This article reviews and analyses the empirical and theoretical literature on modern slavery, a topic that has received substantial attention in recent years. A qualitative and quantitative meta-literature review was carried out on modern slavery literature published between 1999 and 2021. A total of 280 works on the topic were analysed using citation analysis (Harzing's Publish or Perish and VOSviewer software) and content analysis. Several noteworthy aspects in the literature were identified, specifically the topics, articles, authors, journals, institutions, countries, co-authorship networks, and research streams. The research streams fall into three categories: 1) an overview and growth of modern slavery, 2) modern slavery and theories, and 3) modern slavery and country behaviour. The review and analyses led to the development of 15 research questions for future research. In addition, two views about current research on modern slavery were established: 1) the assertion that modern slavery is not exclusive to specific nations, jurisdictions, or periods, and 2) despite the numerous areas of accounting research on modern slavery, there is still a lack of studies on the topic. This study is the first to use inclusive mapping to empirically evaluate modern slavery.

现代奴隶制：使用文献计量分析和治理关系的文献综述

本文回顾并分析了关于现代奴隶制的实证和理论文献，这是一个近年来受到广泛关注的话题。对 1999 年至 2021 年间出版的现代奴隶制文学进行了定性和定量的元文献综述。使用引文分析（Harzing 的 Publish or Perish 和 VOSviewer 软件）和内容分析对总共 280 篇关于该主题的作品进行了分析。确定了文献中几个值得注意的方面，特别是主题、文章、作者、期刊、机构、国家、合着网络和研究流。研究流分为三类：1）现代奴隶制的概述和发展，2）现代奴隶制和理论，以及 3）现代奴隶制和国家行为。审查和分析导致了未来研究的 15 个研究问题的发展。此外，建立了关于现代奴隶制当前研究的两种观点：1）断言现代奴隶制并非特定国家、司法管辖区或时期所独有，以及 2）尽管现代奴隶制的会计研究领域众多，但仍然存在缺乏对该主题的研究。这项研究是第一个使用包容性映射来实证评估现代奴隶制的研究。
