Research on Corporate Governance
This chapter intends to contribute to the analysis of corporate governance (CG) practices through a bibliometric review of the existent literature in order to understand the current state of CG, providing an overview of the main trends in this field of research. Although there is extensive research on CG, no recent studies try to update the current state of the art on this topic. It is conducted a bibliometric analysis. The study describes the evolutional research studies published in the digital library Scopus between 2010 and 2019 and compares the results obtained in evolutionary terms. The bibliometric analysis is based in the Scopus database, leading to a total database of 4,430 documents. Regarding the most recent articles published, the study focuses on the period between 2018 and July 2020, ending with a final sample of 887 articles. Finally, a bibliometric analysis on the 16 scientific articles that were more cited in the more recent period is made. Research avenues are provided based on these results and on more recent published articles regarding the CG subject.
