The analysis of the publications in Web of Knowledge (WOK) -Business Economics area (BE)- and of the articles published in the Top-10 journals in Business Management area, according to Journal Citation Report de Thomson Reuters (JCR, 2015), show an important and growing up meta-analytic activity in this domain, as well as an unequal interest in this kind of research among the Top-10 journals. It is also observed a lack of guides or standards about meta-analysis in this field of knowledge. The practical implication of this study is to identify the terminology used to facilitate future bibliographic searches, as well as to show new approaches and research gaps in this field.
