Our study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on the link between intellectual capital (IC) and financial performance. By employing scientometric methods, we aim to map the structure of this research field, identify key trends, and emerging research directions. The analysis is based on a dataset of 415 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from the Scopus database. Key bibliometric indicators, including publication trends, author productivity, citation analysis, and keyword co-occurrence analysis, are employed to uncover the evolution of the research field. Findings provide valuable insights into the current and future research opportunities in the domain of IC and firm financial performance. This study offers both theoretical and practical implications. It contributes to the advancement of IC theory by identifying key research gaps and can inform strategic decision-making, investment decisions, and policy development.
