Women in Technology: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Last Five Years

Abstract


This paper aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of the five years of the Women in Technology (WIT). The research uses indicators of Productivity and Impact, as well as indicators of Scientific Collaboration. The analysis reveals that the number of papers, authors and citations has increased over the years. On the other hand, the scientif collaborations network appears fragmented, with many groups publishing in isolation. It is possible to conclude that WIT is strengthening itself as a space for sharing experiences and knowledge of an active community interested in the theme of women in technology.
Keywords: Bibliometric Analysis, Social Network Analysis, Women in Technology
