  • 1. Ştefan cel Mare University (Suceava)

Description

Tax evasion is an illegal activity that consists in not paying taxpayers’ obligations to the state, through fraudulent maneuvers that change the amount of taxes to be paid. This research analyzes the scientific production with reference to the phenomenon of tax evasion in the Scopus database during the years 2010-2022. This research aims to determine the state of knowledge of the phenomenon of tax evasion at the global level, identify future research trends, the most frequently cited authors in the field, the collaboration between research institutions, the co-author network of countries, as well as the most addressed publications from different studies, journals and countries that address the topic of tax evasion. Publications with reference to the phenomenon of tax evasion were retrieved and extracted from Scopus, which is a bibliographic and bibliometric database in online format, including scientific journals, delivered via the Internet. Provides access to abstracts of scientific articles from more than 22,400 international scientific journals published by more than 5,000 international publishing houses, without language restrictions, in the reference period 2010-2022. Bibliometrix R was used in calculating and visualizing bibliographic information extraction and performing descriptive analysis. The VOSviewer tool was used to construct, review and visualize the geographical areas with the most frequent studies on this topic, by analyzing the international collaboration of the authors.

Evaziunea fiscală este o activitate ilegală care constă în neplata obligaţiilor contribuabililor faţă de stat, prin manevre frauduloase care modifică cuantumul impozitelor de plătit. Această cercetare analizează producţia ştiinţifică cu referire la fenomenul evaziunii fiscale în baza de date Scopus în perioada anilor 2010-2022. Această cercetare îşi propune determinarea stadiului cunoaşterii fenomenului evaziunii fiscale la nivel global, identificarea viitoarelor tendinţe de cercetare, autorii cei mai des citaţi din domeniu, colaborarea între instituţiile de cercetare, reţeaua de co-autor al ţărilor, precum şi publicaţiile cele mai abordate din diferite studii, reviste şi ţări care abordează tematica evaziunii fiscale. Publicaţiile cu referire la fenomenul evaziunii fiscale au fost preluate şi extrase din Scopus, care este o baza de date bibliografică şi bibliometrică în format online, cuprinzând reviste ştiinţifice, livrată prin intermediul Internetului. Oferă acces la rezumatele articolelor ştiinţifice din peste 22,400 de reviste ştiinţifice internaţionale publicate la peste 5,000 de edituri internaţionale, fără restricţii de limbă, în perioada de referinţă 2010-2022. Bibliometrix R a fost utilizat în calculul şi vizualizarea extragerii informaţiilor bibliografice şi efectuarea unei analize descriptive. Instrumentul VOSviewer s-a utilizat pentru a construi, examina şi vizualiza examinat zonele geografice cu studiile cele mai frecvente pe această temă, prin analiza colaborării internaţionale a autorilor.
