• This paper aims to identify the thematic structure of the literature on open innovation in the pharmaceutical industry using bibliometric analysis based on bibliographic coupling, based on the publications that comprise the H 26 index for the topic, according to Scopus. The publications coupled using VosViewer software yield nine clusters. Once these were organized, we reviewed their respective publications to discuss the subject matter of each one. Among the most relevant findings, five relevant clusters were identified: on open innovation models, governance aspects, financial performance, intellectual property and pioneering work covering the broad spectrum of innovation and competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry
