Abstract

This work aims to present a systematic review of the literature on Scientific Tourism, in the Brazilian and international contexts. Through exploratory research and systematic and bibliometric reviews of the literature, in Web of Science, Scopus, and Publicações de Turismo databases, this study sought to identify scientific paper production related to the term “Scientific Tourism” until the present moment. A total of 32 articles were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed, using Mendeley, Excel, QGIS and IRAMUTEQ software. Bibliometric laws were also verified. The main results point to a concentration of studies in 2016, and coming from European countries, especially from Poland. The articles were published in 23 journals from 13 countries, with emphasis on: Ido Movement for Culture, Annals of Tourism Research and Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo. A total of 65 authors or co-authors were identified, the main ones being Polish: Wojciech J. Cynarski and Krzysztof Kubala. The categorization of themes around Scientific Tourism brings together discussions about scientific events and trips, nature tourism, education, geotourism, and socioeconomic development. Finally, there is a need for publications that deepen the theoretical discussion on Scientific Tourism.
