Bioeconomy: bibliometric analysis from 2006 to 2019

Abstract

This research aimed at the understanding of bioeconomy through the exploration of scientific studies related to the concept in academic literature. A bibliometric analysis was carried out with 2.321 publications in the Web of Science database between 2006-2019. The structural analysis of the work in bioeconomy showed that there is a high rate of cooperation with a rich research network between institutions of European countries (8 of 11 groups) and comparatively a low level of collaboration with other nations.

How do individual-level factors influence the adoption of low-carbon technology? Proposing and validating the bioeconomy technology acceptance model in the context of Africa

“…None of these studies analyzed consumer choices or public acceptance relating to the bioeconomy in Africa. In particular, authors have acknowledged that the knowledge base for the bioeconomy lags behind in Africa (Bambo and Pouris, 2020;Perea et al, 2020;Feleke et al, 2021;Mougenot and Doussoulin, 2022). A literature search shows no past research has attempted to explore, at an individual level, public acceptance of bioeconomy as a low-carbon technological innovation to combat climate change.…”

Predicting Acceptance of Biobased Products Based on Subjective Knowledge, Environmental Attitude, Perceived Usefulness and Socio-Demographic Characteristics

“…From the foregoing, and sparse information on the influence of individual-level factors on consumers' acceptance of bioeconomy (Ramcilovic-Suominen and Pülzl, 2018;Navrátilová et al, 2020), it is important to understand effects of individual-level factors on consumers' acceptance of biobased products to increase the share of biobased products in the consumer market towards achieving the desired level of acceptance of in the society. This is much more important in Africa where adoption of biobased products is quite scant (Ncube et al, 2022;Sekabira et al,2022;Fertahi et al, 2023) and knowledge base for the bioeconomy remains limited (Perea et al, 2020;Faleke et al, 2021;Mougenot & Doussoulin, 2022). In order to expand the literature on acceptance of bioeconomy , this study is focused on exploring the effects of three individual-level factors, namely subjective knowledge, environmental attitude and perceived usefulness, and five socio-demographic factors (gender, age , marital status, education level and place of residence) on consumers' acceptance of biobased products.…”
