Alternative dispute resolution, such as conciliation, are more efficient and effective when the parties have high levels of emotional intelligence. Likewise, the practice of mindfulness contributes to the development of that intelligence. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to review literature that guides the application of mindfulness in preconciliation, that is, before the parties begin the formal negotiation of the conflict. To this end, the mixed method of integral review was used, which combines quantitative analysis through the bibliometric technique of scientific mapping, with qualitative coding based on the critical interpretive synthesis technique. As a result, a comprehensive framework is proposed to organize and articulate in synergy the potential fronts for the application of mindfulness, in its multiple meanings, in preconciliation. The proposed framework is relevant to academics, individuals, and organizations from all sectors with an interest in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of these mechanisms.

This study ran an analysis seeking to identify the main bibliometric factors which determine the scientific work publication around this field of knowledge in WoS, Scopus and other indexes. A descriptive and multivariate analysis was used based on data mining, also classification and regression tree algorithms were applied on 2992 published papers from 168 Social Sciences investigation groups in Colombia's scientific system (2006-2015); In the process, attributes as type of article, methodological approach, type of collaboration, endogamy, field of knowledge and classification level of the groups were taken into account. The results point an increase in the number of papers published in WoS and Scopus with common attributes as international collaboration, quantitative approach and groups with high classification level. Scientific paper spreading in lowerimpact indexes is still numerous, gleaning publications with qualitative approach, domestic collaboration and endogenous tendencies. The findings suggest a necessity of considering the state of Social Sciences study in regional or local indexes, minding clear quality politics to avoid bias in the production such as endogamy.

The environmental health subject has a significant growth in the international scientific production. The aim of this study was to characterize the generation of scientific papers in the field of environmental health for Latin America, over a period of 10 years. The methodology involved the use of bibliometric techniques. The results show that there are 1219 documents on the topic. Of these, 83.23% were produced by Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia. The preferred language of publication is English, with 81.30% of the items, Spanish and Portuguese share equal figures, with a presence of 9,11%. The typology found indicates that 72.11% of the items were journal articles, 14.27% conference proceedings and 10.05% review articles. It is emphasized that all countries produce more than 60%. Other indicators show that Chile has the best average in citations per document, 8.02%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of Colombian scientific production, which SciELO has indexed in its citation index database. Some of the objectives were to determine the production volume and the degree of collaboration, to identify the most productive Colombian universities and determine whom the academic peers for scientific and technological research were in Colombia. The study analyzed 15302 documents published in 12 years. The study found a noticeable increase in production with a 0.75 degree of global collaboration. Public universities are the universities that most published highlighting Universidad Nacional y la Universidad de Antioquia. This work also confirmed an increase in international collaboration, especially, cooperation with countries in the Latin American region. Spain is Colombia's main academic partner. The study found unnoticeable increase in production with a 0.75 degree of global collaboration. Public universities are the universities that most published highlighting Universidad Nacional y la Universidad de Antioquia. This work also confirmed an increase an international collaboration, especially cooperation countries in the Latin American region. Spain is Colombia's main academic partner. There is the bias in pro of publications in Colombian magazines. The study confirm that Healthcare Sciences are the greatest nucleus scientific production in Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
