Érika Pena Bedin e Luiz Carlos de Faria

Resumo
O propósito da pesquisa foi explorar como o tema sustentabilidade, nas instituições de ensino superior, foi abordado na literatura científica ao longo dos anos. Além disso, visou a identificar a necessidade de consolidação de conhecimentos fragmentados em novos conhecimentos, por meio de mapeamento dos perfis identificados. Para tal, o estudo combinou a revisão sistemática de literatura e análise bibliométrica. Os resultados demonstraram que o tema sustentabilidade nas instituições de ensino superior encontra-se em um período emergente, desde o ano 2010, e a maioria das iniciativas está sendo conduzida por meio de métodos teóricos e conceituais, considerando o tripé ambiente, economia e sociedade. O estudo pôde apontar o comportamento e a evolução da literatura sobre o tema e inferir que as características da metodologia, tipo e dimensão dos artigos estão relacionadas, possibilitando validade dos dados e replicabilidade do estudo.

Abstract
Sustainability in higher education institutions: A systematic review. The purpose of the research was to explore how the topic of sustainability in higher education institutions has been addressed in the scientific literature over the years. In addition, it aimed to identify the need to consolidate fragmented knowledge into new knowledge, by mapping the identified profiles. To this end, the study combined systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. The results showed that the topic of sustainability in higher education institutions has been in an emerging period since 2010, and most initiatives are being conducted through theoretical and conceptual methods, considering the tripod environment, economy and society. The study was able to point out the behavior and evolution of the literature on the topic and infer that the characteristics of methodology, type and dimension of the articles are related, enabling data validity and study replicability.
