Knowledge Organization System and Post-Disciplinarity Climate Change and COVID-19 in the context of the 2030 Agenda

Abstract

The study was inspired by the theoretical approaches of Beghtol, Buckland, Kleinberg, and Hjørland to discuss knowledge representation on Climate Change and COVID-19 in the context of Agenda 2030. This exploratory research was based on bibliometric methodsthrough VOSviewer and CitNetexplorer tools to analyze the terms Climate Change and COVID-19, in the databases Scopus, Web of Science, and Dimensions, in the period 2019-2020. Approaches 7 and 8 of domain analysis were used to discuss the knowledge of disciplinarity and to identify the emergence of domains. Data collected from Brazil National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, in the Lattes Platform and Directory of Research Groups, were added for analysis purposes. The conclusion pointedout that Climate Change and COVID-19 can be considered emerging domains, suggesting a possible post-disciplinary model. The 2030 Agenda reinforces the importance of international cooperation and a commitment to exchange information on scientific communities and other communities that discuss sustainable solutions to global problems such as Climate Change and COVID-19.
