open science, bibliometric analysis, scientific publicationsAbstract
The primary objective of this article is to present a bibliometric analysis of the literature concerning open science and open access published in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2026. Adopting a quantitative approach with a descriptive scope, this study employs bibliometric techniques to evaluate the evolution and behavior of the field. The research corpus was delimited through specialized search equations, identifying a total of 7,933 sources. The findings reveal a significant upward trend in scientific production in recent years, highlighting dominant research themes and a strong pattern of international collaboration. Consequently, this analysis offers critical insights into the trends and patterns of scientific output, providing a comprehensive overview of the current research landscape while identifying key directions for future inquiry.
