Abstract
The objective of this work is to perform a Systematic Review of the Literature about the number of scientific articles published in the last ten years related to social aspect of sustainability: the Social Innovation. To do so, we performed researches in the databases “Scopus” and “Web of Science”, in which were inserted filters to select productions on the subject in question. After the research was made, the abstracts were read, 169 studies were carried out in the first base, and 85 in the second, based on the research protocol of Tranfield et al. (Br J Manag 14(3):207–222, 2003). In order to select the works to be analyzed, the articles were read to verify in which of them the theme “Social Innovation” was more recurrent and had greater visibility as a theoretical foundation. After this analysis, it was decided to study the articles in which the theme “Social Innovation” had more scope. Regarding the selected studies, the general characteristics of the articles about the topic were identified and, also, at which point there was convergence and/or divergence between them. In addition, it was also carried out an analysis of the articles, in order to identify how Social Innovation was scientifically studied in the last decade.
