Towards a Better Understanding of Blue Economy : A Bibliometric and SNA Approach

The blue economy is a relatively new concept, but it has quickly gained traction in recent years. It refers to the sustainable use of the ocean and its resources for economic growth. The blue economy encompasses a wide range of sectors, including fisheries, aquaculture, marine transportation, and renewable energy. Despite its growing importance, there is still a lack of understanding of the blue economy. This is partly due to the fact that it is a complex and multidisciplinary field. It also reflects the fact that research on the blue economy is still relatively new. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the blue economy by using bibliometric and social network analysis (SNA) methods. Bibliometrics is a quantitative approach to the study of scholarly communication. It uses data from academic journals and other publications to analyze trends in research. SNA is a method for analyzing the relationships between different entities, such as authors, institutions, or keywords. The paper begins by providing an overview of the blue economy. It then discusses the use of bibliometric and SNA methods to study the blue economy. The paper then presents the results of a bibliometric and SNA analysis of blue economy research.
