Abstract In 2018, Latin American Business Review (LABR) celebrated its 20th anniversary. On this occasion, to commemorate this event, this study provides a retrograde view of the journal using bibliometric analysis. The study analyses the citation and publication trends of the journal and its most productive authors, along with their affiliated institutions and countries. The findings indicate that LABR has shown steady growth in terms of publications as well as citations. Bibliographic coupling using VOSviewer resulted in the formation of six major clusters, which cover topics like corporate governance, foreign direct investment, firm performance, research and development, mergers and acquisitions, global franchises, customer perception, and loyalty.
