Abstract

Resilience is a “reemerging concept” that has attracted the interest of scientists from different fields, authorities, and international organizations. This article aims to identify and analyze the scientific production on resilience in rural studies, through a bibliometric review. The analysis covers the following issues: number and chronology of publications, source of work, in addition to the most cited articles and authors. 148 publications in English were identified in the SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, until December 2020. The results demonstrate that publications on resilience in rural studies have experienced a significant increase in several international journals, since 2010. It was also observed that there is a domain academic background of researchers from the USA, Australia, and countries of the United Kingdom; however, China has also shown a significant growth trend in this area. The article ends by pointing out the importance of using such a theoretical lens in rural studies.
