Bibliometric analysis of the Latin American journals indexed in the Business, Management and Accounting category in SCOPUS. E-Ciencias de la Información [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.2, pp.20-38.

Science's constant development makes it necessary to carry out studies that allow us to understand its global development, as well as the level of development of each field and the scientific production of a certain geographical area. The bibliometric study presented focuses on the scientific production published in Latin American journals within the Business, Management and Accounting (BMA) category of the Scimago Journal Rank and the information stored in the SCOPUS database. Thus, the information regarding the documents indexed in the SCOPUS database was downloaded. The patterns of document production per journal and per year were identified based on a frequency count. The most productive countries, the degree of collaboration and the type of collaboration were also identified. An increase in co-authorship and collaboration rates was pointed out, as well as an increase in international collaboration. There has been a considerable increase in the production between 1996 and 2010. Although the collaboration rates have increased, this collaboration is mainly maintained between Latin American countries.
