Review and roadmap from the last 10 years (2010-2020)

In this 51st issue, the Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science (JEFAS) is on the eve of its 30th anniversary since its birth in 1992 as Cuadernos de Difusion by ESAN Graduate School of Business in Peru. Since its creation, the aims and scope have sought to share knowledge on economics and administrative sciences from developing countries to the world (Guillén Uyén, 2020; Lukacs de Pereny, 2018; Yamakawa, 2017). As of December 2009, the journal takes its current name. By June 2010, it is part of the SciELO citation index (currently one of the Web of Science collections), and it makes up Scopus since December 2012. From that moment, the journal offers publications twice a year with double-blind reviews, being one of the most relevant journals of empirical research from Ibero America in the economics, econometrics and finance categories, according to SCImago Journal Rank. For these reasons, with the editorial responsibility (Aguinis et al, 2013; Aguinis and Vaschetto, 2011) and the scope of literature review (Aguinis et al, 2020; Paul and Rialp Criado, 2020), this editorial has been offering a brief systematic review and roadmap based on a bibliometric analysis (Aria and Cuccurullo, 2017) since the past ten years (2010-2020).

The journal has published 165 articles with 327 authors considering 653 keywords and 6,480 references in the past decade. Regarding the authorship, 47 articles have a simple one, whereas 280 co-authors make up the other 118 papers. The articles have a collaboration rate of 2.24 co-authors/article. Likewise, the five authors accounting most publications have a range of 3 to 6 articles, as it is shown in Table 1.

As shown in Table 2, Manrai, A.K. and Manrai, LA. have one of the five most cited articles co-authored with Jayaram, D., and Jarboui, A. has another with Ezzi, F. In these five tops, the topics focus on the digital economy, intellectual capital, innovation and corporate governance.

Regarding the most frequent journals used by the authors, as it can be seen in Table 3, these come from economics and business fields, being the articles of economics journals with the most influence over the business (Azar, 2009).

Indeed, the five top most cited references in JEFAS (Table 4) are seminal articles focused on topics such as firm theory, market theory, resource-based theory, financial models and econometric models.

From the bibliometric analysis, a keyword thematic map (Figure 1) shows basic themes: economic...
