FIGUEROA-RODRIGUEZ, Katia A. et al. Innovation and producers: a bibliometric analysis. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.2, pp.379-391. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v10i2.1750.

This article presents a bibliometric mapping for innovation and producers concepts. The map allows you to observe the concepts and topics in the area as well as identify relationships between them. Two maps were generated, the first used 841 articles available in SCOPUS from 1974 to 2018 (September 27) with 285 key terms, the second used 434 articles that comprised the period from 2013 to 2018 (September 27) and 152 key terms. The VOSviewer program was used to create both maps, the key concepts and the organization of cluster co-occurrences. The results show that trends are to document innovations developed for producers, analyze the actor (producer) as a subject that adopts innovations, study different transfer strategies and disseminate innovations such as innovation systems and social networks. In the case of Mexico, the main publications were made by CIMMYT researchers and are focused on corn. It is concluded that this research topic is in force, especially to theorize on how the processes of transfer, dissemination, diffusion and adoption of innovations can be facilitated.
