This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric and citation network analysis of corporate governance literature spanning two decades, from 2004 to 2024. Utilizing the Scopus database, the research employs advanced analytical tools such as R-Bibliometrix and VOSviewer to systematically analyze and visualize the scientific literature on corporate governance. The primary aim is to identify the most influential authors, institutions, and countries in the field, while also uncovering key themes and trends that have shaped the discourse over the past 20 years. This research contributes significantly to the understanding of the corporate governance landscape by providing a thorough overview of the existing literature, highlighting gaps for future research, and offering valuable insights into the field’s evolution. Furthermore, it demonstrates the effectiveness of bibliometric and network analysis tools in revealing the complex interconnections within academic discussions on corporate governance. As such, this study serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the development and future direction of corporate governance.
