Resumen

Sports economics and management are both areas of study that have grown substantially in the last decades, and this growth has been reflected in the academic community with the emergence of numerous scientific journals in which an extensive body of work regarding these areas has been published. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the studies that have been published from 1993 to 2011 in the five publications of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Web of Science (WOS) database, that have a direct relationship with sports economics and management. The study presents the authors, collaboration and citation networks, scientific production patterns and frequent topics that were found and an analysis through bibliometric maps that are based on scientific activity. The findings identify a broad topic in the targeted field of study and a large territorial concentration within the research works that were analyzed.
