Sumario:[EN] Previous studies have established that there is a positive evolution of the quantity ofcorporate social responsibility (CSR) research output in terms of published papers. Sofar, however, there has been little discussion about how influential it has becomewithin the business discipline. This article seeks to obtain data which will help toaddress this research gap. The databases Web of Science andJournal Citation Reports(JCR) were used to carry out analyses at the journal and article levels. Results con-firmed a solid growth in CSR research and revealed that papers on the topic havegained attention from the scientific community. Furthermore, CSR articles are mostlyconcentrated in a small number of specialized journals, and opting for these journalsmay be related to the total citations. The conclusions drawn from this study may beespecially useful for academic managers and business researchers interested in theevaluation of academic performance.
