ABSTRACT: Community Advisory Boards (CABs) play a vital role in ensuring community representation and engagement in research, particularly in the context of health and social sciences. This bibliometrics analysis delves into the existing literature on CABs to assess the current state of research, identify authors and institutions, and uncover potential research avenues. A search for articles on the topic was performed in the Web of Science (WoS) database, which is a global, publisher-independent citation database. The search identified a total of 240 relevant documents and the collected data was analyzed using a bibliometric tool called Bibliometrix. The main results are presented and discussed, followed by some potential avenues for research.
