The objective of this study is to organize the previous studies of professional service firms (hereafter referred to as PSFs) using a bibliometric approach. In the study of PSFs, the target of analysis is the organization, not the professional individual, nor the institution. In recent years, research on PSFs has progressed, however, compared to analysis at the individual and institutional levels, research at the organization level has developed relatively late. This study aims to reveal the entire landscape of research on PSFs that has been accumulated so far. Bibliometric review and content analysis are applied to close to 500 articles identified by Web of Science. The result revealed that the context in which PSFs are discussed is strongly influenced by frameworks such as management and performance, which are common in the analysis of private companies.
