Clusters: uma análise bibliométrica entre o período de 2010 a 2017

Abstract

The studies about the Cluster seek to verify how public or private organizations that inhabit the same region interact seeking greater efficiency. Considering the importance given to the topic in the academic environment, this study aimed to verify the panorama of scientific publications on clusters between the years 2010 to 2017 in Brazilian periodicals, seeking among them the participation of public organizations. As a theoretical approach, the present article brings a collection of concepts and characteristics about clusters / local productive clusters, as well as the role of public organizations in them. In order to contribute to the understanding of the research, a topic on bibliometrics is included with its main concepts and laws that govern it. Through the bibliographical method, it was tried to analyze the panorama of the existing publications, framing the research as descriptive using bibliometrics with its statistical tools to reach the proposed objective. For this, a bibliometric survey was carried out on the subject by the Spell platform, where a total of 56 articles related to the theme were located, distinguishing them in private; public / private and; public. We analyzed the relationships between the authors of the articles and constructed a network of authors through the software Gephi 0.9.2. It was also verified the variation of the number of publications per year of publication and the periodicals that published on the subject with their respective qualis classified by CAPES, in which they were found and distributed in A2, B2, B3 and B4. The research results pointed to a gap in studies exploring the role of public organizations within Clusters.
