This paper investigates the extent to which the topics covered in Spanish journals from the field of Business and Finance published between 2010 and 2020 correspond to the topics with the highest international impact. To this end, the degree of similarity between the topics published in the journals with the highest international impact according to the JCR and SJR indexes and the topics published in a set of Spanish journals is analysed. The topics are identified using the keywords provided by the authors and the degree of similarity between the research topics is determined using a word co-occurrence analysis. The results show that although Spanish journals are broader in terms of topics, the topics covered in them are among the leading topics according to the JCR and SJR and that there is a direct relationship between the topics and their degree of influence or impact.
