Using text mining tools to define territorial competitiveness indicators

Abstract

For this study, articles from the fields of Social Sciences; Economics; Econometrics and Finance; Business and Management; and Accounting have been monitored for the period from 1979 to 2017. VOSviewer® was used to create, visualize and explore bibliometric information from Scopus scientific database, for the identification and definition of territorial competitiveness indi-cators. It has generated preliminary conclusions using citation relationships be-tween journals, collaborative relationships between researchers, and coexistence relationships between scientific terms from the identified target literature.
