This chapter presents a bibliometric analysis of academic literature on human flourishing produced in Mexico. Drawing on the Scopus and OpenAlex databases, keyword searches were conducted in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, focusing on documents produced in Latin America since 2000. The keywords reflect a broad understanding of human flourishing, closely associated with the concept of quality of life. A dataset of approximately 320,000 documents was compiled. The information was organized according to three criteria: productivity, influence, and relevance. These criteria were combined to construct a Human Flourishing Research Indicator (FRI), used to identify significant authors, institutions, publications, and research topics. Most publications are in English, with notable exceptions in the medical field. Research is primarily conducted in public institutions and covers topics such as environmental behavior, the economics of happiness, labor well-being, multidimensional poverty, sustainability, and integral human development. The most prominent thematic cluster is associated with quality of life, encompassing both medical and social connotations. While the explicit use of the term human flourishing is limited, related research themes have increased in Mexico over the past two decades. In addition to topics from the health sector, environmental sustainability has become a central concern, with growing academic contributions on themes such as the circular economy, alternative energy, and resilience. Language patterns suggest a tension between international visibility and local relevance, highlighting a dynamic and evolving research landscape in Mexico.

摘要

This chapter presents a bibliometric analysis of academic literature on human flourishing produced in Mexico. Drawing on the Scopus and OpenAlex databases, keyword searches were conducted in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, focusing on documents produced in Latin America since 2000. The keywords reflect a broad understanding of human flourishing, closely associated with the concept of quality of life. A dataset of approximately 320,000 documents was compiled. The information was organized according to three criteria: productivity, influence, and relevance. These criteria were combined to construct a Human Flourishing Research Indicator (FRI), used to identify significant authors, institutions, publications, and research topics. Most publications are in English, with notable exceptions in the medical field. Research is primarily conducted in public institutions and covers topics such as environmental behavior, the economics of happiness, labor well-being, multidimensional poverty, sustainability, and integral human development. The most prominent thematic cluster is associated with quality of life, encompassing both medical and social connotations. While the explicit use of the term human flourishing is limited, related research themes have increased in Mexico over the past two decades. In addition to topics from the health sector, environmental sustainability has become a central concern, with growing academic contributions on themes such as the circular economy, alternative energy, and resilience. Language patterns suggest a tension between international visibility and local relevance, highlighting a dynamic and evolving research landscape in Mexico.
