“…We kept our data source limited to the WoS database by following the recent review article (Mumu et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2020;Baker et al, 2020), who used the WoS data source for the review paper in the field of corporate governance, and citing the quality aspect of the research paper. The database is considered the world premier database of articles collection and has often been used in previous literature for SLR and bibliometric analysis (Baker et al, 2020;Goyal and Kumar, 2021;Kumar et al, 2020;Mukherjee et al, 2023aMukherjee et al, , 2023bCumming et al, 2023). The WoS provides access to a large corpus of quality articles, which helps to fulfil the objective of this study.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the literature from the Web of Science database published on board committees between 2002 and 2023 and outline the quantitative summary, journey of board committees’ research and suggest future research directions. Design/methodology/approach This study examines bibliometric-content analysis combined with a systematic literature review of articles on board committees to document the summary of the field. The authors used co-citation, co-occurrence and cluster analysis under bibliometric-content analysis to present the field summary. Findings Board committee composition, such as their gender, independence and expertise, as well as factors affecting corporate governance, such as reporting quality, earnings management and board monitoring, all have a significant impact on board committee literature. The field is getting growing attention from authors, journals and countries. Nevertheless, there is a need for further exploration in areas like expertise, member age and tenure, the economic crisis and the nomination and remuneration committee, which have not yet received sufficient attention. Originality/value This paper has both theoretical and practical contributions. From a theoretical perspective, this study substantiates the prevalence of agency theory within board committee literature, reinforcing the foundational role of agency theory in shaping discussions about board committees. On practical ground, the comprehensive overview of board committee literature offers scholars a road map for navigating this field and directing their future research journey. The identification of research gaps in certain areas serves as a catalyst for scholars to explore untapped dimensions, enabling them to strengthen the essence of the committees’ performance.
