Venezuelanos no Amazonas: um estudo bibliométrico no portal de periódicos CAPES no período compreendido entre 2010 a 2025

Abstract

This article aims to present a bibliometric study on the scientific production related to the theme “Venezuelans in Amazonas”. Citizens from this country left their homeland due to the worsening economic, political, and humanitarian crisis that began in 2015, characterized by hyperinflation, food insecurity, unemployment, and institutional instability. Among the destination points, although secondary to Roraima, the state of Amazonas began to receive a continuous flow of migrants, especially towards the capital Manaus, in search of work, access to public services, and support networks. The research method consisted of collecting articles from the CAPES Journal Portal, using search terms in both Portuguese and Spanish, such as: venezuelanos, venezolanos, refugiados, migração, migración and imigrantes, combined with the geographic descriptors Amazonas and Manaus. The time frame covered the years 2010 to 2025. The results identified a total of 26 articles, with significant growth from 2020 onwards and a peak in publications in 2023 and 2024 with 6 articles each. The study highlights the diversity of interdisciplinary approaches to the migratory phenomenon in the Amazon and the importance of broad descriptors for retrieving scientific knowledge, evidencing the academic response to the humanitarian crisis in the region.
