According to the National Solid Waste Policy, reverse logistics is an instrument of economic and social development characterized by a set of actions, procedures and means aimed at enabling the collection and return of solid waste to the business sector, for reuse, in its cycle or in other productAnálise bibliométrica da produção científica sobre logística reversa (2017-2021)
ion cycles, or other environmentally appropriate final destination. The objective of this study was to analyze the scientific production in the Web of Science database on Reverse Logistics, in the period from 2017 to 2021. This research is classified as descriptive and quantitative, having as a methodological procedure the performance of a bibliometric analysis. Data were collected in the Web of Science database by accessing the Portal of Periodicals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, with a time frame between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2021. They were used for data analysis RSudio and VOSviewer software, Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny bibliometric packages. As a result, 506 articles were identified, with the largest scientific productions coming from China, Brazil and India. The year with the most publications was 2019, with 99. The most relevant sources are: Journal of Cleaner Production; Sustainability; and Waste Management & Research. The main co-occurrences of keywords are: reverse logistics, sustainability and circular economy. The frequency of keywords are: model, management and project. Regarding co-authorship between countries, there is a prevalence of China, India and Iran. The most relevant authors are: Govindan, K.; Rameezdeen, R.; and Chileshe, N. Regarding co-citation between authors, there was a prevalence of Govindan, K., Fleischmann, M. and Rogers, D. S. Regarding the most relevant references at the international level, there are: Govindan (2015; 2017); Agrawal (2015); Fleischmann (1997). Finally, from the results, it is concluded that the scientific production on reverse logistics is of paramount importance, considering that through it it is possible to minimize losses related to returns.
