Bibliometric Analysis of Leverage, Liquidity and Profitability: Revealing Literature Gaps, Author Collaborations, and Key Insights

Abstract
The primary goal of this paper was to perform a thorough bibliometric analysis that specifically examines the leverages, liquidity, and profitability. It aims to summarize current research while dealing with core issues regarding publication patterns, notable journals, and countries involved, citations, collaborative networks, prevalent terms, and statistical methodologies employed in this field so far. The Biblioshiny package in R-studio and VosViewer were used to do bibliometric analysis on a Scopus dataset consisting of 416 articles. The study provides various aspects related to publishing pattern, productive nations and articles, top journals, co-occurrence networks, coupling networks and keywords used in the study which would be helpful for the future researchers. Further, investigations were mainly undertaken by examining all the sectors combined, however the focus on a single industrial sector especially in India was limited. The majority of the studies were based on secondary data, allowing for the possibility of primary research.
Keywords: Capital Structure, Debt-equity ratio, Firm’s profitability, Leverage, Liquidity, ROE.
