Information is the basic element of all scientific research, which requires finding data and processing them in order to obtain aggregate information. In addition, it is necessary to know the point of view of various authors who have already addressed the research topic. Therefore, bibliometric analyses have acquired great importance in the scientific field. The present work aimed at reviewing in depth the scientific literature related to health network management control, in order to identify the most relevant publications, the most influential authors and the different trends. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used to analyze 476 articles, based on a series of bibliometric indicators over a period of 51 years. This study indicates that the scientific literature on health networks is an area of knowledge in full force and topicality, mainly oriented to the theoretical study of network analysis; the quantitative methodology prevails, through primary information sources; the predominant language is English and only recent findings related to the descriptive study of the control of health networks are presented.

Keywords : bibliometric analysis; management control; health networks.
