The purpose of this article is to analyze the most productive and influential countries engaging in market orientation (MO) research between 1990 and 2016. This article shows the general trajectories of these countries, the relationships among them, and their research in the area of MO by analyzing results on citations and publications. The article uses applied bibliometric techniques on available information found in the Web of Science. The results show that the 10 leading countries produce more than 70% of total publications, where the United States leads in all indicators, followed by the United Kingdom and China. Furthermore, although there has been a steady increase in overall number of publications, this trend is not shared evenly among different nations.

“…Finally, the elaboration of this paper is justified on the incipient existence of bibliometric studies focused on innovation that encompass the region which, in turn, leads to the inexistence of reliable indicators to support decision-making regarding public policies for the development of the area. As mentioned on the introduction, bibliometric papers address innovation in their most diverse aspects, from innovation in general to specific areas of innovation, such as open innovation and innovation in services (Fagerberg & Verspagens, 2009;Fagerberg et al, 2012;Zhu & Guan, 2013;Sun & Grimes, 2016;Cancino, Merigó & Coronado, 2017), nevertheless, none of these papers has focused on Latin America. In the region, under the optics of the bibliometric method, a few studies though, stand out by addressing different scopes, such as the paper of Ronda-Pupo (2016), who mapped the Latin American knowledge on management, the work of De Moya-Anegón and Herrero-Solana (1999), who compared the bibliometric and scientific indicators of the region, and that of Collazo-Reyes (2014), whose research theme addressed the growth of Latin American journals.…”

The article's objective is to present a quantitative overview of innovation studies developed by Latin American authors. We adopted the bibliometric method to build the study, with data originated from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, covering 30 years (1987-2016). From this data analysis, we found out that innovation studies in Latin America, for long period, did not present a significant volume. However, this scenario has undergone changes, such as: (1) the growth in the volume of publications of the countries; (2) the relevant collaboration between Latin American countries and the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom; (3) and relevant presence of Brazilian authors and universities as the most productive in the region. Despite these changes, Latin America still falls behind the reference countries in the area, accounting for 2.75% of the worldwide bibliographic production on innovation in the databases analyzed.

“…Despite the above, the increase in the number of articles on innovation research has not necessarily had an impact of equal magnitude in terms of influence and relevance of the results in the scientific community. According to Cancino et al 4 , only 1.45% of the academic articles on innovation research published in recent decades exceed 200 citations in other journals of the WoS. In addition, only 4% of the publications exceed 100 citations.…”

“…Such growth annually exceeds the growth rate of the set of disciplines on other areas of research 4 , which allows us to understand that academics from different areas of knowledge are interested in publishing and how activities, processes and results of innovation affect our economies and promoting development, not only of new businesses, but also of greater social and economic well-being. According to Fagerberg et al 5 , several thousand academics worldwide are currently researching such issues, which explains the importance of knowing who the leaders in innovation research are.…”
