“…Establishing the comparisons in this article, in terms of meta-analytical science measurements [72], we can detail work on a generic search vector that attempts to study the Blue Economy, without the emphasis or sectoral limitations that other recently published literature has had [21,40], allowing a panoramic view of this economy type. A single database is also used, which allows a homogeneous comparison between the extracted articles-mainly Scopus articles that not indexed in JCR-WoS, given their non-homologous nature [73], establishing in this methodological aspect differences with recent bibliometric articles published on topics related to the Blue Economy [21,74]; although, with the consequent elitization of the sample, in search of defining the epistemic community and its referents, internal comparisons are achieved with a higher methodological quality.…”
