Abstract

Bibliometrics focuses mainly on the scientific literature analysis in a quantitative way, both in production and consumption, as it can be used as a source of detailed and systematized information of the scientific production in a discipline. The objective of this article is to use bibliometric indicators to provide a scientific production analysis about dividend policy focusing on key aspects in its analysis: scientific journals, articles, institutions, authors and the most influential countries. The sample covers the period from 1975 to 2016.
