             abstract = "Land cover is an important descriptor of the earths terrestrial 
                         surface. It is also crucial to determine the biophysical processes 
                         in global environmental change. Land-use change showcases the 
                         management of the land while revealing what motivated the 
                         alteration of the land cover. The type of land use can represent 
                         local economic and social benefits, framed towards regional 
                         sustainable development. The Amazon stands out for being the 
                         largest tropical forest globally, with the most extraordinary 
                         biodiversity, and plays an essential role in climate regulation. 
                         The present work proposes to carry out a bibliometric analysis of 
                         1590 articles indexed in the Scopus database. It uses both 
                         Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer software for the evaluation of 
                         author keywords, authors, and countries. The method encompasses 
                         (i) search criteria, (ii) search and document compilation, (iii) 
                         software selection and data extraction, and (iv) data analysis. 
                         The results classify the main research fields into nine main 
                         topics with increasing relevance: Amazon, deforestation, remote 
                         sensing, land use and land cover change, and land use. In 
                         conclusion, the cocitation authors network reveals the development 
                         of such areas and the interest they present due to their worldwide 
                         importance.",
