The results obtained from this database were organized in tables and figures, categorizing the information by variables such as the Year of Publication, Country of Origin and Area of Knowledge, which allowed to identify, through qualitative analysis, the position of different authors regarding the proposed topic. The main findings of this research were that Brazil stood out for having the highest scientific production, leading the list with 108 publications. Likewise, the area of knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material related to the study of variables was agricultural and biological sciences, with 115 published documents.
