Resumen

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar un análisis bibliométrico y sistémico del Portafolio Bibliográfico (PB) examinando conjuntamente la literatura relacionada con temas como “Gas de efecto invernadero”, principalmente el carbono, y “Gestión”, según lo publicado en bases de datos como Web of Science y Scopus, en el campo de las ciencias económicas y sociales. Se empleó la metodología del Proceso de Desarrollo del Conocimiento y Constructivismo—Proknow-C— para establecer el portafolio final y a través del programa VosViewer se mapearon los diversos grupos o relaciones entre la literatura estudiada. El trabajo presenta los aspectos teóricos y metodológicos centrándose en las áreas, países de estudio y el reconocimiento de los autores más relevantes que han investigado este tema en particular. A partir de este modelo constructivista, se describen las variables de medición y se sintetizan los conceptos más utilizados en estos estudios, con el fin de proponer nuevos enfoques temáticos que puedan desarrollarse en el futuro.
