Eco-inovação: panorama da publicação internacional para o período de 1996-2016

Abstract

The economic productive process is dynamic. This system has focus on productive efficiency, even if it has social, institutional and environmental implications. In this sense, from the fourth quarter of the 20th century, several conferences (such as the Stockholm Conference of 1972, Rio-92 and Rio + 20) were consolidated to discuss issues related to the environment and to a change in the economic scenario with a focus on strictly economic issues. From conferences, a proposal for sustainable development gains space in the international field. One of the paths, derived from the chains that defend sustainable development, is related to an implementation of Eco-innovations. Eco-innovations constitute the recent theoretical element in the scientific literature, including the link with innovations proposed by Schumpeterian and evolutionary theory. For an analysis of a recent theme, a bibliometry is a reference for demonstrate the world perspective of the emergent thematic. The present work presents Eco-innovations and the current panorama of the scientific publications on the subject. The portfolio established from the research was composed of 148 scientific articles. The main results are: the international scenario of publications has a tendency to increase, which has increased in recent years; There is a proportion of more relevant periodicals according to Bradoford's Law is the Journal of Cleaner Production; the Lotka's Law brings us information that 2.12% of the authors are the most productive with three or four publications; the main contributor to international publications is Europe; the institution that most contributed to the international publication is the Autonomous University of Barcelona; The most relevant author according to the volume of quotations is Klaus Rennings and the most relevant article, by the number of citations already received, is from the same; from a qualitative analysis of the portfolio, there were 25 articles of a theoretical nature and 123 of a practical nature.
