Bibliometric Analysis of International Scientific Production on Susteainability Indicators for Agriculture in Irrigated Areas

Objective: Analyze the panorama of international scientific productions on Sustainability Indicators for Agriculture in Irrigated Areas, from 1945 to 2024, available in the Web of Science (WoS) database. Theoretical Framework: presents the concepts of sustainability, family farming and irrigated areas, theories that underlie the topic and its direct relationship with the environment, providing a theoretical support for a better understanding of the context of the investigation. Method: the bibliometric review method was used to interpret the evolution and development of scientific research carried out on sustainability indicators for family farming in irrigated areas, using the Web of Science (WoS) database through the CAPES journal portal and the VoSviewer. Results and Discussion: The results obtained a total of 685 articles, presented as highlights: Gomez-Limon, J.A. for the author with the most publications, total of 13 articles. The journal Agriculture Water Magment, with 54 publications, was the one that published the most, the area most used for publications was Agriculture with 47% (319) of publications, and the country that stood out the most was the United States with 162 publications. English was the predominant language in 92.6% of publications. In the network of co-citations by authors, the most referenced in publications was Singh, A., with 159 citations, and a strength ratio of 710. Research Implications: The contribution of this study is to present an overview of international scientific production on sustainability indicators for agriculture in irrigated areas, serving as a theoretical contribution that will support future research on the topic. Originality/Value: The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by identifying the most relevant works, the authors who do the most research and the most emerging themes that need to be explored by academia.
