1. Introduction
Although logistics is a consolidated field of practice and research, constant changes in market dynamics,
communications, strategy, infrastructure, and technology create a continuous demand for new studies to address
the empirical and theoretical implications and proposals for the new scenarios. In this perspective, logistics 4.0
is considered the current approach to discuss, manage and study logistics [3]. Considering the recent nature of
the topic [1], [2]., many gaps can still be found on literature, opening space for a significant number of
theoretical and empirical contributions. As already observed in different subjects, obtaining an integrated view
of the history and present publications as well as its systematization is a valuable result to assist researchers for
future contributions.

Abstract
The present study aims to analyze the trends on logistics 4.0 literature as well as an overview of the current publications on
the subject. Using bibliometric mapping, outputs from Scopus and Web of Science databases were filtered and treated,
resulting in a 186 scientific articles sample. Results reinforce the recent nature of the topic and the main trends, as well as
indication to future studies. Four categories emerged from each database analysis representing the key topics of current
publications. Evidence suggests six key trends to guide future research: theoretical advancements, strategic and competitive
impact, context and environmental variables, Big Data and logistics 4.0, technology and information systems applied to
logistics 4.0 and managerial aspects.
