Bibliometric Analysis, Descriptive Study, Agricultural Sector, Computer SystemsAbstract
The process of introducing computer systems in the agricultural sector, also known as Agriculture 4.0, seeks to optimize agricultural production and management at different stages of the agricultural production system. The purpose of the study was to explore research trends on the implementation of computer systems in the agricultural sector. The research approach was quantitative, with a descriptive scope and based on bibliometric procedures. The research was conducted in the SCOPUS database in the period between 1994 and 2023. A total of 73 investigations were obtained. The behavior of the research was heterogeneous, but a stable trend towards the growth of the field could be identified. Regarding the structure of knowledge, research in the area of biological sciences and agriculture predominated with 25 articles. The most productive country is India and the affiliation of the same country was Kumaun University India and the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, both with four investigations (n=4). The most cited journal with 110 citations was Ecological Informatics, a journal that has an impact factor of 0,92. Four main lines of research were identified from the keyword co-occurrence analysis
