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.

Introduction: in the context of the depletion of fossil fuels and the threat of climate change, countries are betting on a change in the energy paradigm, where lithium-ion batteries are at the technological frontier and their production has become widespread in recent decades. Objective: to characterize the scientific output on lithium-ion batteries by analyzing SciVal topics. Method: bibliometric study on the scientific output published in Scopus concerning lithium batteries between 2017 and 2021. SciVal was used to analyze articles clustered in the topic "Lithium-ion Batteries; Lithium Ion; Electrodes". Production, citation and collaboration indicators were determined. Result: 98 articles were published in this topic, where the most productive year in papers and citations was 2017 (%Ndoc=25,51 %; %Ncit=46,53). 65,3 % of the articles were registered in the area "Materials Science" and 51 % within the area "Chemistry". 2 % of the articles were found in the top 1 % of the most cited articles, 27,5 % presented international collaboration. China (Ndoc=64), Japan (Ndoc=)20 and the United States (Ndoc=8) concentrated most of the scientific output, with China Three Gorges University being the most productive institution (Ndoc=11). Conclusions: the scientific output on lithium batteries was mainly concentrated in first quartile journals, with articles in the areas of materials science and chemistry. There was a high rate of international collaboration, however, a low University - Company collaboration.
