The purpose of this research is focused on the development of a bibliometric study, through a systematic review of the scientific production developed related to creative industries focused on the arts, with the purpose of serving as a tool for researchers in the development of their future studies. It also improves their knowledge on the most relevant articles, the most productive authors, or the scientific journals with the highest number of publications among other relevant points for research positioning. The methodology used was structured from a bibliometric analysis, classified as the most used tool for these types of studies, which is comprised of mathematical and statistical processes that establish the behaviour of existing scientific information at different levels. The search of the bibliographic material was done in the international database Scopus, through an advanced search of terms, obtaining a total of 110 publications. Almost two decades of scientific production is observed among the main results, as well as the identification of seven approaches. The main contribution of this work is to provide an overview and become the first bibliometric study that develops a diagnosis of this subject, which is not only limited to a theoretical formulation.
