Humanitarian Operations (HO) have attracted the interest of professionals and academics, mainly due to their potential to reduce human suffering in disaster situations, leading to consolidation as a research field. With the evolution of the HO research field, synthesis of the knowledge and previous discoveries has become an important task for its advancement. In this study, a literature review based on bibliometric mapping techniques was carried out in order to identify the HO intellectual structure. As main results, we visually present the general emerging structure of the HO field using the VOS viewer software to devise the networks of the principal articles. The seminal research in this field is organized into two clusters: Humanitarian Supply Chain Management, and Distribution Optimization in Humanitarian Logistics. Regarding the emerging intellectual structure, three clusters were identified: Relationship Management and Big Data, Healthcare facility location, and Network flow restoration optimization. Finally, some gaps and questions for future research are presented.
人道主义行动（HO）吸引了专业人士和学者的关注，主要是因为其在灾害情况下减轻人类痛苦的潜力，从而巩固成为一个研究领域。随着人道主义行动研究领域的发展，知识和先前发现的综合已成为其进步的一项重要任务。在本研究中，基于文献计量映射技术进行了文献综述，以确定人道主义行动的知识结构。作为主要结果，我们使用VOS viewer软件直观地展示了人道主义行动领域的总体新兴结构，以设计主要文章的网络。该领域的开创性研究分为两个集群：人道主义供应链管理和人道主义物流中的配送优化。关于新兴的知识结构，确定了三个集群：关系管理与大数据、医疗设施选址和网络流恢复优化。最后，提出了一些未来研究的差距和问题。
