The value chain approach in red biotechnology companies from a bibliometric perspective

Abstract

This paper analyzes the value chain approach in the red biotechnology sector from a bibliometric perspective, using Scopus and Web of Science databases from 2011 to 2021. As a result, 82 documents that cover this topic are analyzed with VOSviewer and R studio. The main findings show that scientific interest increases with a positive publication trend during the considered time period. However, there are no authorship networks in both database. Furthermore, the main reason to use the value chain approach in the red biotech sector is that it highlights the government’s implication on the industry, given its social impact. As a research gap, we recommend to study the effects of Industry 4.0 on the red biotech value chain approach.
