Abstract Microplastics (MPs) pollution has garnered significant interest as a serious environmental problem. To date, a large amount of research has been published on this topic. We analyzed the related studies to assess the global developments of MPs regarding the evolution, research trends, and hotspots by bibliometric. A total of 2,872 bibliographic records were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, and CiteSpace 5.4 was used for bibliometrics. The results visually displayed the contributing countries, institutions, authors, keywords, and potential research directions in the MPs fields. The scientific developments in this field began in 2004 and have accelerated considerably since 2012. China and the USA are the leading countries in MPs research. The research on MPs is multidisciplinary and involves Ecology, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Environmental Science, and Oceanography. Among these, Oceanography was the most connected with MPs and was the most well-developed. Overall, we mapped the development of MPs research and attempted a comprehensive discussion and understanding of scientific advances, as well as the progress made.

The article proposes an approach to analyzing and predicting the thematic evolution of research by identifying an upward trend in keywords. Statistical analysis of the vocabulary of publications allows us to trace the depth of penetration of new ideas and methods, which can be set by the frequency of occurrence of words encoding whole concepts. The article presents a developed method for analyzing research trends and an article ranking algorithm based on the structure of a direct citation network. Data for the study was extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection, 6696 publications were collected for the experiment over the period 2005—2016 in the field of artificial intelligence. To evaluate the proposed method, 3211 publications were collected from 2017 to 2019. As a result, the method was evaluated by checking the presence of predicted keywords in the set of the most frequent terms for the period 2017—2019 and provided an accuracy of 73.33 %.

The bibliometric method has proven to be a powerful tool for the analysis of scientific publications, in such a way that allows rating the quality of the knowledge generating process, as well as its impact on firm´s environment. This article presents a comparison between two powerful bibliographic databases in terms of their coverage and the usefulness of their content. The comparison starts with a subject associated to the relationship between resources and capabilities. The outcomes show that the search results differ between both databases. The Web Of Science (WOS), has a greater coverage than SCOPUS has.  It also has a greater impact in terms of most cited authors and publications. The search results in the WOS yield articles from 2001, while Scopus yields articles from 1976, however, some of the latter are inconsistent with the topic being searched. The analysis points to a lack of studies regarding resources as foundations of firm´s capabilities; as a result, new research on this field is suggested.
