Social capital and sustainable development
A bibliometric and visualization analysis
Abstract
Since 1990, research on social capital (SC) and Sustainable Development (SD) has increased considerably because SC enhances the dimensions of SD. The aim of this study is to provide a bibliometric overview of the existing literature in the fields of SC and SD, through a quantitative view. The data collected covered the period 1994-2022, using Scopus datasets. The units of analysis were journals, countries, institutions, authors and publications. The bibliometric methods used were performance analysis and scientific mapping. The performance analysis used indicators such as the h-index, productivity, citation threshold and temporality dimensions. For scientific mapping, joint citation and keyword co-occurrence techniques were used; network maps were created with the support of VOSviewer software. The results showed that the UK is the most productive and influential country in CS and SD publications. Authors Ann Dale and Lenore Newman were the most representative. Sustainability, human capital and the types of social capital: union, bridging and vertical, are the main emerging topics related to CS and SD.
