This paper reviews 726 academic research studies covering logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM) applications within a global context. Articles are analyzed according to their publication year and outlet, common themes, and countries or regions investigated. The sample was drawn from the ABI/TNFORM Global database, which includes almost 1,800 journal titles. The review offers a starting point for researchers, graduate students, faculty members or practitioners examining international L&SCM applications. The article also draws attention to the wide array of global L&SCM studies conducted, their settings and viewpoints. Additionally, this paper highlights some of the most interesting works and draws attention to lesser-researched countries and regions of the world. The overview also provides an introduction for practitioners and managers to what academic research has covered in the area of global L&SCM. Practitioners can use this review as a starting point for the identification of relevant and useful references for their particular task.
