“…Bibliometric, on the other hand, applies mathematical and statistical methods to the literature of a scientific nature and the authors that produce it, with the aim of studying and analysing scientific activity. The instruments used to measure aspects of scientific activity are bibliometric indicators, which are measures that provide information on the results of scientific activity in any of its manifestations [92]. It was introduced by E. Garfield in the mid-20th century, and has since become widespread in scientific research and, for decades, has helped to review knowledge across multiple disciplines.…”

Responsible higher education institutions have an impact on society and economic, environmental, and social development. These effects define the axes of the socially responsible management of the universities. The concept of university social responsibility (USR) manages these relationships to produce a positive impact on society through higher education, research, and the transfer of knowledge and technology, as well as education for sustainability. For this study, worldwide research into this subject was studied for the period 1970–2019. A bibliometric analysis of 870 articles was made, obtaining results for the scientific productivity of the journals, authors, institutions, and countries contributing to this research. The main category is business, management, and accounting. The most productive journal is the Business and Society Review, while the California Management Review is the most cited. The authors with the most articles are Stavnezer, Luo, and Lanero. The most productive institution is Wuhan University. The United States is the country with the most publications and citations, and the same country, together with the United Kingdom, make the most international contributions. Evidence shows growing worldwide interest in the economic and environmental impacts of USR. Future research should focus on analysing the links between the responsible and sustainable consumption of universities and their short-term financial, economic, and sustainable impacts.

“…Mathematical and statistical methods are applied to scientific literature to analyze the activity of a scientific theme. The explicit objective of this methodology is to search, identify, organize and analyze the trends of the research topic [62,63]. In recent decades, bibliometrics has contributed to the review of scientific knowledge and has been used successfully in different scientific fields [64][65][66].…”

“…In total, 1738 articles have been published in 915 international journals. According to the Scopus database, the 10 most productive journals, depending on the number of articles published on the subject, are: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (63); Journal of the American Dietetic Association (53); Public Health Nutrition (41); BMC Public Health (32); PLOS ONE (25); Food and Nutrition Bulletin (22); Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (19); Appetite (18); Nutrients (16); and American Journal of Preventive Medicine (13). Figure 4 shows the network map of the journals (abbreviated titles shown) that have been published around the world on management accounting for healthy nutrition education globally, based on co-citation analysis.…”

Management Accounting for Healthy Nutrition Education: Meta-Analysis

et al. 2020

Unequal economic growth shapes food systems. Nutrition problems incorporate inappropriate practices, so nutrition education is key to empowering consumers to choose healthy foods. However, increasing the accessibility of healthy diets is related to reducing the cost of nutritious foods. The accounting management of healthy nutrition should allow for optimal global decision-making. The evolution of scientific production and global research trends on this topic between 1968 and 2019 have been studied. Statistical and mathematical methods have been applied to 1738 documents from the Scopus database. The results provided data on the agents that participate in the development of the theme. Data reveal an exponential trend, especially in the previous decade, with more than 50% of scientific production. Future lines of research have been identified: investment in health systems; green label education; early impact of food insecurity; WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutrition education; food waste audit; and ecological footprint of food. The central contribution of the study has been to detect the main future directions of research, providing critical points that will allow us to identify the themes of future publications, in addition to providing an instrument for decision-making carried out by the research funding sponsors.

“…Since the advent of Garfield's science citation index in the 1950s [1], bibliometrics have been formally used to assess academic productivity and performance [2]. Although the use of bibliometric studies predates Garfield, the need to assess mathematically and statistically the quantity and quality of published work did not arise until the 1960s.…”
