Research trends in management of cultural and creative industries in the Ibero-American network

Abstract

Although cultural and creative industries are considered as drivers of social and economic progress, they have received little attention from a managerial perspective in the Ibero-American context. To develop more in-depth knowledge of this topic, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of cultural and creative industries management in Ibero-American countries, using the Scopus database and VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R tools. The findings show that, despite general growing interest in recent years, exploration of the Ibero-American network is still in the early stages. The results also shed light on the complex, multifaceted relationship between cultural and creative industries management and innovation. Finally, sustainability and digitization were identified as the most prominent research trends.

Entrepreneurship and environments of international crisis: a bibliometric analysis approach

“…Documentation for our analysis was obtained from the Scopus database. We chose Scopus as a data source because it has a large number of research articles at global level and is a database used and recommended by researchers to perform this type of analysis [29,102]. Still, to improve solidity and precision of the data, we compared the results to those of a similar database, WoS, another source of multidisciplinary data used extensively worldwide [36] for bibliometric analysis because it provides various benefits for such studies [81].…”

“…Another important factor of analysis is author citations, which can be used to measure the influence of a specific study [102]. This method enables rapid identification of the most important contributions in the field, although the measure is biased toward older publications [102,114].…”
