In accordance with this premise, this research presents a comparative analysis of the research carried out by administrative science researchers in the Latin American and African regions. For this purpose, an analysis of the publications on Administrative Sciences by researchers from the continent reported in Scopus is carried out. After an initial review of 100% of these publications, work is carried out with about 87% of these, defining the functions or areas of knowledge where they are developed, it is also analyzed, the evolution over time and the sectors and countries where they are developed and applied. In addition, some elements related to the collaboration links between the countries are characterized based on the development of the research, the main journals where the research results have been published and the behavior of the authors with the largest number of publications.
