Abstract

The paper presents a bibliometric study to demonstrate the evolution of the publication on the subject absorptive capacity and its interface with the innovation. It features major international productions among the years 1990-2012. It totals 1,447 international articles filtered in the title, abstract and keywords. Analyses are presented from graphics with intersections of authors, universities, year of publication, countries and the H-INDEX impact factor in major journals, extracted from the SCIMAGO Journal Country Rank. Relevance is identified in much of the international publication on the subject studied and present in major journals, which may represent a publishing opportunity for researchers with regard to national and international publishing.
