ANÁLISE BIBLIOMÉTRICA DA ESPECTRORRADIOMETRIA E GEOESTATÍSTICA DE SOLOS: UMA DISCUSSÃO EM 10 ANOS

The increase of bibliometric surveys in the measurement of scientific activity has favored the development of important indicators. In this perspective, we intend to analyze the publications in scientific journals on spectroradiometry and soils, geostatistics and soil fertility on a 10-year time scale. Therefore, the SCOPUS platform was used for the analysis, configuring the search data, selecting only the articles, the search limit per year and the knowledge field limit. Subsequently, the general information of all journals including country of publication, authors' names, co-authors, citations, among others, were exported and semantic networks were established in the VOSviewer® program, selecting the period from 2007 to 2017. There was an increase in the number of publications of the two themes surveyed over time, the country that most published on spectroradiometry and soils is the USA, and on geostatistics and soil fertility in China and Brazil.
