Producción científica y su contribución al cumplimiento de los ODS: Un análisis bibliométrico en la UTEQ

Scientific production in higher education institutions remains a challenge for the visibility of the scientific and research work of professors and researchers, as well as for compliance with indicators in categorization and evaluation processes. Therefore, at the Quevedo State Technical University, scientific production, institutional collaborations, and their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals were evaluated. The analysis included the performance of scientific production and bibliometric mapping using the PRISMA protocol and SCOPUS as a scientific database, with a range from 2004 to 2024. The sustained growth of scientific production at UTEQ stands out, with 753 documents and 4,954 citations. The results show the initial focus on agricultural and biological sciences, with subsequent growth in topics such as climate change and advanced technologies. The university has established collaborations with 47 countries, with Spain, Mexico, and Colombia being its main international partners. At the national level, it has strengthened its collaboration with key institutions such as the Technical University of Cotopaxi and the Amazon State University. This study provides a comprehensive framework for assessing university impact on scientific research and its contribution to the Sustainable Development
