De la página a la práctica. Analizando la evolución de la Revista Signos. Revisión bibliométrica 2009-2023

In the current context, marked by the diversification of standards in management systems and the influence of global trends such as Industry 4.0, climate change and the growing attention to mental health, a key challenge arises for management leaders: to keep themselves constantly updated and engaged in self-learning. This environment demands the creation of new fields of research that not only respond to emerging demands, but also drive innovation within management systems. Research must guarantee the practical application of the knowledge generated through its dissemination and understanding, which in turn enhances its impact in various sectors. In this scenario, universities, through their scientific journals, play an essential role in making advances visible, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and contributing to the theoretical and practical development of management systems. Since its creation in 2009, the journal Signos: Investigación en Sistemas de Gestión (ISSN 2145-1389) has been a key space for disseminating research related to quality management, environmental management, occupational health and safety management, social responsibility, comprehensive management and other management systems. However, in the face of new global trends, it is crucial to reflect on its role in the generation of knowledge and to update its lines of research in order to keep in line with emerging needs. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to analyze the evolution of the lines of research published in the journal Signos: Revista de Gestión de las Organizaciones during the period 2009-2023, using a descriptive bibliometric analysis of 268 articles. The results revealed a significant growth in the journal's scientific output, highlighting topics such as quality, integrated management systems, and occupational health and safety (OHS). In addition, emerging approaches were identified, such as technology and data management, business continuity, supply chain, change management and mental health, underlining the need to update the lines of research to strengthen their impact and contribution to theoretical and practical advances in management systems.
