Indústria 4.0: uma análise bibliométrica

Abstract

The general objective of this study was to evaluate the scientific production on industry 4.0 through a bibliometric analysis, thus carrying out a quantitative analysis of the articles, using various criteria. Furthermore, this research used the Scielo platform as the main database, extracting important concepts and data on the topic. In methodological terms, 30 articles were analyzed, and the analysis consisted of two stages: Authorship and Affiliation and Bibliographic References. The results indicated that most of the articles were published in the last five years, with a greater predominance in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. Furthermore, the bibliographic references were predominantly international, which highlights the globalization of the topic. The research provided a comprehensive view of scientific production on industry 4.0, highlighting its main authors and works, although it was limited to just a single database. The study suggests carrying out future studies on other platforms so that new approaches to industry 4.0 can be explored.
