Business failure is an increasingly relevant topic in the field of business management due to its impact on entrepreneurial ecosystems, strategic decision-making, and policy development. Although academic interest in this area has intensified in recent years, significant gaps remain that hinder a comprehensive understanding of its underlying causes and evolving patterns. This study aims to explore the main research trends related to business failure by identifying key thematic developments, influential contributors, and conceptual gaps in the existing academic literature. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA 2020 protocol, analyzing documents indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The analysis considered publication trends, most cited authors and journals, contributing countries, and keyword co-occurrence networks to examine the thematic evolution and structure of the field. The findings highlight the need for future research agendas focused on emerging areas such as machine learning, financial distress, entrepreneurial failure, and business failure prediction. Additionally, the study suggests the adoption of interdisciplinary approaches and longitudinal analyses to address the dynamic and multifaceted nature of business failure. By integrating bibliometric and thematic perspectives, this review provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the literature, revealing under-explored topics and research opportunities, and offering valuable insights to guide future scholarly work in this critical area of business research.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to determine the research areas with the largest numbers of publications, the most influential researchers, and research trends in Peruvian Universities. Methodology: A bibliometric analysis was conducted from the Scopus database by retrieving a total of 29,935 documents between 2008 and 2021. Findings: The study analyzed the scientific production of 93 accredited universities in Peru between 2008 and 2021, retrieved 29,935 documents, and observed an annual growth rate of 15% before Law 30,220, and 28% after. Medicine, social sciences, and engineering are the subject areas with the most publications. The study also found that Peruvian universities have contributed to 27 research areas. Peru, the United States, and Brazil were the top countries in collaboration. The study also illustrated the intellectual and conceptual structure of scientific production, with the greatest relevance in medicine and health.

Research on organizational culture and teamwork is progressing substantially, and the interest in understanding culture as an organizational phenomenon and its links with other variables of organizations are perspectives that need to be considered to obtain a better understanding and knowledge of achieving organizational aims. The objective of this study was to analyze the research and its contributions to organizational culture and teamwork through indicators of quantity, quality and structure. The information was obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science databases through structured search equations. The bibliographic data were merged and processed using Microsoft Excel, and by applying and using the PRISMA 2020 statement, 836 records were obtained. VOSviewer software was used to map networks, overlay displays and analyze keyword densities. The findings revealed that organizational culture and teamwork are constantly expanding and being researched in different organizations, with studies relating organizational culture and teamwork to knowledge management, patient safety culture, knowledge exchange, interprofessional collaboration and innovation. The maximum number of publications on the topic occurred in 2019. As indicated by VOSviewer, the keyword communication was associated with three of the identified clusters, and the research agenda proposed the expanding of themes related to leadership, knowledge exchange, knowledge management, interprofessional collaboration and safety climate.

Traditional chemistry is undergoing a transition process towards a sustained paradigm shift under the principles of green chemistry. Green chemistry is emerging as a pillar of modern chemistry focused on sustainability. In this context, the aim of this study was to analyse green chemistry research and its contributions using quantity, quality, and structural indicators. For this purpose, data were retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science through a structured search equation for the study period, i.e., 2012 to 2022. These data were compiled and processed in Microsoft Excel version 2307, totalling 2450 records. VOSviewer software, version 1.6.18, was used to map the keyword network and for overlay and density visualisations. The results showed that green chemistry is constantly increasing in different fields of knowledge, with new studies in green solvents, eutectic solvents, and education for sustainable development. The number of publications peaked in 2019, slightly decreasing in subsequent years due to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As visualised through VOSviewer, the keyword “sustainability” is connected to all clusters, and green synthesis, catalysis, sustainability, curriculum, and higher degrees are leading trends in green chemistry research. The study could benefit researchers and professionals interested in green chemistry and sustainability.

Microbial fuel cells have undergone several modifications since their creation, mainly due to the different substrates that can be used as fuel for the generation of electrical energy. In this research, a deep and updated analysis of the characteristics of the literature published in the Scopus database from 1990 to 30 December 2022 has been carried out, finding 7055 documents indexed. The most used keywords are microbial fuel cells, performance, and electricity generation. From 2011 to the present, 5289 article-type documents were published; the article entitled “Microbial Fuel Cells: Methodology and Technology” by Logan B. E. et al., 2006 from Pennsylvania State University, USA in the Environmental Science and Technology journal of the ACS publisher was the most cited (4496 citations). On the other hand, in recent years, Chinese universities have begun to produce and highlight a number of documents positioning in the top ten, with six universities having the greatest presence in publications and as the country with the highest number of published and indexed documents (2773) in Scopus. Research on microbial fuel cells tends to grow, with China as a leading country on the subject, written by the author Wang X. It is observed that the new cell research trends deal with the modification and fabrication of electrodes with nanomaterials in order to improve their power and reduce costs to show their viability on a larger scale.
