Map of Research Published on Administration in Africa

Abstract

Knowing the path traveled is an important step to be able to distinguish what remains to be traveled. In correspondence with this idea, this study seeks to analyze the investigations carried out by administrative science researchers on the African continent. To achieve this end, we carry out a bibliometric study, starting from an analysis of publications on Administrative Sciences by researchers from the continent reported in Scopus. Once 100% of these publications are reviewed, 86.8% of them are worked on by defining the functions or areas of knowledge where they develop, in the same way the temporal evolution is analyzed, as well as the areas and countries where they develop. In addition, some elements related to the collaboration links between the countries are characterized according to the development of the study, the main journals where the investigation results have been published, and the behavior of the authors with the largest number of publications.
