In this context, this research analyzes the literature on biorefineriesand the methods of assessing social impacts that consider quality of life, employment,and stakeholders, among other metrics, as guided by the United Nations—UN. Asystematic review combined with bibliometric, semantic, and content analysis was carriedout by searching scientific documents in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. A totalof 116 articles were located, of which three researchers selected twenty-three to composethe research. The Fleiss Kappa Index was applied to verify the agreement of the evaluators’decision regarding the inclusion and exclusion of articles, whose result was K = 0.43above the tolerable limit defined for the inclusion of articles, which is K ≥ 0.21. Therefore,all twenty-three articles were included. The results indicate that authors showed greaterinterest in the topic of this research in the period from 2017 to 2019, representing 70%of the total scientific findings in the reviewed literature. It was observed that the typesof research that predominate in the studies are empirical, with 52% of the articles. Thequalitative approach, however, obtained a variation of 400% in the studied period. Anotherimportant fact is that 93% of all authors published only 1, and not 61% as expected byLotka law. Social impact studies show greater adherence to second-generation lignocellulosicbiorefineries, which use the fractionation of inedible materials and projects whosemethods consider Social Life Cycle and Multicriteria are more consistent for assessing thesocial impacts of biorefineries, as they allow an analysis of qualitative and quantitativeinformation. 收起
