Abstract: Bibliometrics is a scientific discipline that studies quantitatively the bibliographic material of a particular topic. This study analyzes management research published by Latin American countries between 1990 and 2019. The work uses the Web of Science database and provides several country-level bibliometric indicators including the total number of publications and citations, and the h-index. The results indicate that Brazil, Chile and Mexico have constantly led the region’s scientific publications. The temporal evolution shows a significant increase on the number of publications during the last years that seems to continue in the future. The results also show that operations research and finance are the most significant topics in the region.
Keywords: Latin America, management research, bibliometrics, web of science, Country analysis
