Abstract

This study aims to investigate board diversity using bibliometric analysis. This study examines publication sources, authorship, citations, distribution of publications, and other bibliometric indicators. This study focuses on 290 articles published from 2013 to 2022. Using an automated process, these articles were extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed using bibliometric indicator analysis, VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel, OpenRefine and Perish or Publish. A total of 290 research articles and reviews on board diversity were included in this study. The present study found that the United States was the most productive country (n = 61), followed by the United Kingdom (n = 42), Australia (n = 29), and China (n = 27). The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France (n = 8) was the most prominent institution. This study unveils relevant articles, authors, and journals that have discussed board diversity. This study's findings can inform practitioners of the state of the art and the particulars of the most prolific studies. In addition, this study aims to clarify the project themes and tools utilized most frequently in these works. The locations of influential articles and their authors are disclosed. In addition, a list of often-used terms aids in developing a research agenda that highlights pertinent themes, methods, and industries.
