Intellectual Capital (IC) has emerged as a critical area of study with far-reaching implications across various sectors, including banking, higher education, and supply chain management. Despite its growing importance, a comprehensive understanding of the field's research landscape remains elusive. The objective of this study is to conduct an exhaustive review of scientific publications in the field of Intellectual Capital. It aims to delineate the historical development, geographical contributions, thematic focus, and future research directions in IC. Employing advanced bibliometric analysis and data visualization techniques, the study scrutinizes publications from the Scopus database. It utilizes multiple focal points such as documents, authors, and keywords to develop interconnected networks, thereby offering a panoramic view of the field. The study reveals a surge in research activity characterized by a collaborative and globalized research environment. Geographically, Italy, China, Indonesia, and Malaysia emerge as leading contributors. Thematic clusters ranging from 'Governance, Disclosure, Efficiency' to 'Entrepreneurship, Innovation, SMEs' were identified, indicating the field's growing complexity and interdisciplinary nature. This study is unique in its comprehensive approach to understanding Intellectual Capital.
