Human flourishing is a thriving concept, whose use has greatly increased among academic researchers from a variety of fields, from the arts and humanities and psychology to the social and environmental sciences and economics. To better understand the concept's success, this work proposes a bibliometric review, in which statistical methods and data mining were used to analyze 1829 documents, chosen from the Scopus database by searching the term "human flourishing". Through cluster and network analyses, the study shows the concept's evolution and composition, as well as its current tensions and trends, in which the predominantly psychological approach is being compensated with social concerns and the search for justice. Furthermore, the concept's strong philosophical roots provide it with abstract richness and great fertility, which can be seen in keywords, such as virtue or eudaimonia. This bibliometric review proved to be useful for this type of study, despite the limitations imposed by the characteristics of the Scopus database itself.
人类繁荣是一个蓬勃发展的概念，其在来自艺术、人文科学、心理学、社会和环境科学以及经济学等多个领域的学术研究人员中得到了广泛应用。为了更好地理解这一概念的成功，本研究采用文献计量学综述的方法，运用统计方法和数据挖掘技术，对从 Scopus 数据库中通过搜索术语“人类繁荣”选择的 1829 篇文献进行了分析。通过聚类和网络分析，本研究展示了该概念的演变和组成，以及其当前的紧张局势和趋势，其中占主导地位的心理学方法正在被社会关注和对正义的追求所弥补。此外，该概念深厚的哲学根基为其提供了抽象的丰富性和巨大的生命力，这在诸如美德或幸福等关键词中可见一斑。尽管受到 Scopus 数据库自身特点的限制，但这种文献计量学综述对于这类研究是有用的。
