This paper aims to analyze the international academic literature production about the main practices and initiatives related to collaborative management in supply chains in articles published in international journals indexed in Scopus. The research evaluated publications in the 2005-2014 period, using bibliometric techniques to identify the publication year, the country and the periodicals in which these papers were published, as well as the predominant themes. In total the research investigated 331 papers related to the following practices and collaborative initiatives: Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), Continuous Replenishment (CR), Efficient Customer Response (ECR) and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). The results demonstrated that (a) there is no concentration of publications in a small group of journals; (b) there is a concentration of publication about the topics in a few countries, especially the United States; (c) there is no concentration of authors with several articles published about one of the practices or initiatives; (d) the EDI and the VMI are the most investigated practices in the articles analyzed; and (E) there is no concentration of publications in any specific year, keeping the publications balanced over the period investigated by the research.
