Innovation and business models: a bibliometric study of scientific production on Web of Science database

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

This paper analyzed the characteristics of publications related to the topics Innovation and Business Models. The research was conducted in the Web of Science from ISI Web of Knowledge database seeking to identify the major themes, authors, areas, types of documents, and the sources, title, year of publication, institutions, countries, and languages of these publications, as well as “hot topics” related to the topic “Innovation and Business Models”. The study listed the most cited publications with authors who publish on the topic searched. Data analysis was based on the index calculations h-b and m. According to the results of this study, the number of publications has increased significantly over the period analyzed, with focus in the United States, with 97% of the publications written in English and the main source periodical - WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment. Among the 20 topics combined with the subjects studied, Market, Management, Strategy, R&D, and Industry presented an index of m ≥ 2, being classified as unique topics to reach not only in their own area of research. Results also show that the ten publications with the highest number of citations, and a reference in the subject researched, do not belong to the authors who publish on the subject.
