering research area between 2017 and 2021. Method: observational, descriptive and bibliometric analysis of the articles published in Scopus in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering research area between 2017 and 2019. SciVal was used as a metric tool based on the data collected from Scopus for the analysis of the area based on indicators of production citation and collaboration. Result: 357 310 articles were published in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering research area, where 21 % responded equally to the Environmental Sciences area, 18,7 to Energy and 17,8 % to the Computer Science area. The most productive themes were the topics T.1114 (n= 3285) and T.3401 (n=1883). 41,1 % of the articles presented only institutional collaboration. According to the percentile based on the CiteScore, 49,2 % of the articles were published in Q1 journals. The Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most productive institution (5 853). Conclusions: scientific production in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering area was characterized by increasing trends in volume and decreasing citations, as well as by transdisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and international and national collaboration. The articles were mostly published in high-impact journals.

Mapping the structure of knowledge about Community and Home Care

“…Por su parte se corresponde con los datos expuestos por Castro Fernández (11) en su trabajo de grado al referirse en su investigación que alrededor del 25 % de los artículos analizados correspondieron con revistas clasificadas en Q1 según CiteScore. (9) Rodríguez-Gómez (12) en su estudio sobre el análisis de las investigaciones cualitativas en salud pública publicadas en revistas biomédicas, expone que las principales temáticas que abordaron los trabajos analizados comprendieron la atención a pacientes con virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), seguido del cáncer y APS en general. Resultados que no concuerdan con la presente investigación.…”

Key players in renewable energy and artificial intelligence research

“…(23) From the above, it is evident that AI is forming part of the transition process towards RE with the development of innovative software that facilitates environmental monitoring. (24) The third and last cluster identified with the blue color is related to energy models. This cluster is integrated by the words Artificial Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm, Solar Energy, and Wind Energy.…”

Energy efficiency management according to ISO 50001: A case study in the brick industry

“…An Energy Management System (EMS) is a set of elements that establishes a framework and manages policies, processes, and procedures in the organization [4], [5]. Energy savings, some without capital investment, can be achieved by applying energy management methods [6], applying statistical tools to improve energy efficiency in the production process. [7].…”
