Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Objective. A bibliometric review of the scientific production in ecotourism in Latin America was carried out, with a focus on the contribution of Peru. Design/Methodology/Approach. Bibliometric techniques were combined with a content analysis approach to collect and analyze the literature on ecotourism in Latin America. Articles from 1992 to 2024 were collected using the Scopus database, and VOSviewer software was used to perform a bibliometric analysis. Results/Discussion. A total of 414 articles on ecotourism in Latin America were identified, with a diversity of thematic areas, including ecotourism and sustainable development; tourism, diseases, and dis-semination; conservation and ecology; protected areas and marketing; and ecology and spatiotemporal analysis. The analysis revealed low collaboration between authors and the need to diversify the topics investigated in Peru. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of publications in recent years, indicating a growing interest in ecotourism research in the region. Conclusions. Scientific production in ecotourism in Latin America shows growth but with low collaboration and a need for diversification. In Peru, opportunities for improvement were identified, such as increasing research and promoting international collaboration to increase its visibility and impact.
