Metric Studies of Information in Animal Fat Research for Biodiesel Production in Brazil between 2008 and 2019 in the Scope of Web of Science
Abstract
The aim of this paper was to analyze the literature published about animal fat as input for biodiesel
production by authors affiliated to Brazilian organizations from 2008 to 2019 through metric
studies of information. For this, an exploratory-descriptive research was conducted. The data
revealed an average growth rate of 21.15% in literature in the analyzed period, especially those
indexed in the areas of Chemistry and Engineering. The most common co-authorship level was
formed by groups of six authors and the average collaboration coefficient was high, regardless of
the number of documents. The cooperation between national institutions showed strong, thanks,
supposedly, to the creation of the Brazilian Biodiesel Technology and Innovation Network. The
most productive institutions were also identified. It was observed that the researches are centered
on bovine fat, however, researches with chicken and pork fat began to gain prominence.
