The purpose of this paper is to report a literature review on sustainability funding in higher education and an analysis of the theoretical influence on academic research. The theoretical contribution and the most influential authors were examined to better understand the intellectual structure that links the theories and authors that have researched this topic. This study not only allows comprehension of the current research scenario but also, based on the gaps identified, provides guidelines for future studies on sustainability in higher education.,Citations and co-citations were analyzed in a sample of 745 papers, published between 1994 and 2018 in international journals, found in the Web of Science database on the topic of sustainability in higher education. Using the co-citations map, multidimensional scaling (MDS) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the conceptual and theoretical relations in these studies were identified.,It was possible to identify five clusters of the topics investigated, namely, sustainability competences; campus greening; co-creation and transfer of knowledge; sustainability science; and sustainability in university courses and curricula. A considerable number of studies were found in the areas of sustainability competencies and campus greening that focus on sustainability aspects. The clusters co-creation and transfer of knowledge, and sustainability science are related to the management of sustainability in higher education. The sustainability in university courses and curricula cluster focuses on actions within the scope of the courses and academic training.,Although there are limitations related to the choice of a single database (Web of Science), as the study was limited to 745 papers, the analysis of the citations and co-citations provides important information on the study of sustainability in high education. The results are also limited to the presentation of the data grouped according to the factors extracted in the period analyzed, as it is not the objective of this study to examine in depth the characteristics of each of the 745 papers and their relationship with the theoretical dimensions identified.,This paper is original, as it identifies by applying MDS and EFA to scientific papers, the topic of sustainability in higher education and the clusters that constitute this field of study. The main contribution of this research is the finding that, although there are five different theoretical dimensions of sustainable financing, they are not treated separately. This study also contributes to increasing the knowledge on the main topics, concepts and relations, which can guide future research.

高等教育中的可持续发展资金:基于文献的综述

本文的目的是报告有关高等教育可持续性资助的文献综述,并分析对学术研究的理论影响。研究人员对理论贡献和最有影响力的作者进行了研究,以更好地理解将研究该主题的理论和作者联系起来的知识结构。这项研究不仅可以理解当前的研究情况,而且可以根据发现的差距为将来的高等教育可持续性研究提供指导。1994年至2004年之间发表的745篇论文样本对引文和引文进行了分析。在国际期刊中的2018年版本,可在Web of Science数据库中找到有关高等教育可持续性的主题。使用共引图 多维尺度化(MDS)和探索性因素分析(EFA),确定了这些研究中的概念和理论关系。可以确定所研究主题的五个类别,即可持续性能力;校园绿化;共同创造和传播知识;可持续发展科学;大学课程和课程的可持续性。在可持续性能力和校园绿化领域发现了大量针对可持续性方面的研究。知识的共同创造和转移以及可持续性科学的集群与高等教育中的可持续性管理有关。大学课程和课程群的可持续性着重于课程和学术培训范围内的行动。尽管单个数据库(Web of Science)的选择存在局限性,但由于该研究仅限于745篇论文,因此对引文和引文的分析为高等教育可持续性研究提供了重要信息。结果也仅限于根据所分析的时期中提取的因素对数据进行分组,因为深入研究这745篇论文的特征及其与理论维度的关系不是本研究的目的。本文通过将MDS和EFA应用于科学论文,高等教育的可持续性主题以及构成该研究领域的集群而确定,它是原始的。这项研究的主要贡献是发现,尽管可持续融资有五个不同的理论层面,但并没有对其进行单独处理。这项研究还有助于增加有关主要主题,概念和关系的知识,从而可以指导未来的研究。
