• Resumen

  • The European Research on Management and Business Economics is a well-established journal in the fields of management, business, and economics. Founded 30 years ago in Spain under the name Investigaciones Europeas de Dirección y Economía de la Empresa, the journal initially published in Spanish. Since 2015, it shifted to English-language publications and has experienced a significant increase in visibility, citation impact, and international reach. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the publications of the journal from 1995 to 2024, using data from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The analysis is complemented by the use of VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software to map research trends, co-citation networks, and keyword patterns. Findings indicate that the journal is currently undergoing a phase of international growth and consolidation. The most productive and influential research topics include entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, strategic management, tourism, and customer behaviour. Moreover, the results also highlight the increasing importance of contributions from Asian and Latin American countries.
