Bibliometric and spatially georeferenced datasets of beach research in Mexico from 1993 to 2023 (Q6693018)

These datasets resulted from a systematic review of published investigations on Mexican sandy beaches from 1993 to 2023. The literature search was performed on late December 2023 using three bibliographic repositories: Scopus, Web of Science and Redalyc. In the first dataset all records were standardized following the format of the Scopus database, including the following bibliographic metrics: authors, title, publication year, source, citations, authors' affiliations, and keywords. The second dataset includes the georeferenced beach location according to information provided in the articles listed in the first dataset. On this regard, the dataset includes the following fields: citation of the literature source; name of the beach as provided in the literature sources; latitude and longitude in grades, minutes and seconds using the geodetic datum WGS84; the research theme; and the research subtheme.
