This work shows how Corporative Social Responsibility (CSR) has been filtering into
different management areas, providing an insight into its evolution, and presenting literature reviews
and efforts to incorporate conceptualisations and recommendations on its application. It can be
understood through a scientometric and bibliometric analysis, using the WoS documents on the
“Social Responsibility” concept in the “Business and Economics” category, analysing a total of
8728 papers up to the year 2020. In this work, CSR is associated with views from different fields of
study in economics and business, highlighting diverse management fields; it seeks to explain the
correlation between CSR and concepts from such fields of study, suggesting that there is a need to
order and question the current understanding of CSR and show its relevance so it can be considered
an area of specialisation within the management of businesses.
