Main Article Content
Abstract
The relationship between the University and society takes place in various forms such as: curricular projects, academic programs and linkages (Malagón-Plata, 2006). From a social perspective, the university-society linkage is promoted to improve the quality of life of the community. The purpose of this article is to analyze the thematic evolution of universities and their links with society from a global context. A bibliometric analysis measuring the scientific performance of publications will be carried out. The Web of Science scientific document search platform was chosen to study the evolution of the thematic field by looking at 64 documents based on the keywords "University AND link to Society". The use of SciMAT software was used to visualize the central and basic themes of this study. The main conclusion determined five central themes around the evolution of research on the University and Link to Society which are: sustainability, science, innovation, information and Higher Education.
