Academic literature in the field of management and organizational studies in Spanish-speaking countries: A bibliometric analysis of the output in journals included in the Latindex-Catálogo database (2000-2010)

This paper examines the production of the Spanishlanguage literature in the field of management and organizational studies (MOS) in the last decade. To this end, we have constructed a dataset of articles published in scholarly journals listed in the Latindex Catalog database. The results show that Spain stands out from the rest of the countries not only in terms of output quantity, but also in citation density indicating a more advanced degree of scholarly content. In addition to this, Spain commands the largest share of empirical quantitative articles, an approach often associated with the model favored by researchers in this field in the United States. Within Latin American countries, Colombia and Mexico stand out for their production quantity, while Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela and Costa Rica do not exhibit statistically significant differences in citation density.
