Carbon pricing research in Brazil: advances and challenges / Pesquisa de preços de carbono no Brasil: avanços e desafios

Carbon pricing policies are currently considered to be implemented in Brazil, so understanding the present state of carbon pricing research focusing on the national perspective can support energy and environmental policy discussions and guide future research directions. Using the bibliometric method, we analysed 160 publications aiming at assessing the carbon pricing literature in Brazil by 2020. We found out a low and recent production of articles on carbon pricing in Brazil, concentrated from 2015 onwards. Climate Policy is the leading journal and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) leads the ranking of the top three authors. Most publications are related to land use change and deforestation, and few publications connect Brazil to carbon pricing policies instruments, like emission trading schemes (ETS) and carbon taxes. However, there is an increase in the number of articles relating Brazil to the energy and environmental policies considering the policy and governance approaches.

As a disruptive emerging technology, the Internet of things (IoT) has rapidly developed, but its privacy risks and security vulnerabilities are still key challenges. The decentralized and distributed architecture of blockchain has the potential to satisfy IoT privacy and security requirements. This gives birth to the new domain of blockchain for IoT (BIoT). BIoT will cause significant transformations across several industries, paving the way for new business models. Based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases in Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, this study aims to explore the research trends and cooperation in the field of BIoT using the bibliometric method. The results indicate that the publications in this field have increased significantly from 2016 to 2020, with China and the USA being the most productive and influential countries. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows that the most important research topics are as follows: security issues, core technologies, application dimensions, and transaction processes. Text mining analysis indicates that future research directions for BloT will focus more on both computing paradigms and key applications. This study will provide researchers with a greater understanding on the state of the art of BIoT and will serve as a reference for researchers engaging in this field to identify their own future research directions.

This article investigates the trends of scholarly publication in PPP research of R&D sector during the last three decades, including the publication patterns of the researchers' network and institutional structures. This article applies Bibliometric method by using VOSviewer to analyze and visualize scientific themes obtained from keywords ‘PPP and R&D’ through articles published in Scopus indexed journals. In mapping these keywords, this study found out that the most discussed topics include drug development, innovation policy, drug discovery, neglected tropical disease, global health, vaccines, and clinical trials. From these keywords, it could be concluded that the majority of the research areas of this topic focuses on the health sector. Lastly, this paper summarizes some future research directions and gives a recommendation. The recommendation is to make a mechanism for how PPP funding can be carried out in R&D activities. The PPP funding is not only meant for research infrastructure development but also R&D activities.
