Abstract
Based on a systematic literature review, this study aims to survey applications regarding how the concept of “downstream” is used. Taking as a starting point the research question: “Based on scientific literature, in which areas is downstream used?”, it will leave us to obtain a more accurate image of the areas which make use of “downstream” and in what context. Considering the documents found, a descriptive analysis was attained, allowing a ‘big picture’, and then a set of documents were selected for critical analysis. To complement the analysis, bibliometric maps where developed for the co-authorship and co-citation networks, allowing the identification of clusters for authors’ countries considering documents’ weights and density by item and keywords. Based on the score of the keywords by average of occurrence by publication year, it is possible to visualize their use over the years. The results show a current trend in the use of “satellite data” and “imagery” and “downstream applications”.
