This study explores the publication trends and impact of intellectual capital research within nonprofit organizations over the decade (2014-2023). Using bibliometric analysis, the research investigates 240 published articles from the Scopus database, focusing on the subjects of business management, economics, and social sciences. This research aims to identify trends, prominent authors, influential countries, and the overall landscapeof intellectual capital publications in nonprofit organizations. Findings indicate a significant increase in publications, with 87 articles published, predominantly by authors from the United States and Italy. Bontis emerged as the leading author with 115 citations in the Journal of Intellectual Capital. The outcomes of this study not only inform scholars about the trajectory of intellectual capital research in nonprofit organizations but also highlight potential areas for future inquiry, suggesting the need for exploration beyond the Scopus database to encompass broader perspectives from platforms like Web of Science and Google Scholar.
