Resumen
This article empirically provides a scientific production trends overview of coffee agronomy
at the global level, allowing us to understand the structure of the epistemic community on this topic.
The knowledge contributions documented are examined using a bibliometric approach (spatial,
productive, and relational) based on data from 1618 records stored in the Web of Science (JCR and
ESCI) between 1963 and May 2021, applying traditional bibliometric laws and using VOSviewer for
the massive treatment of data and metadata. At the results level, there was an exponential increase
in scientific production in the last six decades, with a concentration on only 15 specific journals;
the insertion of new investigative peripheral and semiperipheral countries and organizations in
worldwide relevance coauthorship networks, an evolution of almost 60 years in relevant thematic
issues; and a co-occurring concentration in three large blocks: environmental sustainability of
forestry, biological growth variables of coffee, and biotechnology of coffee species; topic blocks that,
although in interaction, constitute three specific communities of knowledge production that have
been delineated over time.
