Abstract:
Objectives: To synthesize and contextualize a variety of approaches in the scientific literature for identifying researchers and characterizing and measuring their scholarly activities and research outputs, providing elements that guide the construction of researcher profiles that offer a global and contextualized perspective. Methodology: A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted following the SALSA and PRISMA frameworks, based on a Scopus search that retrieved 747 records. After applying inclusión and exclusion criteria, 93 documents were analyzed using text mining techniques and topic modeling (LDA), complemented by an in-depth interpretative analysis of the articles’ content. Results: The review identified four main thematic axes encompassing researcher identification and personal attributes, academic trajectory, performance metrics in scientific and alternative contexts, distinctions, and dynamics of collaboration and work within research groups. These axes serve as a conceptual and practical guide for developing researcher profiles with enhanced contextualization.
