Resumen
Scientific and technical research in our country is a set of public policies promoted through programs and plans that articulate and link universities, institutions, and national government agencies, with contributions from the government itself, the private sector, and foreign agents. Scientific and technical production today faces inescapable obstacles, in the context of the information society, which imposes new modes of research.
The thing to keep in mind is that the growth of scientific production has become more visible in recent years, and understanding the meaning of large amounts of data requires the introduction of research methods that allow not only simple description and quantification of the problem, but also its explanation, because simply counting the publications is only a first step to understand the state of the art of a phenomenon in the field of science (Salomón & Rodríguez, 2007).
The general objective of this work is to offer systematic and structured information on scientific production regarding technological advances in agricultural irrigation management systems at a national and international level, as an instrument for the analysis of opportunities in emerging areas of knowledge and strengths and weaknesses of the system. This work exclusively deals with the research results collected by the visible local, national and international publications in the 2014-2021 period.
More than 50 research publications on automated irrigation systems published between 2014 and 2021 from databases such as Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, Redalyc, Scielo and indexed journals were analyzed. Keywords, type of document, year, focus, journals, countries, highly cited publications and number of authors were included in the analysis. The number of publications has grown exponentially in recent years. The results indicated that “irrigation management systems” “irrigation in agriculture” and “automated irrigation system” were the most frequent terms in the publication titles.
