Scholarly production, corporate governanceAbstract
Corporate governance constitutes nowadays one of the main topics of research in the fields of economics and business. The importance of the subject is not merely academic, if we consider the large number of codes of corporate governance promulgated in recent years, or the importance of corporate governance issues in the current international financial crisis. This paper has analyzed 2,147 publications on corporate governance included in ISI Web of Science, and their corresponding 79,635 citations, with the aim of identifying the prevailing research patterns in the field. In particular, we have traced the most significant publications and authors, the most productive authors, the journals in which they have published, and the approaches used to carry out the investigation.
