Abstract
Recently, the gender line is more evident and perceptible in accounting research, especially in areas where barriers, obstacles and challenges for women in the accounting profession have previously been detected. For this reason, the study identifies the scientific production related to gender studies in accounting, through a bibliometric review. The methodology is descriptive-documentary with a quantitative approach, using the SCOPUS database as a source of information. The interpretation of the data was carried out by means of a scientometric study, using bibliometric parameters that allowed the treatment of the indexed documents, additionally the world research trends are determined. The main results indicate: a) between 1993 and 2020, 298 documents on gender in accounting were identified, b) the Accounting journal is the most relevant in this type of studies, d) the United States is the country that has led the most research on gender in accounting, among other results. It is concluded that the different lines of research that are located in gender studies in accounting are approached from the thematic areas: education, history, profession and research. © 2021, Universidad del Zulia.
