dc.descriptionEl propósito del trabajo es examinar la producción científica sobre la plataforma Airbnb utilizando métodos bibliométricos. En base al análisis de la productividad científica, este estudio destaca y proporciona una descripción general actualizada de la investigación sobre Airbnb al revelar patrones en revistas, artículos y autores, así como los países más influyentes. Además, ilustra gráficamente cómo han evolucionado los temas de investigación mediante un análisis de co-ocurrencia de palabras y señala las tendencias potenciales para investigaciones futuras. El diseño metodológico del estudio consta de tres fases: la selección de las fuentes de documentos, la definición de las variables a analizar y el análisis bibliométrico. Se realizó un análisis estadístico multivariante de todas las características de los documentos con el software R. Además, se utilizaron técnicas de procesamiento del lenguaje natural para analizar todos los resúmenes y palabras clave especificadas en los 129 documentos seleccionados. Los resultados muestran la génesis y evolución de las publicaciones científicas sobre la plataforma Airbnb, la dispersión de las revistas y sus características, las características de los autores y su productividad, la distribución geográfica de las investigaciones y el análisis de contenido mediante palabras clave.es
dc.description.abstractPurpose – The purpose of this study is to examine Airbnb research using bibliometric methods. Using research performance analysis, this study highlights and provides an updated overview of Airbnb research by revealing patterns in journals, papers and most influential authors and countries. Furthermore, it graphically illustrates how research themes have evolved by mapping a co-word analysis and points out potential trends for future research. Design/methodology/approach – The methodological design for this study involves three phases: the document source selection, the definition of the variables to be analyzed and the bibliometric analysis. A statistical multivariate analysis of all the documents’ characteristics was performed with R software. Furthermore, natural language processing techniques were used to analyze all the abstracts and keywords specified in the 129 selected documents. Findings – Results show the genesis and evolution of publications on Airbnb research, scatter of journals and journals’ characteristics, author and productivity characteristics, geographical distribution of the research and content analysis using keywords. Research limitations/implications – Despite Airbnb having a history of 10 years, research publications only started in 2015. Therefore, the bibliometric study includes papers from 2015 to 2019. One of the main limitations is that papers were selected in October of 2019, before the year was over. However, the latest academic publications (in press and earlycite) were included in the analysis. Originality/value – This study analyzed bibliometric set of laws (Price’s, Lotka’s and Bradford’s) to better understand the patterns of the most relevant scientific production regarding Airbnb in tourism and hospitality journals. Using natural language processing techniques, this study analyzes all the abstracts and keywords specified in the selected documents. Results show the evolution of research topics in four periods: 2015-2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.es
