Bibliometric Analysis On Human Rights In The Amazon

Abstract

This article aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis of scientific production on human rights in the Amazon between 2014 and 2024. The aim was to identify the evolution of scientific production on human rights in the Amazon, the most recurrent authors, the institutions, journals, co-authorship networks, and keywords, as well as to map thematic gaps, with emphasis on studies addressing the inclusion of vulnerable groups. A quantitative and descriptive approach was adopted, using bibliometric techniques. Data were collected from databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and Science e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and analyzed with the support of VOSviewer software. The results reveal a significant increase in publications during the period, highlighting the role of institutions from Northern Brazil and researchers engaged in intersectional themes. However, there is a lack of studies focused on people with disabilities and social inclusion in Amazonian contexts. It is concluded that, despite scientific advances, persistent silences remain that must be addressed by a critical and territorialized science committed to social justice and the diversity of Amazonian peoples.
