Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the field of economic competitiveness, focusing on its research evolution, thematic structure, key contributors, and future directions. The main objective is to map scientific production in this domain, identify the most influential authors, institutions, and countries, and explore emerging research themes. Using bibliometric methods based on data from the Scopus database, the analysis covers publications from 2020 to 2025. Temporal analysis, authorship and collaboration patterns, and keyword co-occurrence analysis were applied to examine how academic interest in economic competitiveness has evolved and how research networks and thematic structures have shaped the field. The results show a significant rise in publication output between 2020 and 2022, coinciding with major global economic transformations after the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a gradual decline after 2023. A small group of authors achieved high scientific impact despite limited publications, and collaboration analysis revealed a cohesive core research group. Institutional and international analyses identified multiple geographic clusters, with the United States playing a central role in the global network.Keyword analysis identified three main thematic clusters: competitiveness, economic growth, and emerging topics, reflecting both the conceptual core of the field and its diversification toward innovation and sustainable development. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen collaboration, broaden participation, and integrate emerging themes into future research agendas.
