Consultoria: uma revisão bibliométrica da produção científica de 2012 a 2022

Abstract

The consulting activity is adaptable and flexible to each need arising from the contractor, in which the processes that are prohibited from review will be identified together with the consultant, which is why it is an activity that can be carried out in any profession. As it is such a comprehensive topic, this article aims to present the profile of the scientific production on the topic Consulting published between the years 2012 to 2022. A bibliographic review was carried out, with searches in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, using the Consulting descriptor, with its results treated by the RStudio software. A total of 71 documents were found, 58 of them categorized in the article typology, low number of collaboration between authors, with only one journal with the highest number of publications on the consulting topic (five) and most of the documents published in the health area. It is possible to conclude that the topic is poorly understood in academic research with low interactivity among authors who deal with the subject and with a boost in the number of publications after the occurrence of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, which explains the concentration of keywords in the area of health.
