Tendencias de la logística inversa: Revisión bibliométrica 2014-2024
Resumen
La logística inversa ha adquirido creciente relevancia en el marco de la sostenibilidad y la economía circular, consolidándose como un área de investigación en expansión durante la última década. Este estudio bibliométrico tiene como objetivo analizar la evolución de la producción científica sobre logística inversa en el período 2014–2024, con el fin de identificar tendencias, vacíos de conocimiento y aportes teóricos en este campo. La búsqueda se realizó en la base de datos Scopus, consultada en marzo de 2025 y permitió obtener un total de 962 documentos publicados en 245 fuentes. El análisis se desarrolló con la herramienta Bibliometrix R-tool e incluyó indicadores de producción anual, citación, coautoría y redes de coocurrencia de palabras clave. Los resultados muestran un crecimiento sostenido de la producción científica, con un promedio de 87 artículos anuales, alcanzando un máximo de 110 en 2023. Las revistas más relevantes fueron Journal of Cleaner Production y Sustainability (Switzerland), mientras que China, India y Brasil se destacaron como los países con mayor producción. Además, se identificaron documentos altamente citados y redes temáticas emergentes en torno a la economía circular y tecnologías digitales. El aporte principal de este trabajo consiste en combinar un análisis bibliométrico de carácter cuantitativo con una revisión cualitativa de metodologías y aplicaciones, lo que facilita la identificación de vacíos en contextos sociales y en países en desarrollo.Los hallazgos ofrecen aportes relevantes para investigadores, empresas y responsables de políticas públicas, al brindar una visión actualizada del área de estudio y orientar futuras líneas de investigación hacia sistemas logísticos más sostenibles y resilientes.
