“…Other authors have studied its forests and their diversity [154], freshwater ecosystems [155], as well as the discovery of new species [156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163]. Due to the importance of the Galapagos Islands, water security and water quality have been studied [164][165][166], the impact on fishery resources [167,168], damage caused by plastic waste [169], the effects on the soils of complex agrosystems [170] and air quality [171].…”

Ecuador has shown a growth in its scientific production since 2011, representing 85% of the total historical production. These investigations are reflected in scientific publications, which address world interest topics and serve as a link for the university, business, and society. This work aims to analyze the scientific production generated by Ecuador in the period of 1920–2020 using bibliometric methods to evaluate its intellectual structure and performance. The methodology applied in this study includes: (i) terms definition and search criteria; (ii) database selection, initial search, and document compilation; (iii) data extraction and software selection; and finally, (iv) analysis of results. The results show that scientific production has been consolidated in 30,205 documents, developed in 27 subject areas, in 13 languages under the contribution of 84 countries. This intellectual structure is in harmony with the global context when presenting research topics related to “Biology and regional climate change”, “Higher education and its various approaches”, “Technology and Computer Science”, “Medicine”, “Energy, food and water”, and ”Development and applications on the Web”. Topics framed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainability, climate change, and others. This study contributes to the academic community, considering current re-search issues and global concerns, the collaboration between universities and countries that allow establishing future collaboration links.

“…Environmental economic valuation aims to find a monetary measure of the earnings/losses of welfare that a person gets from the provision of an environmental good or change in the provision of that good. It is a fundamental tool for the proper definition of environmental policy instruments (Kolstad, 2011; Zambrano-Monserrate, 2020; Zambrano-Monserrate and Ruano, 2020). Environmental economic valuation methods are classified into two categories: (1) the stated preference method or the direct method, which exploits the survey technique of asking people about the value they give to environmental goods and nonmarketable services and about the changes in the environmental goods provided; and (2) the revealed preference method or the indirect method, which studies the ‘substitute markets,’ measures the value of nonmarketable goods and environmental services through analysis of the price fluctuations in the market for related economic goods (Zambrano-Monserrate, 2016; Gregg and Wheeler, 2018).…”

Estuaries are water bodies, many of which contribute to the sustainable development of cities. Many of them are considered natural landscapes, offering various recreational services to the population. However, estuary degradation is a common problem in developing countries. Ecuador, for example, has a significant problem with the pollution of its estuaries. Machala is one of the most affected cities due to the contamination of these water bodies. This issue has generated negative externalities in the housing market. Thus, our central hypothesis is that rental prices of houses are revalued as their distance from polluted estuaries increases. Using the hedonic pricing approach, our results confirm that the price of a residence increases by US$9.45 for every 100 m farther it is from the closest estuary. This amount constitutes approximately 5.25 per cent of the average rental value in Machala.

“…In contemporary archaeology, material culture exists on the surface, literally and conceptually (Harrison 2011; although it should be noted how plastic is also increasingly present within sedimentary deposits (e.g. Zalasiewicz et al 2016;Mytum & Meek 2021).…”

“…This includes the implementation of a waste-management programme that has the highest recycling rate in Ecuador, and a provincial ordinance regulating single-use plastics (e.g. Zambrano-Monserrate & Ruano 2020). A similar approach has also been undertaken with great success in Australia (Donnelly et al .…”
