Therefore, this paper presents a review of research through the Scopus database. The objective is to use bibliometric analysis and VOSviewer network visualisation to explore multiple subject areas and provide the current state of CG research to understand the evolving trend of the research field through existing literature. In addition, it aims to use the scientific method to identify hotspot keywords direction, impactful corporate governance studies direction and provide some additional insight into the summary findings for future research.
