This study aims to analyze academic publications on corporate governance published in the member countries of the Organization of Turkic States (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Hungary, Turkmenistan, Cyprus) between 2015 and 2024. Within the scope of the research, a total of 631 scientific publications in the “Web of Science” (WoS) database were reached; these publications were examined by descriptive analysis techniques according to years, countries, institutions and authors. In addition, current trends and basic research axes of academic production in the field of corporate governance were evaluated by bibliometric analysis method. In this context, co-authorship relationships, keyword associations and research themes were tried to be revealed by visualization-based analysis tools. This increase reveals that the importance of corporate governance in the Turkic world is increasing and that academic production in this field is spreading at a global level. While Turkey stands out as the country with the largest academic production in this field, countries such as Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Kazakhstan also make significant contributions. The vast majority of research is supported by higher education institutions and research centers, and the literature is shaped by a multidisciplinary approach. Keywords and researcher collaboration analyses show that production on corporate governance publications develops with an interdisciplinary perspective and a global network. The concept of “corporate governance” has a strong relationship with concepts such as “capital structure”, “audit quality”, “firm value”, “agency theory” and “financial performance”.
