Considering the importance of working capital in a firms? dynamics, the principal objective of this study is to highlight the main gaps and insights in literature concerning working capital and to suggest future research. For this purpose, bibliometric analysis was carried out through bibliographic information from both the Web of Science Core Collection and from the Scopus for the topic of ?working capital?. These data were first worked through bibliometric approaches, considering the VOSviewer and Gephi software and later surveyed through a literature review.

Finally, the majority of the networked research was focused on just a few authors, organizations, and countries.
