Abstract

The purpose of this research work is to evaluate the evolution of the economy in pharmaceutical companies; determine the thematic axes and identify the co-citation networks between authors, documents and sources of literature on the economy in intersection with the pharmaceutical industry. A descriptive study was carried out with bibliometric indicators and visualization maps, in which the Scopus database of the documents included from 2013 to 2023 was used. 129 records that met the inclusion criteria were considered, 89 research articles, 4 conference papers, 11 reviews and others, in addition to being filtered by the languages ​​of English and Spanish. When talking about the results of the research carried out, the authors Harrison C stand out with 3 publications and Antunes Ams with 2. Although there are many to talk about in the journals and affiliations, only two of each have been highlighted. . On the journal side, Sustainability (Switzerland) and Systematic Reviews In Pharmacy were found with 4 and 3 publications, respectively. Finally, regarding affiliations, the University Of Chittagong with 9 and the Kafrelsheikh University with 8 publications each were obtained as references.
