Resumen

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on systems thinking in students, contained in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2022. Design/Methodology/Approach: It was based on a descriptive and quantitative bibliometric analysis, using keywords in English (systems, thinking and Students) in the search, to obtain indicators of scientific production such as year of publication, country, source, institution of affiliation, type, author and thematic area. A bibliographic database was prepared in Excel for subsequent processing and generation of tables and graphs. Results/Discussion: Of the 361 papers selected, an increase in the number of academic papers published between 2014 and 2022 was observed for a total of 258 papers (71.5%). Most of these papers (70%) were scientific articles, and almost half (48%) developed in the area of social sciences, with the United States (27.6%) and the United Kingdom (10.3%) being the countries with the highest scientific production. Conclusions: The study contributes substantially to the scientific community by providing data on systems thinking in students, related to the most developed topics, the authors with the most publications, the sources with the highest visibility, the most productive countries and institutions, the year of production and the type of document generated. Originality/value: The relevance of the subject matter according to the indicators studied contributes to the creation of new documents on systems thinking in students, an important resource for evaluating new research trends and the contributions made by new authors.
